In order to find the pH, one needs to know the CONCENTRATIONS of the sodium acetate and the acetic acid. Knowing the volumes is not enough information.

When washing soda and vinegar combine?

There are two possible outcomes depending on how much of each is mixed. Washing soda is sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) while vinegar is acetic acid (CH3CO2H) in water. If there is more washing soda than acetic acid then the products will be sodium acetate (NaCH3CO2) and sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), also known as baking soda. The reaction will have no visible effect, though there will be a slight increase in temperature. If there is more acetic acid than sodium carbonate, ideally at least twice as much, then the products will be sodium acetate, water, and carbon dioxide. The mixture will bubble vigorously.


What combinations of compounds will make a buffer when mixed?

In order to have an effective buffer, one needs to have a weak acid or a weak base, and the salt (conjugate) of that weak acid or weak base. Examples would be :weak acid/conjugate base: acetic acid/sodium acetateweak base/conjugate acid: ammonia/ammonium chloride


Can be mixed in a solution with H2CO3 to make a buffer?

H2CO3 is not used as buffer.


What happens when you mix zinc oxide and vinegar?

When zinc oxide (ZnO) is mixed with vinegar, which contains acetic acid (CH₃COOH), a chemical reaction occurs. The acetic acid reacts with zinc oxide to form zinc acetate, water, and carbon dioxide gas, which may be observed as bubbles. This reaction highlights zinc oxide's amphoteric nature, as it can react with both acids and bases. The end result is a solution containing dissolved zinc acetate.


How are buffers produced?

There are two types of Buffer solution and both have different preparation:Acidic BufferAcidic buffers are made by mixing a weak acid with its conjugate base.Example:When we mix Acetic acid with Sodium citrate, an acidic buffer is formed.Basic BufferBasic buffers are made by mixing a weak base with its conjugate base.Example:When Ammonium hydroxide is mixed with Ammonium chloride, a basic buffer is formed.

What type of a reaction occurs when a sodium hydroxide solution is mixed with an acetic acid?

Neutralisation. Sodium hydroxide + Acetic Acid = Sodium Acetate + Water. NaOH + CH3COOH = CH3COONa + H2O NB THe modern IUPAC name for Acetic Acid is Ethanoic Acid/Sodium Ethanoate.


What is formed when ammonia and acetic acid is mixed?

When ammonia and acetic acid are mixed, the result is the formation of the ammonium acetate salt. Ammonium acetate is a white crystalline solid that is often used in organic chemistry reactions and as a buffer solution.


What type of salt will acetic acid produce?

O No! I can't go on the slay ride with MOTHER GOOSE!


What can be mixed in solution with H2CO3 to make a buffer?

A weak acid or its conjugate base can be mixed in solution with H2CO3 to make a buffer. Suitable options could be sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) or a weak acid like acetic acid (CH3COOH).


Is adding salt and vinegar to water a chemical reaction can you take back the salt and vinegar once you have mixed it with water and made a crystal out of it?

- Salt (sodium chloride) react with vinegar (acetic acid) forming sodium acetate. - No.


Why does a mixture of acetic acid and sodium bicarbonate release carbon dioxide?

When acetic acid (vinegar) is mixed with sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), a chemical reaction occurs. Acetic acid reacts with sodium bicarbonate to form water, sodium acetate, and carbon dioxide gas. The carbon dioxide gas is released as bubbles, creating the fizzing effect that is commonly observed.

Is sodium acetate dangerous when mixed with sugar?

No, but it changes the taste of sugar.


Why does vinegar blow up when you add baking soda?

The neutralization reaction between the sodium bicarbonate which is the baking soda and the acetic acid in the vinegar results in water and sodium acetate. Sodium acetate is a salt that is rather soluble in water, so it dissolves to form a clear solution.


If you mix sodium bromide and silver acetate what will this create?

The acetate would combine with the bromide, leaving the silver in the sodium solution. With the sliver you could blow up the world Alas not so exciting. Mixed as solids, nothing would happen. Silver acetate has limited solubility in water, but if a solution were mixed with sodium bromide, you would probably see some off-white silver bromide precipitate.


What is the formula when sodium acetate is mixed with sodium chloride?

CH3COONa + NaCl --------2 Na+ + Cl- + (CH3COO)-


Mix dilute acetic acid with sodium bicarbonate?

Mixing the two will yield sodium acetate and carbonic acid. In its pure form, devoid of water, acetic acid is very stable and very corrosive but in a water solution such as vinegar, it becomes less stable and breaks down releasing water in liquid form and carbon dioxide in a gaseous form.
