Answer to Question #168429 in Physical Chemistry for Ike

Question

The concentration of vinigar (acetic acid) is .8393 M. When it reacts with baking soda (NaHCO3), it creates sodium acetate, water, and of course carbon dioxide. What volume of CO2 is produced if 500. mL of vinegar reacts with 32.5 g of baking soda at 25 deg C and 1.0 atmospheres of pressure?

Answer 1

When baking soda is mixed with vinegar, something new is formed. The mixture quickly foams up with carbon dioxide gas. If enough vinegar is used, all of the baking soda can be made to react and disappear into the vinegar solution. ... Sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid reacts to carbon dioxide, water and sodium acetate.
