Professor Name Paper Date If the amount of Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate reacting with Vinegar is increased, the amount of Carbon (IV) Oxide produced also increases. Reaction between Acetic acid (Vinegar) and Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate is a decomposition reaction where the Carbonate is broken down by the acid to yield a salt ,water and Carbon (IV)Oxide as shown in the equation below: 2838450723900023145757239000 C2H4O2 + NaHCO3 NaC2H3O2 + H2O + CO2 An experiment for the above reaction was carried out whereby 50mls of Acetic Acid reacted with 0.25g, 0.5g,0.75g,1g and 1.25g of the Carbonate respectively. A balloon was fixed at the mouth of the test tube which became inflated as Carbon (IV) Oxide gas was produced from the reaction. Results showed that the inflation increased as the amount of the Carbonate increased i.e. the reaction between 1.25g of the Carbonate with the 50mls of Acetic acid produced the largest volume of the gas. This is because increasing the amount of the Carbonate increases the number of moles reacting. Law of conservation of mass requires that all atoms that enter into a reaction as reactants must exit as products. CONCLUSION The volume of Carbon (IV) Oxide produced therefore is directly proportional to the amount of the Carbonate used in the experiment.(“ … the components; or to determine the equilibrium composition of a chemically reacting system …relating to biochemical processing, safety, and the distribution of chemicals in
