Draw Lewis structures for the polyatomic ion "hydrogen carbonate" (bicarbonate) and acetic acid.
Considering that an acid-base neutralization reaction can be thought of as a "proton transfer reaction" wherein the acid is the proton donor and the base is the proton acceptor, which proton in your Lewis structures above is transferred?
Write a balanced molecular equation that describes the reaction of an aqueous solution of acetic acid with solid sodium bicarbonate (include physical states!).
Carbonic acid, H2CO3, is unstable and spontaneously degrades to give H2O(l) and CO2(g). Rewrite your balanced equation from question 3 to reflect these products.
