In activity 4, baking soda or sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) is combined with vinegar or acetic acid (HC2H3O2) and undergoes a double displacement reaction. Answer the following question about the reaction:
1. For the double displacement reaction, complete the reaction below by writing the product(s) of the reaction:
• In the first box put the numerical prefix to balance the equation (ex, 1, 2, 3 etc)
• In the second box put the formula of the product (ex, H2O or NH3)
• In the third box, put the state of the product (ex, solid, liquid, gas, or aqueous)
NaHCO3 (s) + HC2H3O2 (aq) --> NaC2H3O2 (aq) +
2. After the displacement reaction, the product in part 1 undergoes a second decomposition reaction which produces gas. Predict the gaseous product for this reaction:
