In the reaction of sodium carbonate with ethanoic acid, which gas is produced in this reaction?
Name the gas evolved when ethanoic acid is added to sodium carbonate. How would you prove the presence of this gas ?
In a reaction, 5.3 g of sodium carbonate reacted with 6 g of ethanoic acid. The products were 2.2 g of carbon dioxide, 0.9 g water and 8.2 g of sodium ethanoate. Show that these observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.
Sodium carbonate + ethanoic acid → sodium ethanoate + carbon dioxide + water
