Why are bubbles formed when acetic acid is added with a solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate

Open in App

Solution

Dear Student
The formula of acetic acid and sodium hydrogen carbonate is CH₃COOH and NaHCO₃.
When they are mixed they react and produce carbon dioxide gas that erupts out as bubbles from the solution
The equation is CH₃COOH + NaHCO₃= CH₃COONa + H₂O + CO₂
