Vinegar & Baking Soda

PH Scale

This is a scale used to measure the level of the acidity of a solution.

when an acid & base is combined the result will come to 7 which means that it is a neutral reaction.

sodium bicarbonate+acetic acid→carbon dioxide+water+sodium+acetate NaHCO3 + HC2H3O2 → NaC2H3O2 + H2O + CO2

Products: carbon dioxide + water + sodium ion + acetate ion

Compound+Compound → Product+Product

AB+CD → AD+CB

This reaction has 2 parts. When the vinegar touches the baking soda it is a single displacement reaction. After bubbles start to form it then turns into a decomposition reaction(H2CO3 → H2O + CO2)

Neutralization Reaction / Double Displacement Reaction

A neutralization reaction is when an acid and a base combine to form a reaction.

Right after vinegar is dropped into baking soda you will start to see the mixture foam up and hear fizz.

The mixture will start to bubble up because carbon dioxide gas is released.

neutralization reactions are known for producing oxygen, salt and water.

Chemical Property

Gives off heat

Gives off light

All of these examples combined shows if a chemical reaction has a curd.

Irreversible

How do we use this in our everyday life?

Unclogging Drain

When vinegar & baking soda are combined, a process occurs in which molecules are exchanged, resulting in carbon dioxide and water bubbling through the clog, breaking it up and releasing loose particles.
