im doing this research project on the zoom website. you can look for it and try to help me.
u think i have to search thigns about physics, but i still need help to find more details.What in the vinegar or baking soda makes the bubble not pop?
Vinegar is acetic acid: CH3COOH
Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate: NaHCO3
Mixing the two is simply and acid base reaction.
CH3COOH + NaHCO3 ---%26gt; CH3COONa + H2CO3
That last product is carbonic acid which quickly decomposes into
carbon dioxide and water:
H2CO3 ---%26gt; H2O + CO2
The CO2 is what you see foaming and bubbling in this reaction.
