How would you identify that the gas coming out of reaction between vinegar and baking soda is carbon dioxide?
Answers
Answer:
In the baking soda and vinegar reaction, the new substances created are carbon dioxide gas, water, and something called sodium acetate. Carbon dioxide gas was inside the bubbles you saw. The detergent did not change in the reaction.
Answer:
You can identify that the gas coming out of the reaction between vinegar and baking soda is by keeping the glass in a 'pouring' position near a candle. Carbon dioxide being heavier than air (~1.67 times heavier) can be poured. If the candle gets extinguished, the gas is Carbon dioxide (carbon dioxide is neither combustible nor does it supports combustion).
Alternate way:-
Connect a delivery tube to the container (where the reaction is taking place) and connect the other end of the delivery tube to a test tube containing limewater, if the gas is Carbon dioxide, the limewater will turn turbid or milky.
