Reaction of etanioic acid with carbonates

Calcium carbonate produces a weak chemical reaction with vinegar, which is an acetic acid, by releasing carbon dioxide. A simple experiment that demonstrates the reaction is to soak an egg, which has a calcium carbonate shell, in vinegar, which completely dissolves the shell in a matter of days.

This is my best guess :)

If you pour some dilute ethanoic acid onto some white sodium carbonate or sodium hydrogencarbonate crystals, there is an immediate fizzing as carbon dioxide is produced. You end up with a colourless solution of sodium ethanoate.


Na2 CO3 + 2 CH3COOH → 2 CH3COONa + CO2 + H2O

Both reactants have to dissocciate first in water, their ions then interchange species.

Here the 2 Cations Na+ leave the molecule of Carbonate, are attracted by the negative charge of acetate and bond to it.

The H+ is attracted by the CO3- - and molecule of water is formed, a molecule of CO2 gas is created and tends to join with others to form CO2 bubbles within the solution to flee it thru its surface.


hope helps ☺☺
