What is the basicity of the acid in the following reaction? Na2CO3 + 2CH3COOH → 2CH3COONa + H2O + CO2
Answers
Answer:
2 CH3COOH (aq) + Na2CO3 (aq) → 2 CH3COONa (aq) + CO2 (g) + H2O (l)
This is an acid-base reaction (neutralization): CH3COOH is an acid, Na2CO3 is a base.
This is a gas evolution reaction, CO2 is the formed gas.
