goodyhi11 Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 When I mix vinegar with baking soda, it produce gas. But it also produce salt, I'm confused on how does gas related to salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MulderMan Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 well its a acid-base reaction followed by decomposition. CH3COOH + NaHCO3 ---> CH3COONa + H2CO3 the H2CO3 then quickly decomposes into carbon dioxide and water, the CO2 is what you see bubbling. the salt would be sodium acetate, as the acid in vinegar is acetic acid.
