1. two types of reaction occur when baking soda and vinegar combine. the first is a double replacement reaction. write a balanced

Two types of reactions occur when baking soda and vinegar combine. The first reaction is a double replacement reaction. Please write a balanced equation for this reaction and ensure both equations are balanced. The initial reaction can be represented as: NaHCO₃ + HC₂H₃O₂ → C₂H₃O₂Na + H₂O + CO₂.

What type of reaction do you think the second reaction is? Please explain your reasoning.

1NaHCO3 + 1HC2H3O2 → 1Na(C2H3O2) + 1H2CO3First reaction is balanced, there is no need to write coefficient 1 in front of molecule.1H2CO3 → 1H2O + 1CO2Second reaction is also balanced. This type of reaction is calling chemical decomposition or analysis, because one molecule separats into its two simpler compounds.

1) Balanced chemical reaction: 1Na(HCO₃) + 1H(C2H₃O₂) → 1Na(C₂H₃O₂) + 1H₂CO₃.Double replacement reactions (double displacement or metathesis reactions), two ionic compounds are exchanged, making two new compounds. 2) Balanced chemical reaction: 1H₂CO₃ → 1CO₂ + 1H₂O. H₂CO₃ is carbonic acid.CO₂ is carbon (IV) oxide or carbon dioxide.Chemical decomposition is the separation of a single chemical compound (in this example carbonic acid) into its two or more simpler compounds (in this example water and carbon dioxide).
The chemical equation for the Vinegar & Baking Soda reaction is:NaHCO3(s) + CH3COOH(l) → CO2(g) + H2O(l) + Na+(aq) + CH3COO-(aq)with s = solid, l = liquid, g = gas, aq = aqueous or in water solutionAnother reaction is:NaHCO3 + HC2H3O2 → NaC2H3O2 + H2O + CO2The chemical reaction actually occurs in two steps.First, there is double displacement reaction in which acetic acid in vinegar reacts with sodium bicarbonate to form sodium acetate and carbonic acid:NaHCO3 + HC2H3O2 → NaC2H3O2 + H2CO3Then,Carbonic acid is unstable and undergoes a decomposition reaction to produce the carbon dioxide gas:H2CO3 → H2O + CO2
