What Is Equation Of Acetic Acid And Sodium Bicarbonate?

Acetic acid reacts with sodium bicarbonate to form sodium acetate and carbonic acid. The balance ionic equation for the reaction is;

CH3COOH + NaHCO3 ------> CH3COONa + H2CO3

Carbonic acid decomposes into carbon dioxide and water.

H₂CO₃ ------> H₂O + CO₂

So, the net ionic reaction is;

CH₃COOH + NaHCO₃ ------> CH₃COONa + H₂O + CO₂

One mole of acetic acid combined with one mole of sodium bicarbonate to yield one mole of sodium acetate, one mole of water and one mole of carbon dioxide.
