Pretty sure it is c...
False, when vinegar and baking soda react, several things happen:
1. Carbon dioxide gas is produced, causing the mixture to bubble and fizz.
2. Water and a salt called sodium acetate are formed.
3. Heat is also released during the reaction.
To determine which of the options does NOT happen when vinegar and baking soda react, we should examine the reaction between vinegar and baking soda.
When vinegar (which contains acetic acid - CH3COOH) and baking soda (sodium bicarbonate - NaHCO3) are mixed together, a chemical reaction occurs. The reaction can be represented by the following equation:
CH3COOH + NaHCO3 → CH3COONa + H2O + CO2
Based on this equation, we can identify the products formed during the reaction:
1. CH3COONa: Sodium acetate, a salt formed from the sodium (Na) in baking soda and the acetate (CH3COO-) in vinegar.
2. H2O: Water, formed from the combination of hydrogen (H) and hydroxide (OH) ions.
3. CO2: Carbon dioxide gas, produced due to the decomposition of bicarbonate (HCO3-) into water and carbon dioxide.
From the reaction, we can conclude that all three products are formed. Therefore, the statement "None of the options" would be the correct answer rather than "true or false".
