What is the balanced equation of HC2H3O2 and NaHCO3?

Answer 1

Above 60 °C, it gradually decomposes into sodium carbonate, water and carbon dioxide.

2NaHCO3 → Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2

Further heating converts the carbonate into the oxide:

Na2CO3 → Na2O + CO2

Answer 2

NaHCO3 is amphoteric compound ie it will react with both strong acid and alkali. It is slightly soluble in water and the solution acts as basic buffer rather than alkaline solution. Such solution will have excess of OH- ions and therefore solution will be pH little higher than 7. It is due to this basic buffer action of NaHCO3 blood plasma in human maintain a pH of ~7.4.

Answer 3

Balanced equation:

2 NaHCO3 + H2SO4 = Na2SO4 + 2 H2O + 2 CO2

Answer 4

Examples of balanced chemical equations for sodium bicarbonate would be:

Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2 ---> 2NaHCO3,

or NaHCO3 + HCl → NaCl + H2CO3.

Answer 5

ref. H2O, NH4+, HCO3-

Answer 6

NaHCO3 + HC2H3O2 = NaC2H3O2 +H2O+CO2
