what would be the end products be if i reacted vinegar(C2H4O2) with potash(K2CO3) and a gas was given off?
A small misprint there. If you meant acetic acid, best say CH3COOH (you just forgot one of the carbons)HC2H3O2 since it helps you see that it is an acid with that leading H. Some people prefer writting it as CH3OOH aswell.
Yes, of course. I guess you can tell which way I prefer writting it.symbolipoint said:from mrjeffy321: A small misprint there. If you meant acetic acid, best say CH3COOH (you just forgot one of the carbons)
mrjeffy321 said:In the vinegar and baking soda reaction,
HC2H3O2 + NaHCO3 --> H2O + CO2
Except you now want to substitute Potassium Carbonate for the Sodium Bicarbonate. How do you think this will change the reaction?
JGM_14 said:If I don't have all the end products ( where did the sodium go to) I don't know where the potassium will go in the end reaction.
When you burn sugar in oxygen is the ash carbon and the gas water (C6H12O6+heat=6C+6H2O)?
The chemical equation for this reaction is C2H4O2 + K2CO3 → K2C2H3O2 + H2O + CO2.
This is a double replacement reaction, also known as a metathesis reaction.
The purpose of this reaction is to produce potassium acetate (K2C2H3O2), water (H2O), and carbon dioxide (CO2).
This reaction is exothermic, meaning it releases heat energy.
The common name for the product produced in this reaction is potassium acetate, also known as K-Acetate or K-Ac.
