Solution
- The reactants are acetic acid CH3COOH and sodium carbonate Na2CO3.
- The gas produced is carbon dioxide CO2.
- When carbon dioxide gas is passed through lime water, it turns lime water milky or cloudy due to the formation of calcium carbonate. Therefore, the colour change in the limewater would be from clear to milky.
- In the above experiment, instead of sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate can be used to get the same products.
- Acetic acid is widely used in the culinary arts as a key ingredient in vinegar. It is also used industrially as a chemical reagent for the production of chemical compounds, in the manufacture of plastics, and in the food industry as a preservative and flavouring agent.
