Solution
- Balanced equation of the reaction between acetic acid and sodium carbonate is as follows:
\[\ce{\underset{\text{Acetic acid}}{2CH3COOH_{(aq)}} + \underset{\text{carbonate}}{\underset{\text{Sodium}}{Na2CO_{3(s)}}} -> \underset{\text{ethanoate}}{\underset{\text{Sodium}}{2CH3COONa_{(aq)}}} + \underset{\text{Water}}{H2O_{(l)}} + \underset{\text{Carbon dioxide}}{CO2\uparrow}}\] - The gas formed in the large test tube is carbon dioxide (CO2) gas.
- The carbon dioxide gas produced in big test tube passes through bent gas delivery tube to the small test tube containing lime water. Hence, bubbles are seen in the small test tube.
- Lime water turns milky.
