What type of reaction is listed below? Prove that it is balanced by listing the number of elements on both side of the equation (reactants vs. products)? CH 3 COOH + NaHCO 3  NaCH 3 COO + H 2 CO 3

Question

2. What type of reaction occurred with H 2 CO 3 from the above equation in the reaction below? CH 3 COOH + NaHCO 3  NaCH 3 COO + H 2 O + CO 2

Answer 1

2. It is a double displacement reaction. Some may call it an acid/base reaction, also, but I think you want the first one.
3. H2CO3 ==> H2O + CO2 is decomposition reaction.
