Question

Does baking soda and vinegar have a complete ionic equation?
HC2H3O2 (aq) + NaHCO3 ===> NaC2H3O2(aq) + H2CO3(aq)----->H2O(l)+CO2(g)+2H2O(l)

Answer 1

The ionic equation is
HC2H3O2 + Na^+ + HCO3^- ==> H2O + CO2 + Na^+ + C2H3O2^-

To fine the NET ionic equation, just cancel the Na^+ on the left and right sides. What is left is the net ionic equation.
HC2H3O2 + HCO3^- ==> H2O + CO2 + C2H3O2^-
