  1. Felisa Zen What Amount of Baking Soda Reacted With 10mL of Vinegar Produces the Greatest Volume of Carbon Dioxide?

  2. Aim • To find out what mass of baking soda reacted with 10mL of vinegar will produce the greatest volume of carbon dioxide in a 100mL eudiometer tube

  3. Background information • Baking soda is a base scientifically known as sodium bicarbonate • NaHCO3 • Vinegar is dilute acetic acid • CH3COOH • When sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid are reacted, they produce a double displacement acid-base reaction

  4. Chemical Equation • NaCH3COO is a salt known as sodium acetate • H2CO3 is an unstable carbonic acid which quickly decomposes and breaks down into H2O and CO2 • Therefore, after the decomposition, the reaction would look like this: NaHCO3(aq) + CH3COOH(aq) NaCH3COO(aq) + H2CO3(aq) NaHCO3(aq) + CH3COOH(aq) NaCH3COO(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

  5. What actually happens? • The acetic acid reacts with the basic sodium bicarbonate  carbonic acid • Carbonic acid  carbon dioxide and water • “eruption” (foaming, bubbling, fizzing, crackling) from CO2 escaping the reacted solution • Only component left in the container: • dilute solution of sodium acetate in water • NaCH3COO

  6. Hypothesis After Calculations • 10mL of acetic acid • v = 0.010L • c = 0.5M • n = 0.005moles NaHCO3(aq) + CH3COOH(aq)  NaCH3COO(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g) • Sodium bicarbonate • n = 0.005moles (same number of moles as acetic acid) • M = 23+1+12+(3)16 = 84g mol-1 • m = 0.42g This should be the mass of sodium bicarbonate needed to react with 10mL of acetic acidto produce the greatest volume of carbon dioxide

  9. Graph 1: Volume of CO2 (mL) Produced by the Reaction Between Baking Soda (NaHCO3) and Vinegar (CH3COOH)

  10. Processing Data • n=m/M • Calculations for moles of NaHCO3 • Trial 1: 4.039/84 = 0.04808mol • Trial 2: 3.028/84 = 0.03605mol • Trial 3: 2.062/84 = 0.02455mol • Trial 4: 1.050/84 = 0.01250mol • Trial 5: 0.520/84 = 0.00619mol • Trial 6: 0.437/84 = 0.00520mol • Trial 7: 0.350/84 = 0.00417mol • Calculations for moles of CH3COOH • All Trials: 10.00/60 = 0.1667mol

  11. Graph 2: Comparing Ratios Between Different Moles of Baking Soda Based on Its Mass to Moles of Vinegar

  12. Sample Calculations of Errors and Uncertainties for the Reaction Between 0.520g of NaHCO3 and 10mL of CH3COOH • Percent Uncertainty • (0.001/0.520)*100 = 19.23% • (0.1/95.6)*100 = 10.46% • 19.23+10.46 = 29.69% ≈ 30% • Percent Error • Experimental value • 95.6mL of CO2 • Theoretical value • 1mole = 24.5L • 0.00619mole = 0.152L • 0.152L = 152mL • ((152-95.6)/152)*100 = 37.11% ≈ 37%

  13. Conclusion • Increasing trend line: suggests that masses of baking soda below 0.5g increases rapidly in carbon dioxide production until it reaches 0.5g • Decreasing trend line: suggests that from the highest point of carbon dioxide production (with 0.5g of baking soda) onwards, the production of carbon dioxide from the reaction into the eudiometer tube decreases steadily as the mass of baking soda is increased • Theoretical calculations under “Processing Data” indicate that the results of the experiment support the calculated and compared molar ratios of baking soda to vinegar, however, the pattern in the production of carbon dioxide from the reaction between baking soda and vinegar is flipped when graphed for the ratios of different masses of baking soda to vinegar. This signifies that the greater the molar ratio of baking soda to vinegar, the lower the production of carbon dioxide during the reaction between baking soda and vinegar will be

  14. Evaluations • Accuracy and precision in measurements of baking soda and vinegar • It was difficult to get the accurate mass of baking soda to 3 decimal places through the electronic beam balance • The vinegar was measured using a 25mL graduated cylinder, so the volume of vinegar was estimated merely through judgment of the naked eyes and is not very accurate nor precise • The surface area of baking soda was not controlled • There was a delay in the capturing of gas into the eudiometer tube • As the quantity of baking soda decreased, it got progressively trickier to simultaneously mind the pouring of the entire quantity of baking soda into the conical flask while minding the escape of gas released by the already started reaction of baking soda to vinegar as the baking soda meets the vinegar through contact little by little before the bung is attached to the flask, which resulted in the spilling of baking soda • By the time the amount of baking soda progressively decreased to a mass below 1.000g, perhaps due to the most reactive point of the reaction between baking soda and vinegar being in the very beginning of the reaction, and with the attachment of the bung to the conical flask being delayed, not all the gas produced by the reaction went into the eudiometer tube (especially in the beginning of the reaction), which may have produced inaccuracy in the recorded volume of carbon dioxide released into the eudiometer tube

  15. Evaluations • In order to keep the surface area of baking soda a control in the experiment, use a spatula or a stirring rod to crush the baking soda into powder completely, leaving absolutely no clumps left • In order to prevent from having too much gas escaping the reaction before the conical flask is connected to the eudiometer tube, have a partner ready to attach the bung into the opening of the conical flask without delay after the respective mass of baking soda is poured into the conical flask with 10mL of vinegar • In order to get a more accurate measurement to keep the volume of vinegar a control in the experiment, use a pipette to measure 10mL of vinegar rather than a 25mL graduated cylinder • In order to get a more accurate measurement of baking soda throughout the experiment, use a spatula to control the three decimal places in the mass of baking soda being weighed on the electronic beam balance by adding or taking out very small amounts of baking soda from the container it is being weighed on
