A colourless gas with brisk effervescence is evolved on addition of sodium bicarbonate to acetic acid. Lime water turns milky when this gas is passed through it, thus the evolved gas is carbon dioxide.
Although the addition of sulphuric acid will precipitate lead sulphate, the addition of acetic acid will ensure a complete precipitation of sulphur in the form of lead sulphate due to...
No reaction with distilled water. Chemical reaction occurs with solution of NaHCO3
Two Observations:
(i) Evolution of a colourless, odourless gas.
(ii) The gas is evolved with brisk effervescence
(i) Acetic acid will remain colourless in phenolphthalein. 22.
(ii) Acetic acid will dissolve in distilled water forming a clear solution.
(iii) Universal indicator gives orange colour with acetic acid.
(iv) Sodium hydrogencarbonate...
Acetic acid is colourless liquid.
It is miscible/ soluble in water.
On adding a pinch of sodium hydrogen carbonate,
Brisk effervescence is observed.
Evolution of a colourless/ odourless gas.
(b) Formic acid is stronger than acetic acid due to its chemical composition. Formic acid is an organic acid as well as active acid in an organic acid.
