Question

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST IF THE ANSWER IS CORRECT
Vinegar and baking soda react to form sodium acetate (NaC2H3O2), water (H2O), and carbon dioxide (CO2).
? NaC2H3O2 + H2O + CO2
How many total sodium (Na) atoms are expected in these reactants?
A. 0
B. 1
C. 2
D. 3

Answer 1

There are no lithium atoms present in either the reactants or the products of this reaction.

As you stated, the reaction of vinegar (acetic acid) and baking soda (sodium hydrogen carbonate) produces sodium acetate, water and carbon dioxide according to the equation:

[C_2H_4O_2 + NaHCO_3 -> NaC_2H_3O_2 + CO_2 + H_2O]
