NaHCO3(s)+HC2H3O2(aq) — NaC2H3O2(aq) +H2O(l) +CO2

NaHCO3(s)+HC2H3O2(aq) — NaC2H3O2(aq) +H2O(l) +CO2(g) A student designs an experiment to study the reaction between NaHCO3, and HC₂H3O₂. The reaction is represented by the equation above. The student places 1.26 g of NaHCO3 in a flask and adds 60.0 mL of 0.875 M HC₂H₂O₂. The student observes the formation of bubbles and that the flask gets cooler as the reaction proceeds. a. Identify the reaction represented above as an acid-base reaction, precipitation reaction, or redox reaction. Justify your answer.
