NaHCO3(s)+HC2H3O2(aq)->NaC2H3O2(aq)+H2O(l)+CO2(g) A student designs an experiment to study the reaction between NaHCO, and HC3H3O2. The reaction is represented by the equation above. The student places 1.26 g of NaHCO, in a flask and adds 60.0 mL of 0.875 M HC,H,O,. 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. b. Based on the information above, identify the limiting reactant. Justify your answer with calculations. c. The student observes that the bubbling is rapid at the beginning of the reaction and gradually slows as the reaction continues. Explain this change in reaction rate in terms of the collisions between reactant particles.
