These and Those Lab

Our last lab was the These guys and those guys. It was the combination of the sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid, otherwise known as baking soda and vinegar. we observed to see how much O2 and H2O we could produce. The chemical reaction is 
NaHCO3+HCH3COOH—>CO2+H2O+NaCH3COO.

We performed multiple attempts during this lab, but I was only present for one of the days. We used a variety amount of baking soda between (.25-4.00 grams) and adding it to two finger width amount of baking soda . We found out that the limiting reactant is the vinegar because of the increase of baking soda. Our experiment results produced to much CO2 and didn't react fully. 

This experiment helped verify stoich relationships and to review limiting reactions. Using the masses obtained from the experiment it is possible to calculate the theoretical number of grams produced and/or lost, therefore verifying the stoich relationships.
