Result: Effervescence/Fizzing/Bubbles are produced that will ignite with a pop with a lighted taper

New cards

What gas is produced when magnesium is added to ethanoic acid?

Hydrogen gas – only hydrogen gas ignites with a pop

New cards

Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction of ethanoic acid with magnesium

2CH₃COOH+ Mg → (CH₃COO)₂Mg + H₂

Ethanoic acid + magnesium → magnesium ethanoate + hyrdogen

Acid + metal → salt + hydrogen

New cards

Name the organic product formed in this reaction

Magnesium ethanoate - (CH₃COO)₂Mg
