Analyze a Chemical Reaction
In this task, you’ll determine whether a reaction between baking soda and citric acid is an endothermic reaction and whether it can be used in a cold pack.
Estimated time to complete: 15 minutes
Use this information to answer the questions that follow:
To begin the experiment, Xavier washed his hands and put on safety goggles. He then measured 120 milliliters of tap water, 2.5 milliliters of baking soda, and 2.5 milliliters of citric acid. The initial temperature of the water was 23.5°C.
Next Xavier added the baking soda and citric acid to the water. The mixture immediately began to bubble vigorously, which lasted for about 30 seconds. The new temperature of the mixture was 17.7°C.
Part A
Is a chemical reaction taking place during Xavier’s experiment? How do you know?

Explanation:
In saturated hydrocarbons (-CH₂-) the central atom (carbon) is bonded to either three or two hydrogen atoms and one or two carbon atoms. So, the central atom is having four electron pairs and all pairs are bonding pairs and lacks any lone pair of electron. According to Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) Theory the central atom with four bonding pair electrons and zero lone pair electrons will attain a tetrahedral geometry with bond angles of 109°.
