In this reaction, is CH3COOH is the ______ and NaHCO3 is the ______ (proctor donor/proctor acceptor)

Question

CH₃COOH_(aq) + NaHCO_3(aq)  ---> CH₃COO^–_(aq)   +   H₂CO_3(aq)   

Which of these two reactants is the source of the carbon and oxygen in the CO₂ produced in step 2 of the reaction?

Answer 1

CH3COOH is the proton donor.

NaHCO3 is the proton acceptor

The source of the C and O in CO₂ is H₂CO₃ which ultimately came from NaHCO₃
