A rule of thumb in baking is that 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda is neutralized by one cup of sour milk. the acid component in sour milk is lactic acid, ch3ch(oh)cooh. write the ionic equation for this neutralization reaction.

Answer : The ionic equation will be:

Explanation :

Neutralization reaction : It is a type of chemical reaction in which an acid react with a base to give salt and water as a product that means it reacts to give a neutral solution.

When baking soda (sodium hydrogen carbonate) base react with lactic acid then it react to gives sodium lactate, carbon dioxide and water as a product.

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

The ionic equation will be:

they are both synthetic elements

explanation:
