PLS HELP ASAP When baking soda (NaHCO3) and vinegar (HC2H3O2) react, one of the products is carbonic acid (H2CO3). Carbonic acid rapidly decomposes into carbon dioxide gas (CO2) and water (H2O), which are two of the compounds found in volcanic gas. In this experiment, you’ll measure how these gases alter temperature. Before starting the experiment, predict how you think the presence of CO2 and H2O will affect temperature. Explain your reasoning.

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
