@NurdChaos :) No problem. No mistake is ever stupid, it's just a case of not being aware.
-
@WasabiHapper Ha, you don't even know how stupid I feel right now... I was thinking of calcium acetate, calcium is a substitute for sodium.... sorry for being such an idiot...
-
@NurdChaos What??? No, that just doesn't make sense at all. Sodium is an element itself. It's not created by some kind of reaction between other types of elements and/or molecules consisting of other elements. You'd need sodiumhydrogencarbonate to get sodium ions.
-
@WasabiHapper Wehn the calcium reacts with the calcium Bicarbonate it makes sodium
-
@NurdChaos Ah, Ok, so where do you reckon the sodium comes from? As the name already shows, its got something to do with sodium (soda). Google it.
Or wasnt that what you meant?
thnx for the info btw, didnt know about the hydration.
-
@WasabiHapper Actually no, When the vinegar and the Baking soda (Calcium Bicarbonate) mix, it makes sodium acetate trihydrate... When you boil it down it make the supersaturated sodium acetate trihydrate
-
@NurdChaos I think you mean vinegar and sodiumcarbonate (molecular formula: Na2CO3 with the indexs being subscripts). Its the Sodium and Acetate in the supersaturated solution that crystalize when they can come accross and attach to an impurity or another crystal.
@Jperales96 Yes, you can reuse it. Just dissolve it again. However, do make sure to do it on a high temperature and make the solution saturated at that high temperature. When the solution is cooled down, you can do the same trick

@rotarnah You can eat it.... It's vinegar and calcium Bicarbonate
-
