Answer:

Ethanoic acid reacts with ammonia in exactly the same way as any other acid does. It transfers a hydrogen ion to the lone pair on the nitrogen of the ammonia and forms an ammonium ion. If you mix together a solution of ethanoic acid and a solution of ammonia, you will get a colourless solution of ammonium ethanoate.
