Question

differentiate between ethanol and ethanoic acid on the basis of reaction with sodium hydrogen carbonate

Answer 1

Ethanol doesn't react with Sodium Hydrogen carbonate (baking soda).

However, Ethanoic Acid reacts with Baking Soda in the following way:

CH3COOH + NaHCO3 => CH3COONa + H2O + CO2

Answer 2

Ethanol:1.ethanol reacts with sodium to form sodium ethoxide and hydrogen.
2.Ethanol does not give brisk effervescence with sodium hydrogencarbonate(NaHCO3).
3.ethanol is neutral towards pH as it does not furnish any hydrogen ions.
Ethanoic acid:1.ethanoic acid reacts with metal to form metal ethanoates and hydrogen.
2.Ethanoic acid gives brisk effervescence with sodium hydrogencarbonate.
3.ethanoic acid shows acidic behaviour although it is a weak acid.
Hope it helps.
