Question

Ethanoic acid reacts with carbonates

What would u see during this reaction?
Write down a balanced equation for the reaction with sodium?

Answer 1

Ethanoic acid react with sodium carbonate and form Sodium acetate, carbon dioxide and water. Ethanoic acid, more commonly known as acetic acid or vinegar (for you non-chemists) reacts with sodium carbonate to form sodium acetate (CH3COONa), water and carbon dioxide.

Answer 2

Ethanoic acid reacts with metal carbonate like sodium carbonate to give Salt and water

2CH3COOH + Na2CO3 = 2CH3COONa + H2O + CO2

Hope this would help you
