ehsanellahie: its chemical properties ...it has 6 marks

debasmita10: do you need more points?

ehsanellahie: yes chemical reaction bro

debasmita10: Ethanol is a liquid at room temperature with a pleasant odour while ethanoic acid has vinegar-like smell. The melting point of ethanoic acid is 17°C. This is below room temperature and hence, it freezes during winters.

Ethanoic acid reacts with metal carbonates and metal hydrogencarbonates to form salt, water, and carbon dioxide gas while ethanol does not react with them.

debasmita10: Is this ok?

ehsanellahie: thanks for your effort

ehsanellahie: actually i have show its chemical eqn.
