Properties of Ethanoic acid...

1. When dissolved in water, acetic acid undergoes dissociation to form hydrogen (H+) ion. Because of the release of a proton, acetic acid has an acidic character.

2. It turns blue litmus paper red, indicating that it is acidic in nature. However, it is a weak acid because it does not dissociate completely in aqueous solution.

3. Reaction with sodium bicarbonateAcetic acid reacts with sodium bicarbonate to produce carbon dioxide.

4. On passing CO2 gas through lime water, the lime water turns milky. The milky appearance of lime water is due to the formation of solid calcium carbonate (CaCO3).
