Question

Name the gas evolved when ethanoic acid is added to sodium carbonate how would you prove the presence of this gas also give chemical equations

Answer 1

Ethanoic acid react with sodium carbonate to form sodium ethanoate and carbon dioxide gas :

CH3COOH + Na2CO3 -----> CH3COONs + CO2 + H2O

Answer 2

Explanation:

The gas liberated is carbondi oxide

Equation is

CH3COOH + NAHCO3 -- GIVES CH3COONA + CO2 + H20
