Question

study the odour effect on litmus paper of acetic acid and reaction with sodium bicarbonate​

Answer 1

Answer:

Acetic acid is a monocarboxylic acid because it contains only one "COOH"group. It has a sour taste and pungent smell. It is the main component of vinegar. Vinegar is typically 3-7% solution of acetic acid in water.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Properties of Ethanoic Acid (CH_{3}COOH)

(a) Odour : It has pungent smell

(b) Solubility in water : It is soluble in water due to formation of hydrogen bonding.

(c) Effect on litmus paper

       It turns blue litmus red, indicating that is acidic in nature.

       CH_{3}COOH\right left harpoons CH_{3}COO^{-}+H^{+}

When dissolved in H_{2}O, acetic acid undergoes dissociation to form H^{+}, ion due to release of H^{+},CH_{3}COOH is acidic in nature.

(d) Reaction with sodium hydrogen carbonate

   CH_{3}COOH+NaHCO_{3}\rightarrow CH_{3}COONa +CO_{2}+H_{2}O
