when baking soda is added to ethanol then no reaction takes place as ethanol does not react with baking soda because we know that alcohols are neutral.
however etahnoic acid reacts with baking soda forming sodium acetate.
ch3cooh+ nahco3➡ ch3coona + h2o+ co2.

no reaction will take place tho it reacts with carboxylic acid to give CH3COONa +H2O +CO2
