Sodium acetate is a salt of acetic acid, which is a weak acid. HCl being a strong acid willdisplace it from its salt, forming sodiumchloride and acetic acid: CH3COONa + HCl = CH3COOH + NaCl. It will depend on the quantities of sodium acetate and hydrochloric acid added, and the final concentrations of the products.
