Question

What is ethanoic acid write the formula for the functional group present in this acid what special name is given to its 5 to 8% solution in water how does ethanoic acid reacts with sodium carbonate write a calcium equation of the chemical equation of the reaction and common name of salt produced?

Answer 1

it is a weak acid containing functional group
(-ooH) .
CH3Cooh+na2co3=CH3Coona+CO2 +naoh
and it's salt name is sodium acetate

Answer 2

Answer: Functional group present in ethanoic acid is carboxylic group with chemical formula of (-COOH).

Explanation:

• Ethanoic acid is an organic acid composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms.

• Its chemical formula is written as  $CH_3COOH$

• Functional group present in ethanoic acid is carboxylic group with chemical formula of (-COOH).

• 5 to 8% of ethanoic acid  solution in water is named Vinegar.

• Chemical reaction between ethanoic acid reacts with sodium is to give water soluble salt of sodium ethanoate and carbon dioxide gas.

$2CH_3COOH(aq)+Na_2CO_3\rightarrow 2CH_3COONa(aq)+ H_2O(aq)+CO_2(g)$
