the end product form will be sodium acetate (CH3COONa),CO2 and H2O.

reaction-

NaHCO3    +    CH3COOH ---------------->CH3COONa          +   H2CO3

                                                           Sodium Acetate            Carbonic acid

as H2CO3 is highly unstable so it decomposes into CO2 and H2O.So

NaHCO3     +     CH3COOH----------------->CH3COONa     +   CO2   +   H2O

observation-

==> CO2 comes out with bubbles.

==> It is a neutralization reaction.
