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.
