Question

what type of salt is formed when acetic acid is reacted with sodium hydroxide. why? also write the chemical reaction. Write the chemical reaction that takes place when HCl is used instead of the acid above

Answer 1

Explanation:

Neutralization reactions are the reactions in which acid reacts with base to form salt and water. So Acetic acid (CH3COOH) reacts with Sodium Hydroxide(NaOH) to form Sodium Acetate (CH3COONa) salt and water(H2O).

CH3COOH + NaOH➡CH3COONa+H2O

When HCl is used,

HCl+NaOH➡NaCl+H2O
