(class 10 CBSE SAMPLE PAPER 2017-18 SCIENCE)

Answer 1

Solution:
Conversion of ethanoic acid to sodium ethanoate

1.Reaction with sodium carbonate:
Ethanoic acid reacts with sodium carbonate to form Sodium ethanoate and carbon dioxide gas.

2CH3COOH + Na2CO3 -----> 2CH3COONa+ CO2 +H2O.

2. Reaction with sodium hydrogencarbonate:
Ethanoic acid reacts with sodium hydrogen carbonate to evolve brisk effervescence of carbon dioxide gas.
CH3COOH + NaHCO3 -----> CH3COONa +CO2 +H2O.


3. Reaction with sodium hydroxide:
Ethanoic acid reacts with Sodium Hydroxide to form a salt of sodium ethanoate and water.

CH3COOH + NaOH -----> CH3COONa + H2O.
