Question

write 3 different chemical reactions showing the conversion of ethanoic acid to sodium acetate

Answer 1

Hey there!


i). CH3COOH + NaOH → CH3COONa + H2O 

Reactants - CH3COOH and NaOH. Product - CH3COONa ​ + H2O 

(ii). CH3COOH + NaHCO3 →​CH3COONa + H2O + CO2 

Reactant -CH3COOH​ and NaHCO3. Product - CH3COOHNa, H2O and CO2 

(iii) 2 CH3COOH + Na2CO3 → 2 CH3COONa + CO2 + H2O

Reactant - CH3COOH​ and Na2CO3. product - CH3COONa​, H2O  and CO2

Yes sodium metal can also be reacted with acetic acid to form sodium ethanoate and hydrogen gas:
2 Na + 2 CH3COOH --> H2 + 2 CH3COONa

Hope it helped!☺️
