Question

Write any 3 different reactions for preparation of sodium ethanoate. Provide chemical equation. ​

Answer 1

(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

Answer 2

one CH3COOH+2NaHCO=CH3COONa+H2O+CO2

TWO CH3COOH+Na2CO3=CH3COONa+H2O+CO2

THREE CH3COOH+NAOH=CH3COONA+H20
