Answer:
(i)As we know ethanoic acid is a weak organic acid and when it reacts with sodium metal it results inthe formation of sodium ethanoate or commonly called sodium acetate and the liberation of hydrogen takes place. The product formed from the reaction is enthanote or sodium acetate.
(ii)
- (i) Sodium metal reacts with ethanoic acid to form sodium ethanoate.2CH3COOH + 2Na → 2CH3COONa + H2.
- (ii) Ethanoic acid reacts with Na2CO3 to form sodium ethanoate and CO2 gas is liberated.
(iii) When ethanoic acid reacts with dil. sodium hydroxide it forms water and sodium ethanoate.
