In order to identify presence of ethanoicacid, they should treat with bases like Sodium hydroxide (NaOH).Formation of salt (sodium acetate) and water confirms the presence of acids. CH₃COOH +  NaOH  → CH₃COONa + H₂O Not only with bases but carbonates and bicarbonates also forms sodium acetate. Reaction of ethanoic acid with ethyl alcohol produces ethyl acetate. Formation of ethyl acetate (ester) indicates sweet smell.     CH₃COOH +  C₂H₅OH →CH₃COOC₂H₅ + H₂O
