Answer:
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) reacts with acetic acid (CH 3
COOH) to form sodium acetate (CH 3 COONa) and water (H 2
O).
The equation for this reaction can be written as :
NaOH+CH 3
COOH→CH 3
COONa+H 2
O
It is a double displacement reaction as both the reactants exchange ions to form new products.
Also it is a neutralization reaction as the base (NaOH) reacts with an acid (CH 3
COOH) to form salt (CH 3
COONa) and water (H 2
O).

neutralization reaction
