Question

Write three different chemical reactions showing the conversion of ethanoic acid to sodium ethanoate. Write balanced chemical equation in each case. Write the name of the reactants and the products other than ethanoic acid and sodium ethanoate in each case

Answer 1

(i). CH3COOH + NaOH → CH3COONa + H2O 

Reactants -CH3COOHand 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
