Question

sodium hydroxide solution is treated with acetic acid to form sodium acetate and water? Form and balance the equation ?

Answer 1

The skeletal equation for the said reaction is as follows

NaOH (aq) + CH₃COOH (aq) → CH₃COONa (aq) + H₂O (l)

In the above equation, the number of atoms of all the elements are equal on both the sides. So, the above equation is already balanced.
