Solution

(i). $C H_{3} C O O H + N a O H ⟶ C H_{3} C O O N a + H_{2} O$

Reactants - NaOH. Product - $H_{2} O$

(ii). $C H_{3} C O O H + N a H C O_{3} ⟶ C H_{3} C O O N a + H_{2} O + C O_{2}$

Reactant - $N a H C O_{3}$ Product - $H_{2} O + C O_{2}$

(iii) $2 C H_{3} C O O H + N a_{2} C O_{3} ⟶ 2 C H_{3} C O O N a + C O_{2} + H_{2} O$

Reactant - $N a_{2} C O_{3}$ product - $H_{2} O + C O_{2}$

Yes sodium metal can also be reacted with acetic acid to form sodium ethanoate and hydrogen gas:
$2 C H_{3} C O O H + 2 N a ⟶ 2 C H_{3} C O O N a + H_{2}$
