Open in App
Solution

Part 1:

  1. The reaction of Ethanoic acid with Sodium hydrogen carbonate results in the evolution of Carbon dioxide gas.
  2. The reaction suggests that the Hydrogen present in -COOH a group of Ethanoic acid is acidic in nature.
  3. The reaction is represented as follows:

NaHCO3(aq)Sodiumhydrogencarbonate+CH3COOH(aqEthanoicacid)CH3COONa(aq)Sodiumacetate+H2O(l)+CO2(g)

Part 2:

  1. The reaction of Ethanoic acid with Sodium carbonate results in the evolution of Carbon dioxide gas.
  2. The reaction suggests that the Hydrogen present in -COOH a group of Ethanoic acid is acidic in nature.
  3. The reaction is represented as follows:

Na2CO3(aq)Sodiumcarbonate+2CH3COOH(aq)Ethanoicacid2CH3COONa(aq)SodiumEthanoate+H2O(l)+CO2(g)Carbondioxide
