Solution and Explanation

Alternative reactant
- Sodium bicarbonate (\(\text{NaHCO}_3\)) also reacts with acetic acid, producing \(\text{CO}_2\), water, and a salt. - The reaction is: \[ \text{CH}_3\text{COOH} + \text{NaHCO}_3 \rightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{COONa} + \text{CO}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \] - This reaction produces the same gas and effect as sodium carbonate.
