Verified By Collegedunia
Solution and Explanation
1) Neutralization with Bases (forms salt + water)
\[ \mathrm{CH_3COOH + NaOH \;\longrightarrow\; CH_3COONa + H_2O} \]
2) Reaction with Carbonates/Bicarbonates (effervescence of CO\(_2\))
\[ \mathrm{2\,CH_3COOH + Na_2CO_3 \;\longrightarrow\; 2\,CH_3COONa + H_2O + CO_2 \uparrow} \] \[ \mathrm{CH_3COOH + NaHCO_3 \;\longrightarrow\; CH_3COONa + H_2O + CO_2 \uparrow} \]

- More than three million carbon compounds have been discovered in the field of chemistry. The diversity of these compounds is due to the capacity of carbon atoms for bonding with one another as well as with other atoms. Most of the carbon compounds are poor conductors of electricity and have low melting and boiling points.
