The products of the reaction between ethanoic acid and carbonates and hydrogen carbonates are:
-
A.
sodium acetate, carbon monoxide and water
-
B.
sodium acetate, carbon dioxide and water
-
C.
sodium acetate, carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas
-
D.
ethanol, carbon dioxide and water
Correct Answer:
B. sodium acetate, carbon dioxide and water
Explanation:
When ethanoic acid reacts with carbonates or hydrogen carbonates (bicarbonates), it undergoes an acid-base reaction. This chemical process typically produces a salt, carbon dioxide gas, and water. Specifically, the ethanoic acid reacts with a sodium-based carbonate (like sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate) to form sodium acetate as the salt, while the release of carbon dioxide is often observed as effervescence. Therefore, the resulting products of this reaction are sodium acetate, carbon dioxide, and water.
