Someone plz ans this question
Q.23. In an experiment to study the properties of acetic acid, answer the following questions.
(i) What happens when ethanoic acid reacts with sodium metal? Give a balanced chemical equation also.
(ii) What happens when the brisk effervescence of gas is passed through lighted splinter?
Dear student,
(i) Ethanoic acid on treatment with Na metal produces Sodium ethanoate and releases hydrogen gas
2CH3COOH +2 Na------>2 CH3COONa + H2
(ii) CO2 is a non commbustible gas hence when a light splinter is brought in contact with CO2 it extinguishes.(i) Ethanoic acid on treatment with Na metal produces Sodium ethanoate and releases hydrogen gas
2CH3COOH +2 Na------>2 CH3COONa + H2
Hope it helps
