alleryIdentify the product of the reaction of ethanoic acid with sodium hydroxide:
AEthanol + sodium oxide
BSodium ethoxide + hydrogen
CSodium ethanoate + water
DEthyl acetate + water
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Sodium ethanoate + water
1. Ethanoic acid is a weak acid; sodium hydroxide is a strong base.
2. Acid + base gives a salt and water as the neutralisation products.
3. CH3COOH + NaOH -> CH3COONa + H2O.
4. The salt is sodium ethanoate (sodium acetate).
5. So the products are sodium ethanoate and water.
