Question:
A salt X is formed and a gas is evolved when ethanoic acid reacts with sodium hydrogen carbonate. Name the salt X and the gas evolved. Describe an
activity and draw the diagram of the apparatus to prove that the evolved gas is the one which you have named. Also, write chemical equation of the
reaction involved.
Solution:
The salt X formed in the reaction is sodium ethanoate. The gas evolved is carbon dioxide gas. For the activity and chemical reaction,
