Write chemical equation of the reaction of ethanoic acid with sodium hydroxide.
Ethanoic acid is commonly known as acetic acid. The balanced chemical reaction between ethanoic acid and sodium metal is shown below.
$$ CH_{3}COOH + NaOH\rightarrow \underset{sodium \ ethanoate}{CH_{3}COONa}+H_{2}O $$
Here, ethanoic acid reacts with base sodium hydroxide to form sodium ethanoate salt and water.
