Identification:

Salt X – Sodium Ethanoate

Gas – Carbon-di-oxide.

Reaction Involved:

CH3COOH+NaHCO3 → CH3COONA+H2O+CO2

Activity Involved:

  1. Experiment set up.

2. In a test-tube and take spoon full of sodium hydrogen carbonate and add 2ml of dilute ethanoic acid.

3. The effect of brisk effervescence occurs.

4. Introducing the obtained gas into lime water.

5. Evolution of CO2 is confirmed by the lime water turning milky.
