Ethanoic acid reacts with sodium hydrogen carbonate to produce a salt 'X' and a gas 'Y'. Identify 'X' and 'Y' and write their chemical names. With the help of a labelled diagram describe an activity to confirm that the gas 'Y' is correctly identified by you. Also write the chemical equation of the reaction involved.

1.	Ethanoic acid reacts with sodium hydrogen carbonate to produce a salt 'X' and a gas 'Y'. Identify 'X' and 'Y' and write their chemical names. With the help of a labelled diagram describe an activity to confirm that the gas 'Y' is correctly identified by you. Also write the chemical equation of the reaction involved.
Answer» SOLUTION :`X : CH_(3)COONa`, Sodium ethanoate, `Y : CO_(2)`, Carbon dioxide A diagram showing passage of `CO_(2)`through lime water. `CA(OH)_(2)+CO_(2) RARR CaCO_(3) + H_(2)O` `Or" "CH_(3)COOH+NaHCO_(3) rarr CH_(3)COONa + CO_(2) + H_(2)O`
