Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For ${\text{NaCH}}_{\text{3}}\text{COO}$, the acid and base from which it can be prepared have to be identified and the overall neutralization reaction in both complete and net ionic form has to be written.

Concept introduction:

Acid - base reaction: Formation of the salt from the cation from the base and anion from the acid and formation of water is also the product.

Most of the ionic compounds are soluble in water, very few of the ionic compounds are sparingly soluble, and some of the ionic compounds are insoluble in water. When it is soluble in water ions gets separated in the solution.

Acids and bases:

Acid release hydrogen ion in water, base release hydroxide ions in water. An acid is a substance that produces hydronium ions, ${\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{\text{+}}$ when dissolved in water.

Explanation of Solution

The given compound is shown below,

   ${\text{NaCH}}_{\text{3}}\text{COO}$

${\text{NaCH}}_{\text{3}}\text{COO}$ is formed from the neutralization of ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\text{COOH}$ and $\text{NaOH}$. ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\text{COOH}$ is weak acid and $\text{NaOH}$ is strong base.

   ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\text{COOH(aq) + NaOH(aq) }\to {\text{ H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O (l)}\text{+}{\text{NaCH}}_{\text{3}}\text{COO(aq)}$

Acetic acid (${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\text{COOH}$) reacts with sodium hydroxide ($\text{NaOH}$) gives sodium acetate (${\text{NaCH}}_{\text{3}}\text{COO}$) and water.

Balance the equation,

    ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\text{COOH(aq) + NaOH(aq) }\to {\text{ H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O (l)}\text{+}{\text{NaCH}}_{\text{3}}\text{COO(aq)}$

While balancing the equation, the subscripts cannot be altered but coefficients can be changed. The reaction is already balanced. Now, the balanced equation is given below.

  ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\text{COOH(aq) + NaOH(aq) }\to {\text{ H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O (l)}\text{+}{\text{NaCH}}_{\text{3}}\text{COO(aq)}$
