Answer:

Explanation:

CH₃COOH(aq) + NaHCO₃(s) -> CO₂(g) + H₂O(l) + Na+(aq) + CH₃COO-(aq)

The equation is already balanced .

In the reaction acetic acid reacts with sodium bicarbonate to produce carbon dioxide gas , water and sodium acetate . Sodium acetate will be in ionic form ie in the form of Na⁺ ( sodium ion ) and CH₃COO ⁻ ion ( acetate ion ) .

This is an acid base neutralisation reaction . one mole of acetic acid reacts with one mole of sodium bicarbonate to produce one mole of carbon dioxide gas , one mole of water and one mole of sodium acetate in ionic form .
