उत्तर
Carbon dioxide evolves when ethanoic acid is added to sodium carbonate.
2CH3COOH + Na2CO3 → 2CH3COONa + CO2 + H2O
When the gas evolved during this reaction, is passed through the lime water in a test tube, the latter turns milky. This indicates that the gas evolved is carbon dioxide.

Why is glacial acetic acid called so?
Raina while doing certain reactions observed that heating of substance ‘X’ with a vinegar-like smell with a substance ‘Y’ (which is used as an industrial solvent.) in the presence of conc.
