Solution
The reaction between sodium carbonate and dilute ethanoic acid is given by the chemical equation:
\[\ce{2CH3COOH + Na2CO3 -> 2CH3COONa + H2O + CO2}\]
This equation represents the acid-base reaction where sodium carbonate (a base) reacts with ethanoic acid to produce sodium acetate, water, and carbon dioxide gas.
