Explanation:

Properties of Ethanoic Acid (CH_{3}COOH)


(a) Odour : It has pungent smell


(b) Solubility in water : It is soluble in water due to formation of hydrogen bonding.


(c) Effect on litmus paper


       It turns blue litmus red, indicating that is acidic in nature.


       CH_{3}COOH\right left harpoons CH_{3}COO^{-}+H^{+}


When dissolved in H_{2}O, acetic acid undergoes dissociation to form H^{+}, ion due to release of H^{+},CH_{3}COOH is acidic in nature.


(d) Reaction with sodium hydrogen carbonate


   CH_{3}COOH+NaHCO_{3}\righ tarrow CH_{3}COONa +CO_{2}+H_{2}O
