Respuesta :
NaOH + X → NaCH3COO + H2O
In the incomplete reaction above x is CH3COOH ( acetic acid)
Explanation
- carboxylic acid react with metal hydroxide to form salt and water.
- sodium hydroxide (NaOH) react with acetic acid to form sodium acetate ( NaCH3COO and water H2O.
NaOH + CH3COOH → NaCH3COO (salt) + H2O
