(a)
Interpretation:
The balanced equation for the reaction of acetic acid with
Concept introduction:
Carboxylic acids have an acidic proton which can be used in the acid-base reactions. They behave as Bronsted- Lowry acids as they act as proton donors. In presence of a strong base, the proton is abstracted resulting in an acid-base reaction.
