 Reaction of Ethanoic acid with MCO /MHCO -
3
3

During the reaction of ethanoic acid with metal carbonates or bi-carbonates, carbon
dioxide gas is liberated.
We can test for the liberation of carbon dioxide gas, using Lime water test.

 Test for release of CO2 gas by Lime water test-

When CO2 gas is passed through lime water, it turns milky due to the formationof
insoluble calcium carbonate which is a milky white precipitate..
