A 5 - 8 % of ethanoic acid in water is called vinegar . Due to the formation of calcium stearate and magnesium stearate with hard water most of the soap is wasted in the production of these precipitates that is why it is unadvisable to use soap with hard water. Saponificarion is the reaction reverse to that of esterification. When any carboxylic acid reacts with an alcohol to form an ester is called the esterification reaction. Ethanoic acid also undergoes neutralization reaction in the same manner as that of any other acid. All the carboxylic acids react with sodium carbonate and sodium hydrogen carbonate to give CO2 gas as one of its products which can be further tested by passing the produced gas through lime water if it turns lime water milky it shows the presence of carboxylic acid or else it is not the case.
