Answer:

Products: sodium acetate, water, and carbon dioxide

Step-by-step explanation:

I presume you mean ethanoic acid, the systematic IUPAC name for the acid most commonly known as acetic acid, which constitutes what we call vinegar.

Treating this as a weak acid + metal carbonate reaction, the general products are metal salt + water + carbon dioxide gas.

This can be confirmed by the chemical equation:

acetic acid + sodium hydrogen carbonate = sodium acetate + water + carbon dioxide


CH_(3) COOH+NaHCO_(3) = NaCH_(3) COO+H_(2)O+CO_(2)
