(a) When acetic acid is added to sodium bicarbonate, carbon dioxide is liberated.
CH 3COOH + NaHCO3 → CH3COONa + H2O + CO2
(b) When acetic acid is added to ethyl alcohol in presence of sulphuric acid ester (ethyl acetate) is formed.
CH3COOH + C2H5OH + H2SO4 → CH3COOC2H5 + H2O
(c) When acetic acid is added to neutral FeCl3, wine red color is produced
