Describe a chemical test to differentiate ethanol and ethanoic acid

We can distinguish between ethanol and ethanoic acid by reacting them with a metallic carbonate like Na2CO3 or a bicarbonate like NaHCO3 ethanoic acid reacts to give to give CO2 and no reaction takes place in case of ethanol.

"hydrogen bonding is the attraction of h atoms in the water molecule (slight + charge) to o atoms in a neighboring water molecule (slight - charge); it is a weak interatomic force. but it is still strong enough to the water molecules "stick" together."

< > according to newton's third law of motion, forces always act in equal but opposite pairs. another way of saying this is for every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction.< >
