Ethanoic acid and sodium carbonate react to produce carbon dioxide gas that effervesces very quickly. Sodium ethanoate, a salt, is created as a result of this reaction. The reaction described above has the following chemical equation:

2 C H_{3} COOH (l) + {Na}_{2} {CO}_{3} (s) \to 2 C H_{3} COONa (aq) + H_{2} O (l) + C O_{2} (g)
