Detailed Solution

Sodium (Na) reacts with ethanoic acid to form sodium ethoxide.
A weak organic acid termed ethanoic acid interacts with sodium metal to generate sodium ethoxide, also known as sodium acetate, and releases hydrogen as a byproduct. Sodium ethoxide is the reaction's end product.
2CH3COOH+2Na    2CH3COONa+ H2
Therefore, sodium reacts with ethanoic acid to form sodium ethoxide.
