Which equation correctly shows the neutralization of acetic acid by NaOH?
A.CH₃COOH + NaOH → CH₃COONa + H₂O
B.CH₃COOH + 2NaOH → CH₃COONa₂ + 2H₂O
C.CH₃COOH + NaOH → CH₃COONa + H₂
D.CH₃COOH + NaOH → CH₃COOHNa + O₂
Explanation
Core Concept
Acetic acid's acidic H transfers to hydroxide, making water and sodium acetate. One proton transfers, matching the 1:1 mole ratio.
Correct Answer
ACH₃COOH + NaOH → CH₃COONa + H₂O
