Title: Is this equation OK?
Post by: masterofpuppets on June 28, 2002, 05:02:00 AM

HCl(aq) + CH3COONa(aq) --->  NaCl + CH3COOH(aq)

Think that this should work - just wondering if some heat would be required??  Any help??

aurelius would use sulfuric instead of hydrochloric for distillation purposes (less water)  however, HCl should work just fine.

HCl_(aq) + CH₃COONa_(aq) ^__> NaCl_(aq) + CH₃COOH_(aq)
