Hydrochloric Acid and Sodium Acetate

HCl + CH3COONa → CH3COOH + NaCl

개요

A strong acid reacts with the salt of a weak acid to liberate the weak acid. Hydrochloric acid protonates acetate ions to form acetic acid because HCl is a much stronger acid. This reaction demonstrates the principle that stronger acids displace weaker acids from their salts.

일상 속 예시

Adding vinegar (acetic acid) to a solution of baking soda generates the characteristic fizzing because the same displacement principle applies to carbonate salts.
