Acetic acid reacts with sodium bicarbonate to form sodium acetate, water and carbon dioxide.
CH₃COOH + NaHCO₃ → CH₃COONa + H₂O + CO₂↑
Jute is more eco-friendly than polythene for packaging because:
- Jute is biodegradable and decomposes naturally.
- Polythene is non-biodegradable and causes environmental pollution.
