(N/A) The three chemical reactions for the conversion of ethanoic acid $(CH_{3}COOH)$ to sodium ethanoate $(CH_{3}COONa)$ are as follows:
$1$. Reaction with Sodium Hydroxide (Neutralization):
$CH_{3}COOH + NaOH \rightarrow CH_{3}COONa + H_{2}O$
Reactant: Sodium hydroxide $(NaOH)$; Product: Water $(H_{2}O)$.
$2$. Reaction with Sodium Carbonate:
$2CH_{3}COOH + Na_{2}CO_{3} \rightarrow 2CH_{3}COONa + H_{2}O + CO_{2}$
Reactant: Sodium carbonate $(Na_{2}CO_{3})$; Products: Water $(H_{2}O)$ and Carbon dioxide $(CO_{2})$.
$3$. Reaction with Sodium Bicarbonate:
$CH_{3}COOH + NaHCO_{3} \rightarrow CH_{3}COONa + H_{2}O + CO_{2}$
Reactant: Sodium bicarbonate $(NaHCO_{3})$; Products: Water $(H_{2}O)$ and Carbon dioxide $(CO_{2})$.
