Hey everyone, we're asked to determine the type of reaction when caustic soda reacts with vinegar. Looking at our reaction, we can see that we have an acid and a base and this tells us that we have an acid based reaction. And to support our answer, we can see that we produced a water and a salt. Looking at our other options, we know it's not a redox reaction since there is no change in oxidation state. We know it's not a precipitation reaction because we did not produce a solid. And we also know it's not a meta thesis reaction because a meta thesis reaction is one where we have two hydrocarbons that are converted into two new hydrocarbons. So that can't be your answer as well. So our final answer here is going to be an acid based reaction. Now, I hope that made sense. And let us know if you have any questions.
