1 ) Chemical equation of ethanoic acid and sodium 

CH_3 COOH + 2Na \rightarrow 2 CH_3 COONa + H_2
                                                             \downarrow
                                             (sodium ethanoate)

2) Chemical equation of etahnoic of ethanoic acid and sodium hydroxide 

2CH_3 COOH + NaOH \rightarrow 2 CH_3 COONa + H_2 O
                                                                            \downarrow 
                                                             (sodium ethanoate )

3) chemical equation of ethanoic acid and ethanol 

2CH_3 COOH +C_2 H_5 OH \rightarrow CH_3 COOC_2 H_5 + H_2O

                                                                               \downarrow

                                                               (Ethyl ethanoate)
