How can ethanol and ethanoic acid be differentiated on the basis of their physical and chemical properties ?

Explanation

Ethanol is a liquid at room temperature with a pleasant odour while ethanoic acid has vinegar ike smell .The melting point of ethanoic acid is `17^(@)C` .This is below room temperature and hence ,it freezes during winters.
Ethanoic acid reacts with metal carbonates and metal hydrogen carbonates to form salts ,water ,and carbon dioxide gas while ethanol does not react with them .
Metal Carbonate /Hydrogen carbonate + Carboxylic acid `to` Salt + Water + Carbon dioxide
For Example :
`2CH_(3)COOH+Na_(2)CO_(3)to2CH_(3)COONa+H_(2)O+CO` Metal Carbonates /Metal Hydrogen carbonates + Alcohols `to` No reaction
`CH_(3)CH_(2)OH+Na_(2)COto`No reaction
