Ethanoic acid reacts with sodium hydroge...

Ethanoic acid reacts with sodium hydrogen carbonate to produce a salt 'X' and a gas 'Y'. Identify 'X' and 'Y' and write their chemical names. With the help of a labelled diagram describe an activity to confirm that the gas 'Y' is correctly identified by you. Also write the chemical equation of the reaction involved.
