Acetic acid reacts with alkali metals to form the metal acetate salt and H2 gas (Cheung, H., Tanke, R. S. and Torrence, G. P. 2000. Acetic Acid. Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. (Online)).
Sodium reacts exothermically with acids, including carboxylic acids (Eggeman, T. 2007. Sodium and Sodium Alloys. Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. (Online); Dickinson, F. 1961. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 2, Supplement 2, p. 453. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.).
Sodium reduces salicylic acid to salicylaldehyde (Klemm, A., Hartmann, G. and Lange, L. 2000. Sodium and Sodium Alloys. Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. (Online)).
