What is a chemical equation?
A representation of a chemical reaction using symbols of the elements to indicate the amount of substance, usually in moles, of each reactant and product.
Since both sides have to be equal to each other, subtracting the left side from the right side will leave you with the other reactant.
On the right side, you have 1 sodium, 2 carbon, 5 hydrogens, and 3 oxygen.
If you take away 1 sodium, 1 oxygen, and 1 hydrogen you are left with 2 carbon, 4 hydrogens, and 2 oxygen.
Hence, [tex]CH_3COOH[/tex] is X in this reaction.
