structure of the intermediate and product B
Shown in the reaction. What is the mechanism for
this reaction?

it is the most commonly accepted one

answer; the numbers of valence electrons in the acetic acid molecule (ch3co2h) is 24;

ca has a crystalline lattice with positive ions (since it is a metal, metals are positively charged) and electrons flow freely in its structure since the ca atoms have a large nuclear radius so the electrons are not tightly held, therefore the electrons can flow freely since they are not being highly attracted by the nucleus. moreover, one of the properties of metals are that they are conductors of electricity, thus proving ca is the element.
