I don't think the third formula is correct. Maybe it's CH3COONa (sodium acetate) or C2H3O2Na. That is what normally should result. If so, the equation is balanced:
CH3COOH + NaOH = CH3COONa + H2O.

CH3COOH + NaOH = CH3COONa + H2O
ethanoic aicd + sodium hydroxide = salt + water
The carboxylic acid reacts with alkali to form a salt and water, as simple as that.

CH3COOH is the organic way to write the formula for acetic acid. NaC2H3O2 is the inorganic way to write sodium acetate. A previous answer (correctly) indicated that you had an incorrect formula, the correct formula being the sodium acetate one just above in my answer.

CH3COOH + NaOH = CH3COO-Na+(aq) + H2O(l)
Balanced!!!!

CH3COOH + NaOH --->CH3COONa + H2O
THATS CORRECT!!!
ACID + BASE = SALT + WATER

What grade are you in cause this is that advanced balancing with Acids and Bases where you have to add like Waters and hydroxides. I can't remember how to do it so I'm just not gonna try and explain it.

CH3COOH+NaOH------CH3COONa+H2O
This is the right balanced equation

I honestly don't know...............I seriously sat here trying but I couldn't get it done, are you sure you have the right equation ?
