It creates Copper Acetate and Hydrogen shown by the following balanced equation.
2HC2H3O2 + Cu ---> Cu(C2H3O2)2 + H2
but..........................................
wouldn't the answer be... ?
HC2H3O2 + Cu ---> CuC2H3O2 + H2O [<< water is always produced in a acid reaction?]
^Where's your extra oxygen coming from? Water and a salt are always produced as reactants in acid - base reactions, acid - metal reactions almost always involve some sort of ionic reaction with H2 as a product, the original equation is correct.

What alcohol makes propyl ethonate has the formula CH3CH2CH2OH?
That is propyl alcohol. It will react with ethanoic acid (acetic acid) to make propyl ethanoate (propyl acetate).
Is copper acetate a weak base?
Copper acetate is an ionic compound, but the acetate ions that are part of it have internal covalent bonds. Since the acetate ions are not molecules, this is not considered to be a molecular compound.
What type of compound is CH3COOH?
This is a conjugate base to the weak acid called Acetic acid, CH3COOH.CH3COO- is called: Acetate ion.This is the conjugate base of the weak acid Acetic Acid, CH3COOH.It is commonly called an Acetate anion or just Acetate.Ethanoate is the official IUPAC name.
Why does acetic acid and vinegar not mix well?
Acetic Acid is what gives vinegar it's sour taste so they do mix well as acetic acid is what makes vinegar.
What elements makes vinegar smell?
Acetic Acid which is CH3COOH

Why is phosphoric acid an acid and it does not contain the carboxyl group -cooh?
Phosphoric Acid is an acid because it dissociates into Hydrogen and phosphate ions. Second Question. COOH- doesn't make something an acid. It makes it an acetate. Acetate is part of a weak acid, Acetic Acid.

Why pH of Simmon's citrate agar increase if citrate is utilized?
This is due to the production of oxalacetic acid and acetate, when the enzyme citrase acts on the citrate. the oxalacetic acid and acetate is enzymatically converted to pyruvic acid and carbon dioxide. the carbon dioxide combines with sodium and water forming sodium carbonate which in turns makes the medium alkaline.
What carboxylic acid makes acetate salt?
A salt is an ionic compound formed by the neutralization of charge. Take a simple strong acid like HCl. When dissociated, it yields H+ and Cl-. If you introduce sodium (Na+), the Na+ will form an ionic bond with the Cl- to form NaCl (table salt). The positive charge on the Na and the negative on the Cl neutralized each other to form a neutral stable compound we call a salt. The same concept applies to any acid, including carboxylic acids. Take acetic acid (CH3COOH). It can dissociate into CH3COO- (acetate) and H+ giving the end oxygen a negative charge. Again, let's introduce Na+ to the system. The Na+ will form an ionic bond with the negatively charged oxygen on the acetate to form sodium acetate (CH3COONa). The formation of an ionic bond between Na and acetate balanced the charges, so we call this a salt as well. Since it was made from a carboxylic acid, we can call it a "carboxylic acid salt".
