CH3COOH (aq) + NaOH (aq) → C2H3NaO2 (aq) + H2O (l)

This is an acid-base reaction (neutralization): CH3COOH is an acid, NaOH is a base.

This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction:

CII + 2 e- → C0 (reduction)

C-II - 2 e- → C0 (oxidation)

CH3COOH is an oxidizing agent, CH3COOH is a reducing agent (synproportionation (comproportionation)).
