The result of a reaction with acetic acid and CH3NH2 is a product known as N-methylethanamide. This only happens if a high enough temperature is used, otherwise a reaction may not occur at all.

The reaction between acetic acid and ammonia is an acid-base reaction. The proton from the acid reacts with the hydroxide in the solution; the products are the acetate ion and water, with the ammonia ion not actually participating in the reaction.

First of all it is better not to speak of NH4OH in solution but of dissolved NH3 *)

CH3COOH + NH3 (+ H2O) <--> CH3COO- + NH4+ (+ H2O)

Both acetic acid and ammonia are weak acid/base and so are acetate and ammonium

*) but if you insist on writing NH4OH, you'll get:

CH3COOH + NH4OH <--> CH3COO- + NH4+ + H2O

Okay, first, the ammonia dissolves in any water present to make ammonium hydroxide, which is NH4OH. So then, the two react to form ammonium acetate and more water. It's a neutralization reaction, and here's the equation:

HC2H3O2 + NH4OH --> NH4C2H3O2 + H2O

The reaction between ethanoic acid (acetic acid) and sodium hydroxide is a double replacement one. Normally a reaction between an acid (acetic acid in this case) and a base (like NaOH) involves neutralization, which in turn produces water.
