Actetic Acid

Acetic acid (CH₃COOH), also known as glacial acetic acid when in its concentrated form, is a colorless liquid with a strong, pungent odor. It is a weak organic acid and one of the key components of vinegar, typically making up about 4–8% of vinegar's content.

  • ▎Physical Properties

    Colorless, with a strong, vinegary smell.
    Boiling point: 118°C (244.4°F); Melting point: 16.6°C (61.9°F) for glacial acetic acid (concentrated).
    Highly soluble in water and alcohol.
    A corrosive acid with a pH level of around 2 in concentrated form.

     

    ▎Chemical Properties

    Acetic acid is a weak acid but can dissociate to release hydrogen ions (H⁺) in solution.
    It is a good solvent for many organic compounds and can react with alcohols to form esters (known as esterification).
    Acetic acid also reacts with bases to form salts, called acetates.

     

    ▎Common Uses

    Vinegar Production: Acetic acid is the main component of vinegar, which is used in cooking, as a condiment, and for pickling.

    Chemical Synthesis: It is widely used in the production of chemicals such as acetic anhydride, acetate esters, and synthetic fibers like acetate.

    Food Industry: It is used as a preservative, acidulant, and flavoring agent in food products.

    Solvent: Acetic acid is used as a solvent in various industrial applications, including paint production and cleaning.

    Pharmaceuticals: It is used in the synthesis of drugs, particularly for the preparation of certain antibiotics and other medical compounds.
