Where can ethanoic acid found?

Answer 1

Ethanoic acid is CH3CO2H, also known as Acetic acid and is a weak organic acid. The structure of ethanoic acid is CH3COOH. It is found in vinegar ("vinegar" is Old French for "sour wine"). Vinegar is used as a food flavoring and preservative.

Ethanoic acid is used to make a polymer called acetate rayon.

Acetate rayon fibres can be woven to make clothing and fabrics.

A reaction that produces ethanoic acid:

ethanol + oxygen -> ethanoic acid + water.

C2H5OH(aq)+ O2(g) ->CH3CO2H(aq) + H2O(l)

Answer 2

Ethanoic acid is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH3COOH (also written as CH3CO2H or C2H4O2). It is a colourless liquid that when undiluted is also called glacial acetic acid. Vinegar is roughly 3-9% acetic acid by volume, making acetic acid the main component of vinegar apart from water. Acetic acid has a distinctive sour taste and pungent smell. Besides its production as household vinegar, it is mainly produced as a precursor to polyvinylacetate and cellulose acetate. The properties of ethanoic acid are:

• Ethanoic acid is a colourless liquid with sour taste and typical vinegar smell.
• It is miscible with water in all proportions.
• The acid boils at 391 K (118°C).
• On cooling, pure ethanoic acid freezes to form ice like flakes. They look like a glacier. Due to this property, pure ethnoic acid is often called glacial ethanoic acid or glacial acetic acid.

Answer 3

it is a useful antiseptic for jellyfish stings, it is also a weak acid, so you don't have to worry about getting your fingers burned off or anything!!! XDthey are used to create rubber and toys: toy trucks etc.
