its quite an easy question. the answer is very simple.......

chemical properties of ethanoic acid:-

  • gives effervescence of CO2 with NaHCO3.
  • it belongs to the category of weak acid called the carboxylic acid.

chemical properties of ethanol:-

  • doesnt give any effervescence of CO2.
  • it belongs to the category of alcohol

physical properties of ethanoic acid:-

  • its melting point is 290 K, so it often freezes in winters at cold climate.so, pure acetic acid is called glacial acetic acid.

physical properties of ethanol:-

  • it doesnt freezes in the winters.

may be more but this is all the important ones...

What is different between ethenol and ethenic acid?

Hello! Hope this helps- Ethanoic acid is the product when ethanol is oxidized (depending on the reagents and environment conditions, etc.). An example of a difference in physical properties can be seen in yeast fermentation- yeast produces ethanol, and when the solution the yeast is in (say.. it's a glucose substrate solution) comes into contact with oxygen, the ethanol is oxidized into ethanoic adic. When ethanoic acid gets into yeast cells, it slows down the process of fermentation. While ethanol is also toxic to yeast, it is fatal at a higher concentration, but does not have the same effect as e.acid. There's a difference.. Good luck researching!! (;
