The protonation of an acetic acid is caused by the addition of a base. Water in this case can act like a base. When acetic acid is added to water, the negative charge of the oxygen atom in water attracts the hydrogen atom on the carbonyl group, extended from the central carbon atom in acetic acid. This transfers the electrons from the oxygen in water to allow for a oxygen with a -1 charge on the carbonyl group of acetic acid. This allows for resonance within acetic acid to form a double bond with either of the oxygen atoms(but really creates two weak double bonds). The end product is C2H3O2 + H30

Is acetic acid a strong acid?
It is a weak acid due to the incomplete ionisation of the acid in aqueous solution.
Why wouldn't CH3COOH an acetic acid be considered an Arrhenius acid?
It does not produce H+ ions in solution.
Why is spilling 1 M acetic acid relatively harmless compared to spilling 1 M hydrochloric acid?
Acetic acid is much weaker than hydrochloric acid. Weak acids do not fully dissociate into their contituent ions, so there will be a smaller concentration of H+ ions in 1 M acetic acid than in 1 M hydrochloric acid (even though the concentrations of the two acids are the same). It's the H+ ions that burn your skin - that do the damge. So, a small concentration of H+ ions, which is what we have in 1 M acetic acid, will therefore be pretty safe.
If you have concentrated forms of hydrochloric acid strong acid and acetic acid a weak acid which is more acidic which has more hydrogen ions?
Hydrochloric acid has more hydrogen ions and therefore is the stronger acid.
Why is acetic weaker than hydrochloric acid?
The strength of the acid depends on the amount of hydrogen ions which come from the dissociation of the acid. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) splits entirely into ions: H+ and Cl-, due to a large acid dissociation constant (Ka). Ka of an acetic acid is relatively small (10-4.8). That means that lots of molecules stays undissociated and do not produce H+ ions.
Is acetate the same to acetic acid?
No. Acetate is the anion (negative ion) derived from acetic acid. Acetic acid is CH3COOH. Acetate is CH3COO-. Acetate ions exist in minute concentrations in a solution of acetic acid and can also be produce by neutralizing acetic acid with a base.

Why pure acetic acid does not blue litmus to red?
acetic acid has fewer H3O+ ions and hence it is weak acid . so it does not turn blue litmus to red .

How many moles of formic acid is there in 25 grams of acetic acid?
I think you meant " How many moles of acetic acid in 25 grams of acetic acid? " We will use the chemist formula for acetic acid, 25 grams C2H4O2 (1 mole C2H4O2/60.052 grams) = 0.42 mole acetic acid =================
How do you calculate the Degree of Ionization of Acetic Acid?
measure pH of a known solution, say 0.1 mol/L acetic acid. pH = - log10[H3O+], rearrange that and: [H3O+] = 1 / (10^pH) so now you have concentration of hyronium ions. If acetic acid completely dissociated into its ions, then 0.1mol/L would be ions, but it doesn't! So the percentage of dissociation = 0.1 / [H3O+] = 0.1 / [ 1 / (10^pH)]
How many acetic acid phases does vinegar have?
Vinegar is a mixture of water and acetic acid.
Acetic acid is what type of acid?
Acetic acid is a weak acid because it only ionises to a minimal extent in solution to produce hydrogen ions.CH3COOH CH3COO- + H+By definition, a weak acid is a substance which only ionises to a minimal extent in solution to produce hydrogen ions. A strong acid, is a substance which ionises completely in solution to produce hydrogen ions.
Acetic acid is weaker than oxalic acid?
Yes, Acetic acid is a mono carboxylic acid while Oxalic acid is dicarboxylic acid, due to two proton donating ability of oxalic acid and high polarity in molecule make it more soluble in water so it produces a large no of hydrogen ions in solution as compare to acetic acid.
