First of all please write your chemical symbols with CAPITAL letters.
NB Single letter elements are ALWAYS written as a capital letter. Double letter symbols are always written as , first letter is a capital letter, and the second letter is small/lower case.
So you formula should be written as 'C2H4O2'.
Written in this form it is not known as an acid or a base.
However, I think it is 'CH3C(=O)OH, in which case it is ethanoic (acetic) acid.
Ethanoic acid is a carboxylic acid , and as the name suggest it is an Acid, and carboxylic acids are WEAK acids.
What else can I help you with?
Explain how the relationship between the strengths of an acid and its conjugate base and of a base and its conjugated acid?
If acid is strong then its conjugate base must be weak, if conjugate base is strong it again accept the H+ ions so acid can neither be strong, similarly if base is strong its conjugate acid must be weak.
Molecular formula for acetic acid?
CH3- C(=O)OH Acetic acid is the archaic name for 'Ethanoic Acid'.
Is the conjugate of a strong base is a weak acid?
NaHCO3 is a weak base, with a conjugate acid of H2CO3+.
What products are produced in a neutralization reaction between a strong acid and a strong base?
Strong Acid + Strong Base ---> Neutral Salt + Water
Is H2SO4 a base?
No, H2SO4 (sulfuric acid) is not a base; it is an acid. It is a strong acid that donates protons in aqueous solutions.
Is C2H4O2 weak or strong?
it is a non electrolyte C2H5OH is not a base, its an alcohol, ETHYL ALCOHOL so its just an alcohol
What is formed when a strong acid with a strong base?
A salt is formed when a strong acid reacts with a strong base.
What acid is presented in vinegar?
Acetic acid: CH3COOH, or C2H4O2.

No, H2SO4 (sulfuric acid) is not a base; it is an acid. It is a strong acid that donates protons in aqueous solutions.
Will the solution at the end point of an acidbase titration be acidic neutral or alkaline if it is a weak acid and strong base?
The solution at the endpoint of an acid-base titration involving a weak acid and a strong base will be alkaline. This is because the weak acid will have been neutralized by the strong base, resulting in excess hydroxide ions in the solution causing it to be alkaline.
What is the counter base for a strong acid?
For countering a strong acid, a strong base like NaOH, LiOH are required.
Which acid-base chemical reaction is irreversible?
The acid-base chemical reaction that is irreversible is the reaction between a strong acid and a strong base.
Is LiCN classified as a strong acid-strong base salt?
No, LiCN is not classified as a strong acid-strong base salt. It is the salt of lithium hydroxide (a strong base) and hydrocyanic acid (a weak acid), so it does not produce significant amounts of hydroxide or hydronium ions in solution.
