they do mix but there is no reaction unless a catalist like sulfuric acid were used

Is vinegar an example of alcohol?
No, vinegar is actually a solution. It's acetic acid, which is a compound, mixed with water, another compound. Acetic acid consists of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen; water consists of hydrogen and oxygen.
Write the chemical reactions involved in the esterification of acetic acid?
well acetic acid has the formula CH3COOH to form an ester the acetic acid will need to react with an alcohol. So for example if you have methanol CH3OH you would form an ester (esterification) and the ester would be methyl acetate. CH3COOCH3
Does Acetic acid contain alcohol?
If it is a mixture, then yes. Pure acetic acid is one hundred percent acetic acid, while vinegar is 5 or 10 percent acetic acid in water. You can make a solution of acetic acid and alcohol.
What will be the product of acetic acid and methanol?
Methyl acetate (or Methyl Ethanoate) and water.CH3OH + CH3COOH -----> CH3(CH3COO) + H2O
The most acidic compound is methyl alcohol?
No, methyl alcohol is generally not viewed as an acid at all.

Why benzoic acid is comaritively weaker acid than acetic acid?
Because acetic acid have methyl group ,a electron donating group

How you convert acetic acid into ethanol?
methyl acetate is also known as methyl ethanoate which is an ester. hydrolysis of ester will results in carboxylic acid and alcohol. this is an reversible reaction methyl acetate is also known as methyl ethanoate which is an ester. hydrolysis of ester will results in carboxylic acid and alcohol. this is an reversible reaction

Does methanol react with acetic acid?
Yes it does. It produces methyl acetate and water.
What ester is produced from salicylic acid and methyl alcohol?
Organic acids and alcohols are reacted (in the presence of a dehydrating agent) to produce esters. And these substances are often recognized by their characteristic odors. In the case here, salicylic acid and methyl alcohol yield methyl salicylate, which is winter-green.
Name the acid HC2H3O2?
That is the condensed formula for the weak acid acetic acid.CH3COOH is a common formula for acetic acid written by biochemists and biologists
What is CH3CH2CHCOOH?
CH3OH is methanolCh3COOH is ethanoic acid (vinegar)Together through esterification they form the ester methyl ethanoate + h20You take the CH3O from methanolThe CH3CO from ethanoic acid to getCH3COOCH3
3-methyl-1-butanol plus glacial acetic acid?
Isoamyl Acetate
