coenzyme A (CoA)
One way that pyruvic acid, butyric acid, and acetic acid are different is that their molecular masses are all different. They all also have different molecular formulas.
Paracetamol is produced by reaction of an acetic compound and another compound. So, it already contains an acetic acid molecule. Therefore the 2 molecules cannot recombine unless forced to under reaction circumstances. Also, acetic acid cannot dissolve into water and form an azeotrope
carbosyl acid
If the excess acetic anhydride is not removed in the reaction vessel an unwanted reaction will occur. The acetic anhydride will react causing esterification.
Acetic Acid.

This is false. Pyruvic acid is converted to acetic acid prior to the krebs cycle.
Carbon dioxide, the same gas you breath out in respiration.
Acetic Acid.

The formation of aspirin will proceed faster if acetic anhydride is used in place of acetic acid. However, acetic anhydride will hydrolyze in the presence of water to form acetic acid, slowing down the reaction.
