Latex paint composition varies somewhat from source to source. However, there are some common parts:
~40% water
~20% vinyl acetate/vinyl acrylic or vinyl acrylic polymer (in emulsion)
Surfactant (soap)
Opacity agent (titanium dioxide primarily)
Rheological modifier (to provide easy application)
Anti-microbial agent (BIT or CIT)
and Pigment
The paint type is known as Emulsion in the UK and Latex in the USA is a water-borne dispersion of sub-micrometer polymer particles. These terms in their respective countries cover all paints that use synthetic polymers such as acrylic, vinyl acrylic (PVA), styrene acrylic, etc. as binders.
Exterior latex paint is made from water, latex resins, and other pigments.
Can you restate your question are you asking what is the latex paint or are you asking when was the invention of the latex paint.
you can paint over latex paint with latex enamel.
You can mix water into most latex paints up to a point. Usually eight ounces to a gallon. A better alternative is to add a latex paint additive, like Flotrol, that is made out of acrylic resin, that doesn't degrade the paint.
It's primer made with a latex or acrylic base. You can use any kind of paint over this.
Not directly. You will need to use a primer made to adhere to oil and will accept a latex topcoat.

No, you use water to thin latex paint. Thinner is for oil based paint.
100% acrylic paint can definitely go over latex. Acrylic paint actually is the same thing as latex paint. Some manufacturers differentiate their products as 100% acrylic and also have a product called latex that is made of acrylic plus co binders and other additives. So while one is 100% acrylic and the other is a mixture they are both water based and considered latex.
If you mean latex paint, none. Latex is a water based paint and has no toxic fumes.
Yes ,you can use polyacrylic over latex
Latex paint can stick to the floor grouting.
No. Latex paint is not affected by muriatic acid.
Either oil or latex primer can be used over interior latex paint.
