Can acetic acid and water mix?

Yes, acetic acid is highly soluble in water.


Does acetic acid originate in fruit?

Acetic Acid is Vinegar. It is made similarly to making alcohol, by FERMINTATION. One or more vegetable products, in a water solution, is innoculated [or exposed to] one of many bactera which digest the sugars in the mix, and excrete acetic acid. This MUST occur in an aerobic [WITH the presense of Oxygen] enviroment in order to get acetic acid.For alcohol, the environment MUST be anerobic [without Oxygen]


What is the source of acetic acid?

It depends on what you want it for. Acetic acid can be used in foods (in which case it's called vinegar), and to get food grade vinegar they put some sort of alcoholic beverage--wine, rice wine, hard cider, potato mash, whatever--in a tank, add acetobacter bacteria and stir continuously while bubbling air through the mix. You get 15 percent acetic acid vinegar, which is reduced to 5 percent with water, in 24 hours. If it's an industrial chemical, reacting methanol with carbon monoxide over a cobalt catalyst produces pure acetic acid as fast as you can feed stock into the reactor.


What happens when you mix H2O and acetic acid?

When you mix water (H2O) and acetic acid, the acetic acid will dissolve in the water to form a solution. Acetic acid is a weak acid and will partially dissociate into hydrogen ions (H+) and acetate ions (CH3COO-) in the water. This will result in a slightly acidic solution.


How do you make 1percent acetic acid in acetonitrile?

To make 1% acetic acid in acetonitrile, you would mix 1 part acetic acid with 99 parts acetonitrile by volume. For example, if you want to make 100mL of 1% acetic acid in acetonitrile, you would mix 1mL of acetic acid with 99mL of acetonitrile. Remember to handle acetic acid carefully as it can cause skin and eye irritation.

What happens when you mix vinegar with sulfur?

The compound is acetic acid, if it is in a water free form it is called glacial acetic acid. The water free form is rare as the acid is hygroscopic it absorbs water from the surrounding air. The chemical formula is C2H4O2.It's systematic name is Ethanoic acid, other names include: Acetyl hydroxide (AcOH), Hydrogen acetate (HAc), Ethylic acid, Methanecarboxylic acid.
