Difference between 0.1 M acetic acid and glacial acetic acid?
Glacial acetic acid doesn't have water in it. Acetic acid ordinarily would be in a solution. Acetic acid is a weak acid, but it can be very concentrated. Glacial acetic acid is a acetic acid of a high purity more then 99.75 %
What is the IUPAC name of acetic acid?
Acetic acid itself is the chemical name. Its Formula is CH3COOH. It is a weak acid. When it is undiluted, it is known as Glacial Acetic Acid. An 8% watery solution of it in the kitchen is called "Vinegar", and an even weaker solution of it in the photo- darkroom is called "stop bath".
What is the common name of diluted acetic acid?
Acetic acid, C2H4O2, is an organic acid which gives vinegar its sour taste and pungent smell.Added:Acetic acid is the common name for ethanoic acid, CH3COOH.The 5 - 10% food grade solution of acetic acid is called vinegar.
What is the name of HOOCCH3?
The IUPAC name is ethanoic acid, but it's usually called acetic acid.
Does ethanoic acid is more soluble than hexanoic acid in water?
The question should be: Is ethanoic acid is more soluble than hexanoic acid in water?Yes because it has less carbons. Ethanoic (Acetic) Acid is fully miscible.
What is a vinegar radical?
Radical vinegar is the same thing as what is commonly called today glacial acetic acid. It is very concentrated acetic acid.
Why is concentrated acetic acid called glacial?
Because of its high freezing point.

What is the difference between glacial Acetic acid and acetic acid one - five percent solution?
Glacial acetic acid is concentrated acetic acid at approximately 95% acetic acid with 5% water by volume. 1-5% acetic acid is very weak, being composed of 95-99% water. For reference, glacial acetic acid can only be purchased through commercial suppliers with a valid reason to acquire it while household vinegar is generally a 2-3% acetic acid solution and available in every grocery store.

What are the components of vigegar?
Vinegar is CH3COOH its also called acetic acid or ethanoic acid
What is ethanol and ethanoic acid used for?
If you ever had vinegar on your salad, you used ethanoic acid. Ethanoic acid is more commonly known by its other name of acetic acid, and vinegar is most often a dilute (<10%) solution of acetic acid.
What is the name of HOOCCH3?
The IUPAC name is ethanoic acid, but it's usually called acetic acid.
What is the common name of aceticacid?
Acetic acid is also called Vinegar! (Although if you are getting really super strong acetic acid, it's called Glacial acetic acid.)
Does ethanoic acid is more soluble than hexanoic acid in water?

Is ethanoic acid stronger than hydrochloric acid?
No it isn't. Ethanoic acid, more commonly called acetic acid, is a weak acid. Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid.
