Glacial acetic acid is pure acetic acid, not mixed with water. The smell of glacial acetic acid is much stronger than that of dilute acetic acid. Other than the greater intensity, the smell is exactly the same.

Does acetic acid have color and smell terrible?

Acetic acid is a clear, colorless liquid and has a strong, pungent odor that is often described as vinegary or sour.


Is acetic acid and acetic acid ester same thing?

No, acetic acid and acetic acid ester are not the same thing. Acetic acid is a simple organic compound with the chemical formula CH3COOH, while acetic acid ester is a compound formed by the reaction of acetic acid with an alcohol. Esterification of acetic acid forms esters, which are often used as fragrances or flavorings.


Is acetic acid anything like acetic acid?

Yes. Acetic acid is a lot like acetic acid.


Hydrogen peroxide peracetic acid acetic acid can these three be shipped in the same box and what happens if they mix?

Peracetic acid is made by reacting hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid. It is shipped in a solution of peracetic acid and hydrogen peroxide--it's not stable if shipped by itself.So...not only can peracetic acid and hydrogen peroxide be shipped in the same box, they can be shipped (no, change that to "are shipped") in the same container. As for acetic acid...depends on the concentration. If it's five-percent acetic acid, no problem. Peracetic acid and hydrogen peroxide are both very powerful oxidizers, and pure acetic acid's flammable, so I wouldn't ship glacial acetic acid in the same truck with either of those other two chemicals, much less the same box.


Is glycolic acid the same as acetic acid?

No, glycolic acid is not the same as acetic acid. Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid commonly used in skincare products for exfoliation, while acetic acid is a weak organic acid commonly found in vinegar. They have different chemical structures and properties.

Is acetate the same to acetic acid?

No. Acetate is the anion (negative ion) derived from acetic acid. Acetic acid is CH3COOH. Acetate is CH3COO-. Acetate ions exist in minute concentrations in a solution of acetic acid and can also be produce by neutralizing acetic acid with a base.

How you are going to prepare a solutin containing 3 percent acetic acid and 97 percent water?

Measuring 3ml of Glacial Acetic Acid in a 100ml volumetric flask and diluting the same with water upto the 100ml mark will give exactly 3% solution of Acetic Acid containing 97% water...thats all, thank you


Is vinegar an isotope of acetic acid?

No, vinegar is an aqueous solution of acetic acid. Specifically it is 5% acetic acid dissolved in water.Note that acetic acid is a compound while isotopes are variations of elements.Isotopes are atoms of the same element with differing numbers of neutrons.


What is the difference between acetic acid and ethanoic acid?

There is no difference between acetic acid and ethanoic acid - they are the same compound with the chemical formula CH3COOH. "Acetic acid" is the common name used in the IUPAC nomenclature system, while "ethanoic acid" is the systematic (or traditional) name for the compound.


Does vinegar contain ethanoic acid?

Vinegar is a 4% to 10% solution of Ethanoic acid (CH3COOH, also known as Acetic acid)


What is the condensed formula for acetic acid?

The chemical formula for acetic acid is CH3COOH. It should be noted that acetic acid is the same as ethanoic acid.
