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.
