What is the pH of ethanoic acid?
Ethanoic acid is vinegar, it can be diluted to be pH 4 or 5, it can also be very concentrated to be 1 or 2. Most ethanoic acids are 4-5 in pH.
Does ethanoic acid more closely resemble hydroxyl or carbonyl compounds in its reaction?
Ethanoic acid resembles hydroxyl compounds more than carbonyl because it reacts with sodium and phosphorus pentachloride, typical alcohol reactions. But it doesn't react with 2,4- dinitrophenylhydrozine (typical carbonyl compound).
What is the equation of the reaction between ethanol and ethanoic acid?
The reaction between ethanol and ethanoic acid produces ethyl acetate and water in the presence of a catalyst like concentrated sulfuric acid. The equation for this reaction is: Ethanol + Ethanoic acid → Ethyl acetate + Water
Why is the reaction of sodium metal and ethanoic acid is moderate?
The reaction between sodium metal and ethanoic acid is moderate because it is not as vigorous as reactions involving more reactive metals like sodium with water. In this reaction, the sodium displaces hydrogen from the ethanoic acid to form sodium acetate and hydrogen gas. The moderate nature of the reaction is due to the reactivity of sodium with ethanoic acid compared to more reactive substances.
The alcohol and carboxylic acid required to form propyl ethanoate are?
To form propyl ethanoate, you need propanol (a three-carbon alcohol) and ethanoic acid (acetic acid). The reaction between propanol and ethanoic acid, in the presence of an acid catalyst like concentrated sulfuric acid, results in the formation of propyl ethanoate (ethyl propanoate) along with water.
How does ethanoic anhydride undergo dehydration?
Ethanoic anhydride cannot be dehydrated any further as it is already the dehydrated form of Ethanoic acid. You can remove water from Ethanoic acid by using Concentrated H2SO4.

What happens when ethanol is heated in presence of concentrated H2SO4?
When ethanol is heated in the presence of concentrated H2SO4, it undergoes dehydration to form ethylene gas. This reaction follows an elimination mechanism where a water molecule is eliminated from ethanol to produce ethylene.
What is the result for ethanoic acid plus vinegar?
Nothing. Because you are mixing two of the same together. Vinegar is the 'everyday ' name for ethanoic (Acetic) acid.
Which is weaker hydrobromic acid or ethanoic acid?
HBr is a strong acid. Ethanoic acid (acetic acid) is a weak acid. So ethanoic acid is weaker.
What is the common name of ethanoic acid?
The common name for ethanoic acid is acetic acid.
What prodduct would you expect to be formed when a molecule of water is eliminated from ethanoic acid?
When ethanoic acid gets dehydrated, ethanoic anhydride is formed. The formula is (CH3 CO)2O.
Which acid is safe enough to preserve food 1.dilute hydrochloric acid 2. dilute sulphuric acid 3. dilute ethanoic acid 4. concentratec ethanoic acid?
Dilute ethanoic acid (vinegar) is safe enough to preserve food. It is commonly used in pickling and canning processes. Dilute hydrochloric acid and dilute sulphuric acid are not suitable for preserving food as they are too strong and can be harmful if ingested. Concentrated ethanoic acid is also not recommended for food preservation due to its high concentration and potential toxicity.
