Acetic acid and hydrogen chloride are two different compounds.
Although one IS an acid and the other dissolves readily in water to become hydrochloric acid they are produced from different elements, as such the odour of each is quite distinct.
In laymans terms, Hydrogen Chloride is often compared to the smell of rotten eggs ... which it almost is! (The smelll of rotten eggs is from the production of Hydrogen Sulphide).
Acetic acid is approximately eight percent of the volume of vinegar, hence the extreme vinegar smell. It would be more accurate to state that vinegar smells like Acetic acid ... but that isn't the question.
What else can I help you with?
Why did the acetic acid odor disappear after the addition of NaOh?
The acetic acid odor disappeared after the addition of NaOH because NaOH is a strong base that can neutralize the acidic properties of acetic acid. This reaction results in the formation of water and sodium acetate, which are odorless.
Does vinger have Acetic Acid?
Yes, vinegar contains acetic acid. Acetic acid is a key component of vinegar and is responsible for its sour taste and strong odor.
What is the Odor of acetic acid?
Acetic acid has a pungent, vinegar-like odor. It is often described as having a sour smell similar to vinegar.
What is the odor 1-pentanol and acetic acid?
Amyl Acetate is formed from 1-pentanol and acetic acid. This smells like bananas
Which carboxylic acid is responsible for the odour and taste of vinegar?
Vinegar contains acetic acid. Acetic acid has a sour taste. This gives the odor and the taste to vinegar.

Does acetic acid have color and smell bad?
Acetic acid is colorless, but has a very strong smell, like vinegar.
At room temperature acetic acid is?
Acetic acid is a liquid at the room temperature and pressure.
What is the solute in vinger?
The solute in vinegar is acetic acid, which gives vinegar its sour taste and pungent odor. Acetic acid is produced through the fermentation process of ethanol by acetic acid bacteria.
Precipitation Reaction of ammonium chloride and sulfuric acid?
When ammonium chloride is mixed with sulfuric acid, it forms ammonium sulfate and hydrogen chloride gas. The reaction is exothermic and releases heat. Ammonium sulfate is a white crystalline solid while hydrogen chloride gas is a colorless gas with a sharp odor.
Does acetic acid have no color and smells awful?
An acetic acid solution has no color and a unique odor.
Which ion is presented if 6 M hydrochloric acid produces a vapor with an acrid odor?
By heating hydrogen chloride as a gas is released.
What are the differences between acetic acid and formic acid in terms of their chemical properties and applications?
Acetic acid and formic acid are both organic acids, but they differ in their chemical properties and applications. Acetic acid has a milder odor and taste compared to formic acid, which has a strong, pungent odor. Acetic acid is commonly used in food preservation, as a solvent, and in the production of vinegar. Formic acid is used in leather tanning, textile dyeing, and as a preservative in livestock feed. Additionally, formic acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid, with different reactivity and chemical properties.
