Where do you find acetic acid and where does it come from?

Answer 1

My experience has generally been that I find it in bottles that come from Fisher Scientific.

If you're asking where you can find it, distilled or white vinegar is a (weak, about 5%) solution of acetic acid in water, and it comes from a grocery store, though ultimately it's generally produced by the oxidation of ethanol by bacteria in the genus Acetobacter.

Answer 2

Acetic acid is commonly found in household vinegar, which is typically produced through the fermentation of ethanol by acetic acid bacteria. It is also produced naturally in small amounts by some fruits and vegetables as a byproduct of their metabolism. Additionally, acetic acid can be synthetically produced on an industrial scale for various applications.
