Write out the chemical formulae for each material, and see which formula does not contain the entity that is contained in all the others.
Water is the only substance in the list that does not contain the element carbon.
The ester formed from benzyl alcohol and acetic acid is benzyl acetate.
To turn alcohol into vinegar, you will need alcohol (such as wine, beer, or cider), vinegar mother (a culture of acetic acid bacteria), and oxygen. The acetic acid bacteria will convert the alcohol into acetic acid in the presence of oxygen, resulting in vinegar.
Acetic acid does not contain alcohol. It is a completely different chemical compound composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, while alcohols are organic compounds that contain a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group.
When alcohol is oxidized by the air, it forms acetaldehyde, which is a toxic compound. This oxidation process usually happens when alcohol is exposed to air for an extended period of time, resulting in a change in flavor and quality of the alcohol.
The formation of an ester from acetic acid involves a reaction with an alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst. This reaction is called Fischer esterification and leads to the formation of an ester and water. The general reaction equation is: Acetic acid + Alcohol → Ester + Water
No! Acetic (more properly, Ethyl) Alcohol is C2H5OH but Isopropal Alcohol (a secondary propyl alcohol) is CH3CHOHCH3.
Acetic alcohol is a mixture, not a pure substance. You make it by mixing 3ml acetic acid with 100ml of "absolute alcohol," which is ethanol containing less than 1 percent water by weight. So...you could draw an acetic acid lewis diagram and an ethanol lewis diagram side by side.
The ester formed from benzyl alcohol and acetic acid is benzyl acetate.

No, vinegar is not an example of alcohol. Vinegar is produced through the fermentation of alcohol by bacteria, resulting in acetic acid. Alcohol refers to a group of organic compounds that contain hydroxyl functional groups.
CH3COOH is a pure substance. It is the chemical formula for acetic acid.
Malt vinegar does not contain alcohol. It is made from malted barley and water that undergoes fermentation to produce acetic acid, which gives vinegar its sour taste. Any alcohol present during the fermentation process is converted to acetic acid.
Yes, acetic acid is considered a pure substance because it is a compound with a definite chemical composition (CH3COOH) and consistent properties throughout.
Benzyl alcohol is an aromatic alcohol commonly used as a solvent, preservative, and flavoring agent. Acetic acid is a clear, colorless liquid with a pungent odor, commonly used in vinegar production, food preservation, and as a solvent. Both compounds have distinct chemical structures and properties, with benzyl alcohol being an alcohol and acetic acid being a carboxylic acid.
