YT2095 Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 sometimes known as Ethanoic acid also. CH3CO2H. it`s made by oxidizing Ethanol ( drinking alcohol) hence Wine or Malt vinigars
JaKiri Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 It's generally expressed as COOH, not CO2H, btw.
scientistsahai Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 Acetic acid is an organic acid with the formula CH3COOH. It is a weak acid.It is an important acid in industrial as well as lab use.
SmokingSkillz Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 Can you distill acetic acid with a fractioning column?
SmokingSkillz Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 I can't see why not, but have read somewhere that you must neutralize the acetic with sodium hydroxide then distill the sodium acetate with sulphuric acid.
YT2095 Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 yeah, you`re alot more likely to get the glacial form that way as opposed to just strong acetic
