Acetic acid, with the CAS number 64-19-7, is a colorless, pungent liquid organic compound that is a key component of vinegar, contributing to its sour taste and strong odor. It has a molecular formula of C2H4O2 and is classified as a carboxylic acid due to the presence of a carboxyl group (-COOH). Acetic acid is hygroscopic and miscible with water, ethanol, and ether, making it versatile in various chemical reactions and applications. It has a boiling point of approximately 118°C and a melting point of around 16°C. Acetic acid is widely used in the production of synthetic fibers, plastics, and food preservatives, as well as in the chemical industry for the synthesis of various compounds. It can act as a weak acid, partially dissociating in solution to release hydrogen ions, which contributes to its acidity. Additionally, acetic acid is recognized for its antimicrobial properties, making it useful in food preservation and cleaning products. Safety precautions are necessary when handling acetic acid, as it can cause irritation to the skin and eyes.
