Product: Acetic Acid

 

Systematic name: Ethanoic acid

 

Molecular Formula: C2H4O2

 

CAS number: 64-19-7

 

Appearance: colorless liquid

 

Solubility in water: Fully miscible

 

Safety:

Concentrated acetic acid is corrosive and must therefore be handled with appropriate care, since it can cause skin burns, permanent eye damage, and irritation to the mucous membranes. These burns or blisters may not appear until hours after exposure. Latex gloves offer no protection, so specially resistant gloves, such as those made of nitrile rubber, should be worn when handling the compound.

Concentrated acetic acid can be ignited with difficulty in the laboratory. It becomes a flammable

risk if the ambient temperature exceeds 39 °C (102 °F), and can form explosive mixtures with air

above this temperature (explosive limits: 5.4–16%).

 

Brief introduction:

Acetic acid, CH3COOH, also known as ethanoic acid, is an organic acid, which gives vinegar its

sour taste and pungent smell. It is a weak acid, in that it is only partially dissociated acid in an

aqueous solution. Pure, water-free acetic acid (glacial acetic acid) is a colourless liquid that absorbs water from the environment (hygroscopy), and freezes at 16.5 °C (62 °F) to a colourless crystalline solid. The pure acid, and concentrated solutions, are dangerously corrosive.

Acetic acid is one of the simplest carboxylic acids. It is an important chemical reagent and

industrial chemical, used in the production of polyethylene terephthalate mainly used in soft drink bottles; cellulose acetate, mainly for photographic film; and polyvinyl acetate for wood glue, as well as synthetic fibres and fabrics. In households, diluted acetic acid is often used in descaling

agents. In the food industry acetic acid is used under the food additive code E260 as an acidity

regulator.
