Acetate, | Acetate, C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>3</sub>O<sub>2</sub> is derived and is an ester of acetic acid, which can also be known as vinegar. [[Acetic acid]] is known as [[Hydrogen acetate]], which is a very important organic acid. Forms of acetate occur in various chemical substances. Since Acetate is a chemically created ion, it does not occur naturally in nature. It can however occur as a biosynthesis, which is the most common building block in nature. Instead it tends to combine with other elements to create unique chemical compounds including sodium, cellulose, and vinyl acetate. Acetate usually does not occur by itself, it will most often occur with esters and salts.<ref>Unknown, Author. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetate Acetate] “Wikipedia”. Web.

There are many different varieties of Acetates including the common hydrogen acetate and sodium acetate. Acetate is a neutral molecule and is a negative anion. It will almost always combine with a positive cation in order to create “acetates”. Hydrogen Acetate, which is the compound from which acetate was derived from, is commonly used in household vinegar. Hydrogen acetate was synthesized by a German chemist named Hermann Kolbe. Acetate also occurs with salts to create an ionic compound. Sodium acetate is a common household idem along with hydrogen acetate. | There are many different varieties of Acetates including the common hydrogen acetate and sodium acetate.
