Acetic acid and acetate have many similarities and differences. Acetic Acid has an extra hydrogen in its chemical formula. This hydrogen is what makes the molecule an acid and it is the only difference in the molecular structure of an acetate. Acetates formula is C2H3O2, while Acetic Acid’s is C2H402. Acetic acid and Acetate have more similarities than differences in the way that they both produce similar reactions. Acetate is derived from acetic acid which means that both compounds play an important role in each other’s reactions. Acetic acid is also known as hydrogen acetate. | |||
Acetic Acid has a physical form that could also be known as household vinegar. Acetate known through its esters and acetates which create compounds like cellulose and sodium acetate which are used in the textile and food industries. Acetate has many esters and acetates that are used in a variety of ways and in unique food items. Hydrogen acetate or acetic acid is used to create the salt and vinegar flavoring in varieties of potato chips. | |||
