There are many more acetates including vinyl, sodium, hydrogen acetate. Hydrogen acetate (or acetic acid) is the simplest form of acetate. Acetic acid is also a colorless liquid and has one more hydrogen the acetate. Acetate is derived from acetic acid. It is commonly used in vinegar. | There are many more acetates including vinyl, sodium, hydrogen acetate. Hydrogen acetate (or acetic acid) is the simplest form of acetate.

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 and acetate have many similarities and differences. Acetic Acid has an extra hydrogen in its chemical formula.
