Esters of Acetate are known as “Acetates” which tend to be more common and well known. Acetate is an anion, or a negative ion. Acetate is very similar to Acetic Acid, but Acetate has one less hydrogen. The chemical formula of Acetate is C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>3</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, which means that it contains two carbons, three hydrogens, and two oxygens. When Acetate combines with other elements it creates, sodium, cellulose, hydrogen, and hydrogen acetate. There are many varieties of acetate and it greatly impacts the earth through creating new compounds and industries. | ||
