Acetate is an ester or salt that has been derived from acetic acid. 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 | Acetate is an ester or salt that has been derived from acetic acid.

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 hydrogen, and two oxygen. 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.<ref>Ferry, JG.

Acetate has various uses within different categories of Chemistry. Some categories include, textiles, salts, and the esters of acetic acid. Acetate can be used to make a fabric with the name of cellulose acetate. Cellulose acetates is a fiber forming substance that resembles cotton. The fiber is made from wood pulp along with acetic anhydride. The fiber is processed and shredded. Once [[cellulose acetate]] is woven into a fabric, it forms a shiny and luxurious sheen. The fabric resembles satin and has a low moisture absorbency which allows it to dry faster. Although the fabric requires dry cleaning, it is a very inexpensive and affordable special occasion fiber.

[[Ethyl acetate]] is a form of acetate that is a colorless liquid that tends to have a subtle sweet smell. Ethyl acetate is often used in glues and nail polish removers. It has also been an ingredient in decaffeinated teas and coffee. Like Acetate, it is also an ester, but ethyl acetate is an ester of ethanol and acetic acid. On the negative side of this acetate, it can be a poisonous insect killer. For humans there is little risk of toxicity, but can cause side effect including irritations.<ref> [http://www.britannica.com/science/acetate Acetate Ester] ''Encyclopedia Britannica''. Web.

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. Acetate's formula is C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>3</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, while Acetic Acid’s is C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>4</sub>O<sub>2</sub>. Acetic acid and Acetate have more similarities than differences in the way that they both produce similar reactions.

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.<ref> [http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-acetic-acid.htm What is an Acetic Acid?] ''Wise Geek''.
