- Acetic acid has many functions, but it is mostly used as a chemical reagent, fungicide, herbicide, microbiocide, pH adjuster, counterirritant, and solvent in a variety of industries, including, but not limited to food, agriculture, cleaning, and cosmetics.
Uses of Acetic Acid
Ethanoic acid is a very important organic compound in the day-to-day lives of humans. Some important uses of acetic acid are listed below.
- Acetic acid is used as an antiseptic due to its antibacterial qualities
- The manufacture of rayon fibre involves the use of ethanoic acid.
- Medically, acetic acid has been employed to treat cancer by its direct injection into the tumour.
- Being the major constituent of vinegar, it finds use in the pickling of many vegetables.
- The manufacture of rubber involves the use of ethanoic acid. It is also used in the manufacture of various perfumes.
- It is widely used in the production of VAM (vinyl acetate monomer).
- When two molecules of acetic acid undergo a condensation reaction together, the product formed is acetic anhydride.
Acetic Acid as a Solvent
In its liquid state, CH3COOH is a hydrophile (readily dissolves in water) and also a polar, protic solvent. A mixture of acetic acid and water is, in this manner, similar to a mixture of ethanol and water. Acetic acid also forms miscible mixtures with hexane, chloroform, and several oils. However, it does not form miscible mixtures with long-chain alkanes (such as octane).
The desirable solvent properties of acetic acid, along with its ability to form miscible mixtures with both polar and non-polar compounds, make it a very important industrial solvent. It is widely used in the industrial preparation of dimethyl terephthalate (DMT).
Thus, the general properties, uses, and structure of acetic acid are discussed briefly in this article. To learn more about acetic acid and the properties of the carboxyl group found in carboxylic acids, register with BYJU’S and download the mobile application on your smartphone.
Frequently Asked Questions-FAQs
What is acetic acid used for?
The most popular application of acetic acid is its use in vinegar. It is also extremely useful in the production of the vinyl acetate monomer (often abbreviated to VAM). This monomer is an important prerequisite in the production of paints and adhesives.
Is acetic acid a strong acid?
No, CH3COOH is a weak acid. It undergoes complete dissociation only when it is reacted with a strong base. Hydrochloric acid is a much stronger acid than acetic acid.
How can acetic acid be prepared?
It can be prepared by reacting methanol with hydrogen iodide and adding carbon monoxide to the product (methyl iodide) in order to obtain acetyl iodide. Upon hydrolysis, acetyl iodide yields acetic acid.
Is acetic acid a vinegar ?
Vinegar is a solution of acetic acid in water and contains between 5% to 8% ethanoic acid by volume.
Is acetic acid harmful to humans ?
Exposure to more concentrated solutions of acetic acid (>25%) can cause corrosive damage. Breathing vapours with high levels of acetic acid can cause irritation of eyes, nose and throat, cough, chest tightness, headache, fever and confusion
