CH3COOH is a colorless liquid at room temperature. Its melting point is 16 ̊C (60.8 ̊F), boiling point 118 ̊C (244.4 ̊F), density 1.05 g/cm3. Acetic acid is a weak acid. It has a sour taste and pungent smell.
Example Reactions:
• CH4O + CO = CH3COOH
• CH4 + CO2 = CH3COOH
• CH3CH2OH + O2 = H2O + CH3COOH
• NaHCO3 + CH3COOH = H2O + CO2 + NaCH3COO
• CH3COOH + NaOH = NaCH3COO + H2O
• CH3COOH + 2O2 = 2CO2 + 2H2O
• C7H6O3 + C4H6O3 = C9H8O4 + CH3COOH
• NaHCO3 + CH3COOH = NaCH3COO + H2O + CO2
• C6H7NO + C4H6O3 = C8H9NO2 + CH3COOH
• NaHCO3 + CH3COOH = NaCH3COO + H2CO3
