What is acetic acid?

Acetic acid, also known as ethanoic acid, is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH₃COOH. Naturally present in vinegar, it is widely used as a key intermediate in the production of plastics, solvents, food additives, adhesives, and textiles. It is a clear, colourless liquid with a strong, pungent smell. Acetic acid is highly miscible with water and many organic solvents, making it essential in countless chemical processes.
