[News & Trends]:The difference and application between acetic acid and acetic acid

Acetic acid and acetic acid are two common chemicals that are frequently encountered in daily life. Although they are similar in name, they actually have different properties and uses


The difference in chemical composition is that acetic acid is an oxidation product of ethyl alcohol, with the chemical formula CH3COOH; Acetic acid is a common name for acetic acid, and its chemical formula is also CH3COOH. That is to say, there is no difference in molecular structure between acetic acid and acetic acid, only a slight difference in terms of terms


Acetic acid and acetic acid have different applications. Acetic acid is mainly used as a chemical raw material in industry and can be used to prepare chemical products such as vinyl acetate and acetate fibers. In addition, acetic acid can also serve as a dehydrating agent, solvent, and catalyst, playing a role in fields such as dyes, coatings, and pharmaceuticals. Acetic acid is mainly used in the food and beverage industry as a food acidifier and preservative. In daily life, the vinegar we use mostly refers to acetic acid


In addition, acetic acid and acetic acid also have different properties. Acetic acid is a colorless, pungent liquid that is volatile. The crystalline form of pure acetic acid is called glacial acetic acid, with a melting point of 16.7 ℃. Acetic acid, on the other hand, is an organic acid that appears as a colorless to light yellow transparent liquid with an irritating odor and is flammable. Its aqueous solution is acidic. Due to their different chemical properties and uses, acetic acid and acetic acid also have different requirements during storage and transportation


Overall, there are certain differences in chemical composition, usage, and properties between acetic acid and acetic acid. When selecting and using, it is necessary to distinguish according to specific needs. In the field of chemical industry, acetic acid is widely used in chemical raw materials and industrial production; In the food industry, the commonly used acetic acid is used for seasoning and preservation. I hope this article can help everyone better understand the differences between acetic acid and acetic acid, as well as their applications in different fields.
