Properties of Ethanoic Acid

Ethanoic acid commonly known as acetic acid belongs to a group of carboxylic acids.
Vinegar used in our day to day life is a 5-8% solution of acetic acid in water. It is extensively used as a preservative in pickles.

Pure ethanoic acid has a melting point of 290 K due to which it often freezes in cold climates giving rise to its name as glacial acetic acid.
Esterification reaction:

Esters are produced as a result of the reaction of an acid such as ethanoic acid and an alcohol such as ethanol in the presence of an acid catalyst.

Reaction with a base

Ethanoic acid reacts with base leading to the production of salt and water. For example, it reacts with sodium hydroxide to give salt of sodium ethanoate or commercially known as sodium acetate and water.
