Business Description

Acetic acid in its purest form is known as glacial acetic acid. The chemical formula for acetic acid, commonly referred to as ethanoic acid, is CH3COOH. It is a weak monoprotic acid that rapidly loses a proton from its acid functional group (-COOH), resulting in the formation of a conjugate base called the acetate anion. Acetic acid is easily dissolved and miscible with other polar solvents, such water, making it a polar protic solvent as well. In non-polar solvents like octane, however, it is insoluble and immiscible due to its polar character.
