Acetic Acid By Pt Sree International

Acetic Acid is a trivial name for water-free acetic acid. Similar to the German name Eisessig (literally, ice-vinegar), the name comes from the ice-like crystals that form slightly below room temperature at 16.7 A C (about 62 A F).
The most common and official abbreviation for acetic acid is AcOH or HOAc where Ac stands for the acetyl group CH3-C(=O)-;. In the context of acid-base reactions the abbreviation HAc is often used where Ac instead stands for the acetate anion (CH3COO-), although this use is regarded by many as misleading. In either case, the Ac is not to be confused with the abbreviation for the chemical element actinium.
