Formula from Lange's Handbook of Chemistry, 10th ed. log 10 of acetic acid vapor pressure vs. temperature. Uses formula: log 10 P m m H g = 7.80307 − 1651.2 225 + T {\displaystyle \scriptstyle \log _{10}P_{mmHg}=7.80307-{\frac {1651.2}{225+T}}} for T = 0 to 36 °C log 10 P m m H g = 7.18807 − 1416.7 211 + T {\displaystyle ...
The general formula of a carboxylic acid is often written as R−COOH or R−CO 2 H, sometimes as R−C(O)OH with R referring to an organyl group (e.g., alkyl, alkenyl, aryl), or hydrogen, or other groups. Carboxylic acids occur widely. Important examples include the amino acids and fatty acids.
Peracetic acid (also known as peroxyacetic acid, or PAA) is an organic compound with the formula CH 3 CO 3 H. This peroxy acid is a colorless liquid with a characteristic acrid odor reminiscent of acetic acid. It can be highly corrosive. Peracetic acid is a weaker acid than the parent acetic acid, with a pK a of 8.2. [2]
Potassium hydrogen diacetate (CAS #4251-29-0) with formula KH(OOCCH 3) 2 is a related food additive with the same E number as potassium acetate. Medicine and biochemistry [ edit ]
Methyl acetate, also known as MeOAc, acetic acid methyl ester or methyl ethanoate, is a carboxylate ester with the formula CH 3 COOCH 3.It is a flammable liquid with a characteristically pleasant smell reminiscent of some glues and nail polish removers.
Barium acetate is generally produced by the reaction of acetic acid with barium carbonate: [2]. BaCO 3 + 2 CH 3 COOH → (CH 3 COO) 2 Ba + CO 2 + H 2 O. The reaction is performed in solution and the barium acetate crystalizes out at temperatures above 41 °C.
