Chemical Properties Ethanoic acid are weak acids It has sour taste and soluble in water It is poor conductor of electricity
Ethanoic Calcium acid oxide It reacts with a base to form salt and water Calcium + water + Ethanoate Ca(CH3COO) 2 2CH3COOH + + CaO H2O
Ethanoic Copper acid carbonate It reacts with a carbonate to give carbon dioxide Cu(CH3COO) 2 2CH3COOH + + CuCO3 H2O CO2 + Copper + water + Ethanoate + Carbon dioxide
Ethanoic acid It reacts with a reactive metal to give hydrogen CH3COONa 2CH3COOH + + Na H2 Sodium Sodium + hydrogen + Ethanoate
Formation Oxidation of alcohol by the action of atmospheric oxidation O2 2C2H5OH CH3COOH Ethanoic acid Ethanol
Formation Chemical oxidation O2 2C2H5OH CH3COOH K2Cr2O7 Ethanoic acid Ethanol Acidified Potassium dichromate –oxidation agent

Characteristics of esters Ester are sweet smelling compounds which are responsible for many fragnces in flowers and fruits eg bananas, oranges
USES 1. As preservatives eg vinegar 2. Manufacturing of esters 3. Making of others chemicals and drugs
