Acetic acid belongs to the group of acids and minerals. Acetic acid is one of the carboxylic acids and is known in the IOPAC name for ethanoic acid. The use of acetic acid in chemistry goes back to the ancient times. Vinegar yeast bacteria are known for their tendency to produce acetic acid. These bacteria are found in food, water and soil. Acetic acid is naturally produced from fruits and some decayed foods from the fermentation process and is one of the oldest known chemical compounds in humans. Pure acetic acid is a colorless liquid with a sharp odor, a corrosive and flammable liquid. This acid freezes at 16.6 ° C.
