What is the difference between Ethanol & ethanoic acid
Some IUPAC DETAILS ABOUT ETHANOL• Its IUPAC name is Ethanol or
commonly known as Ethyl Alcohol.• It has functional group -OH, known
as Hydroxyl Group.• Hydroxyl Group mainly represents
the Alcohol group. • Note : Functional group is the group
of atom which largely determines its chemical property.
SOME IUPAC DETAILS ABOUT ETHANOIC ACID• Its IUPAC name is Formic Acid (OR
Acetic Acid)• It has fuctional group -COOH,
known as Carboxyl group.• Carboxyl group mainly represents
Carboxylic Acids.• Note : 5-8 % of acetic acid known as
Vinegar which is widely used as preservatives in food.
