The strength of an acid is not related to its solubility in water. It depends upon the extent of its dissociation, that is, upon the value of alpha. For acetic acid, alpha is quite small. This means that it is weekly dissociated in water and is a weak acid. Acetic acid is an organic acid which contains hydrogen and carbon. So, it comes in the category of carboxylic acid. It is also a hydrocarbon
