Ethanol and ethanoic acid(only properties and uses)soap and detergent explaination
Answers
Answer:
Ethanoic acid is sour in taste. Other lower carboxylic acids are also sour in taste.
● Ethanoic acid has boiling point 391 K. Carboxylic acids have higher boiling points than corresponding alcohols, aldehydes and ketones.
●Acetic acid is soluble in water, i.e., it is miscible with water in all proportions.
Explanation:
In order to perform as detergents (surface-active agents), soaps and detergents must have certain chemical structures: their molecules must contain a hydrophobic (water-insoluble) part, such as a fatty acid or a rather long chain carbon group, such as fatty alcohols or alkylbenzene.

Ethanol properties :- Ethanol is a volatile, colorless liquid that has a slight odor. It burns with a smokeless blue flame that is not always visible in normal light. The physical properties of ethanol stem primarily from the presence of its hydroxyl group and the shortness of its carbon chain.
Ethanol uses :- The alcohol that we drink is simply ethanol. It is also used as a fuel. It burns in air to give carbon dioxide and water and can be used in combination with gasoline (petrol).
Ethanoic Acid properties :- Ethanoic or acetic acid is used in making dyes, pigments, and paint and coating additives. It is used in printing on fabric. It is a component of wood glue and other sealants. Acetic acid is also used as a cleaning and degreasing solvent
