Answer:
Ethanoic acid commonly known as acetic acid belongs to a group of carboxylic acids.
Vinegar used in our day to day life is a 5-8% solution of acetic acid in water. It is extensively used as a preservative in pickles.
Pure ethanoic acid has a melting point of 290 K due to which it often freezes in cold climates giving rise to its name as glacial acetic acid.

Esters are produced as a result of the reaction of an acid such as ethanoic acid and an alcohol such as ethanol in the presence of an acid catalyst.
