Step-by-step explanation:

Uses of Acetic Acid

• Ethanoic acid is widely used in many industries.
• Commercially it is used in the manufacturing of esters, vinegar, and many polymeric materials.
• Vinegar has been shown to reduce high concentrations of blood sugar.
• Used as an agent to lyse red blood cells before white blood cells are examined.
• Used as a solvent in the production of camphor, ascent and cooking ingredient.
• Used as a stop bath for photographic emulsion development.
• Farmers sometimes spray acetic acid on livestock silage to fight fungal and bacterial growth.
