Acetaldehyde to
form Acetic Acid
Acetaldehyde
Sometimes known as ethanol, is
an organic chemical
compound. It occurs naturally in
ripe fruits, coffee, and fresh
bread and is produced by plants
as part of their metabolism.
In chemical industry,
acetaldehyde is used as an
intermediate in the production
of acetic acid and a number of
other chemicals.
Acetic acid
Also known as ethanoic acid, is an
organic chemical compound best
recognized for giving vinegar its sour
taste and pungent smell.
