Short description:	Acetic acid is the compound responsible for the pungent characteristic odor and sour taste of vinegar.
IUPAC name:	Ethanoic acid
Layman's explanation:	Acetic Acid commonly associated with vinegar; it is the most commercially important organic acid and is used to manufacture a wide range of chemical products, such as plastics and insecticides.
