Help? I need a describtion for the material acetate for my graphics coursework. All I am able to say at the moment is that it's transparent. Does anyone know whether it a plastic?
IMHO, this article is erronous when it ascribes the abbreviation Ac to acetate. Ac is in fact the abbreviation for acetyl; acetate therefore is AcO. Source: IUPAC recommendations. Physchim62 08:52, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
I was under the impression that acetate was C2H302(-1). What's up?
The page keeps being vandalized, someone keeps adding the line "Poopy in your face", and for some reason the chart and table describing the molecular structure of acetate has disappeared. Ovni ( talk) 21:16, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
Is that bit really nescassary? The two words are quite different. They only share the same first two letters, so that would be like confusing "click" with "claustrophobic" Alecjw ( talk) 09:15, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
Ah yeah, good point, I hadn't thought of that. Searching "Ac" gets you to a disambiguation page anyway, so yeah. It's a bit like that annoying new element, Cp. Cp means cyclopentadienyl, but noone cares about copernicium, so it should be alright Alecjw ( talk) 10:13, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
It's listed as pronounced /ˈæsɪteɪt/ but I've always said/heard pronounced /ˈæsɛteɪt/. Am I alone on this? Attys ( talk) 02:16, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
Acetate fermentation releases 36KJ per molecule ???? All the pertaining Wikipedia pages quote the same statistic. 66.235.38.214 ( talk) 18:01, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
Looks about right. What's the problem? -- Rifleman 82 ( talk) 18:23, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
The esters section lists "acetate discs" as an example. Acetate discs are coated with nitrocellulose, not acetate. The acetate disc article confirms this but I put this in talk as I'm not a chemist and somebody with more expertise should verify this and correct.
A better example of use would be eyeglass frames. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Babaluma ( talk • contribs) 18:03, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
