The benefit is that acetic acid is used as a catalyst for organic reactions, because it won't add a substrate onto a double bond.\n\nThe disadvantage is that glacial acetic acid can cause severe burns and even its mist is a lachrymator (sp).

Lots of good, little harm.  It acts as an antioxidant and has been shown beneficial to the cardiovascular system, and also may help with diabetes and breast cancer.  Note:  By little harm, I mean that none of my sources show any long-term harm.  Only short-term side effects such as stomach upset and headache.

A strong acid, like HCl, might cleave your ethanoic annhydride. That's the only thing I can think of. Phosphoric acid gives you a weak source of protons.

Acetic acid is in about a 4-5% concentration in vinegar. It dissolves out the calcium in the bone, leaving the collagen and thus making it soft.

Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) are found in milk, lemon juice, vinegar, blackberries, grapes, oranges, tomatoes, and apple juice exfoliate the skin by dissolving the glue that holds dead skin cells together. \n\nThey cleanse the top layer of skin, allowing the body's natural emollient oils to reach the surface cells and help moisturize and relieve dryness. They help cleanse oily skin and remove blackheads. \n\nAHA chemical peels of between 20 and 70 percent acidity are available from some doctors, but they are so strong they can leave scars, and the FDA believes that these strong peels could expose the skin to an increased risk of sunburn. \n\nThe ingredients such as organic apple cider vinegar, is an all-natural AHA that you can use at home (avoid the eyes), has seven percent acidity, and is a safe and sure way to get the benefit of fruit acids without danger to the skin (although even at this low level, you should be aware of the increased risk of sunburn). \n\nThe benefits of homemade fruit acids become evident as soon as you start using them; your skin starts feeling soft and smooth. \n\nTo my skin's great benefit I squeeze a lemon once a week and keep its juice in the refrigerator. In the morning, I dab some of the juice on my fingers and pat it onto my face, leave it on for ten minutes or so and then rinse.

Trifluoroacetic acid is a strong acid with a pKa of ~0.2 to 0.3.  Acetic acid is a weak acid with a pKa of 4.75.  \n\nTrifluoroacetic acid is about 10^4.5 (10^(4.75-0.25)) times as dissociated as acetic acid.

It smells like vinegar b/c it has decomposed into salicylic acid and acetic acid. Acetic acid is essentially vinegar. It will still work as an analgesic (pain reliever) but it will no longer have an effect on platelet aggregation - blood clotting. Aspirin will normally  (when not expired) help "thin" the blood - an important role when someone is having a heart attack.  If you give someone an expired aspirin that is having a heart attack, it will not help to save thier life.  Also, since the tablet is now more acidic from decomposition, it can (and most likely will) cause stomach upset.

Because vinegar is wonderful.  It not only keeps our food fresher, it can also get rid of deodorant stains on white t-shirts.
