Notation

The abbreviation ac or AC is sometimes used in the chemical formulas to indicate the ion acetate. For example the formula of the Acétate of sodium could be written NaAc, instead of the more modern formulas CH₃COONa or NaC₂H₃O₂. In the field of the organic chemistry, the abbreviation ac refers to the group Acétyle CH₃CO, acetate is thus indicated there in the form ⁻OAc, the sodium acetate is written NaOAc and the acetate of EtOAc ethyl.
