I want to ask a question about polar/non-polar (a)protic solvents.
The following information was given to me in the lecture hall today regarding solvents in organic chemistry.
I recall the structure of Acetic Acid as $\ce{CH3COOH}$ but surely given the $\ce{O-H}$ dipole, wouldn't that make Acetic acid a Polar Protic solvent i.e. the $\ce{H}$ attached to the $\ce{O-H}$ can be involved in hydrogen bonding?
Am I incorrect in this instance? Shouldn't $\ce{CH3COOH}$ be classified as a polar protic solvent?
