    Citric acid is not Acetic acid. They are two different chemicals. C6H8O7 and CH3COOH.

    Acetic acid does not taste like Citric acid.

    Vinegar can be produced many ways, a lot of which will flavour it (wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar etc), but pure Acetic acid is just strong vinegar (vinegar is usually a 5% to 20% solution).

    Lemon juice is a complex mixture. It is around 8% citric acid.
