Looks like the "http://en.wikipedia.org/upload/d/d9/Acetic-acid.png" (acetic acid formula picture) needs another carbon atom.

It's okay.
In organic structural formulas, symbols for carbon and attached hydrogens are usually omitted. That said, actually showing the CH3 on the left bond is not necessary.

Acetic acid's solubility
Is acetic acid lipid(oil) soluble? If yes, is the partition oil/water coefficient known?
Name
As the official name for the acid is now Ethanoic acid, shouldn't we change everything around to reflect this? i.e. change the main article to ethanoic acid and make acetic acid a redirect, and change all the references around?
