CH3COOH (acetic acid) is not considered Arrhenius acid because it is a weak acid that does not completely dissociate in water to produce H+ ions. Arrhenius acids are defined as substances that dissociate in water to produce H+ ions. Acetic acid only partially ionizes in water, forming both H+ ions and CH3COO- ions.
