I just told you that acetate smells like acetic acid.  So what do you
think?

Do you realize that butyrate and butyric acid are, in essence, the same
thing?  Butyric acid becomes butyrate upon dissolution in
water.....just like acetic acid becomes acetate upon dissolution in
water.  They're the same thing.....minus a proton.
