i think the one that would be occurred will be :
Dispersion , (in which particles of one substance are scattered throughout another substance)
Ion-Dipole (created because of electrostatic between an ion and a neutral molecule)

Answer:

Hydrogen bridges, dipole-dipole interactions and dispersion force are present.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

Acetic acid,
CH_3COOH is a polar organic acid which can form hydrogen bonds due the hydroxile group into the carboxyle function group is has.

On the other hand, as it can be partially dissociated a partially positive and a partially negative subsection of the chain could interact with other molecules via dipole-dipole interactions.

Finally, London dispersion forces, temporary attractive force that results when the electrons in two adjacent atoms occupy positions that make the atoms form temporary dipoles,are present due to the same aforesaid reason for the dipole-dipole interactions but weaker.

Best regards.
