Can acetic acid and acetic anhydride be together or does that make a different chemical alltogether?

It's just speculation but I don't think it would cause any problems. It would even be a nice reagent for acetate esters, because the anhydride would
react with the water formed in the reaction so it could be made a one-way reaction for making acetate esters.

Acetic anhydride will remove water from the acetic acid, making more acetic acid.
1 O(CH3CO)2 + 1 H2O -> 2 CH3COOH
If the acetic acid is glacial (anhydrous), no reaction will occur.

Acetic oleum? Looks good for esterification.
Smells like ammonia....
