Glacial Acetic acid

HS Code : 29152100 | CAS NO. : 64-19-7

General description:

Glacial Acetic acid Formula: CH3COOH

The undiluted form of acetic acid is Glacial Acetic acid(CH3COOH), which is also known as ethanoic acid. It is a colourless, clear liquid with a strong odour. When acetic acid is used as a starting reagent, it easily creates other organic reagents such as ethanol and acetyl chloride through reduction and substitution reactions respectively. Acetic acid can also erode metals, for example, magnesium, iron, and zinc, forming metal acetates and hydrogen gas.

A 5% dilute solution of acetic acid created by oxidation and fermentation of natural carbohydrates is called vinegar or acylal of acetic acid is called acetate.A water-free acetic acid is known as glacial acetic acid. It has no color, and it absorbs water from the environment and becomes a solid, colorless crystalline at 16.7 C.

It is called glacial because it has weak acid property and freezing in the form of needle-shaped crystals. Glacial acetic acid is potentially flammable and strongly corrosive, completely miscible with water and has a low flashpoint.
