Glacial Acetic Acid

Glacial acetic acid is a concentrated form of acetic acid, which is the main component of vinegar. It is a colorless liquid with a pungent smell and is known for its ability to preserve food and add flavor. In its pure form, glacial acetic acid is used in various industrial processes, such as making plastics, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. The term "glacial" refers to its freezing point, which is around 16.6 degrees Celsius (62 degrees Fahrenheit), where it forms solid crystals. Although useful, it can be corrosive and should be handled with care.
