Glacial Acetic Acid Common Uses

Glacial acetic acid is the water free acetic acid, is the undiluted form of acetic acid. Its use depend on the strength of the acid. It is a colourless liquid, with a distinctive sour taste and a pungent smell.
Glacial acetic acid is corrosive by nature and a natural antibacterial agent. It is a polar solvent, and dissolves both polar as well as non-polar compounds such as oils, sulphur and iodine.

Common Uses of Glacial Acetic Acid:

Glacial Acetic Acid is a organic compound widely used as additive in food production. As a preservatives, Glacial Acetic Acid can be used in a wide variety of industries including: food production, beverage, pharmaceutical, agriculture/animal feed, and various other industries.
1. In food industries to improve flavor.
2. In sour drinks to improve flavor and provide the smell of sour.
3. Glacial Acetic Acid is widely used as corrosive in Pharmaceutical.
4. Glacial Acetic Acid is widely used as intermediate in Agriculture/Animal Feed.
5. Glacial Acetic Acid as intermediate in manufacturing of various organic chemicals.

learn more about Glacial Acetic Acid Structure

Because of acetic acid solidifies just below room temperature at 16.7буC (about 62буF); acetic acid can be concentrated by dripping the impure compound over a "stalactite" of glacial acetic acid; the pure acetic acid crystallizes, while impurities run off in the liquid; so that the water-free acetic acid is sometimes called glacial acetic acid.

Glacial Acetic Acid Chemical Formula is C2H4O2: Acetic Acid has two carbon (C) atoms, four hydrogen (H) atoms and two oxygen (O) atoms. Because Acetic Acid has a carbon in its chemical formula, it is an organic compound. Acetic Acid chemical formula can be written multiple ways, as shown here: C2H4O2; CH3COOH; CH3CO2H.

Glacial Acetic Acid Usage:

Glacial acetic acid is frequently used as a solvent for recrystallisation to purify organic compounds, as a solvent in the production of terephthalic acid (TPA), the raw material for polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Glacial acetic acid is a much weaker base than water, so the amide behaves as a strong base in the weakly alkaline substances, that Glacial acetic acid is used in analytical chemistry for the estimation of weakly alkaline substances such as organic amides.
