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.
