Glacial acetic acid is a trivial name for water-free acetic acid. Usually acetic acid containing usually less than 1 percent of water Glacial acetic acid is anhydrous form of acetic acid in which it exists in dimmer form. It's known as Glacial because on freezing it forms needle shape crystals

∙ 12y agoglacial acetic acid is different from acetic acid it contain only 1% water & it help to pulling down the acidity of the solution. that's why it is used in preparation of TAE buffer.it also help in lysis of cell.

∙ 15y agothere are no medical uses to pure GAA, dilute concentrations can be used to remove warts or verucas; it can also be used via iontophoresis to treat bone spurs. Industrial uses include Photography and the manufacturing of aspirin.
It's a general-purpose acid. It has thousands of uses.

∙ 12y agoGlacial acetic acid is a trivial name for water-free (anhydrous) acetic acid. Similar to the German name Eisessig(ice-vinegar), the name comes from the ice-like crystals that form slightly below room temperature at 16.6 °C (61.9 °F) (the presence of 0.1% water lowers its melting point by 0.2 °C).
In statistics, normality are used to determine whether a data set is well-modeled by a normal distribution or not, or to compute how likely an underlying random variable is to be normally distributed.

∙ 11y agoAct as solvent:
-Glacial acetic acid is a poor nucleophile, which indicates a relatively low possibility of causing unwanted substitution reactions.
-Glacial acetic acid is a polar solvent which can solve polar acetanilide.
-Glacial acetic acid is concentrated acetic acid. We can dilute it to whatever degree we want, which is convenient.
-Glacial acetic acid provides acid environment that would not neutralize nitric acid.

What is the colour of glacial acetic acid?
Glacial acetic acid is concentrated acetic acid. It is clear.
How glacial acetic acid soluble in ether?
solubility of glacial acetic acid in ether
Does glacial acetic acid smell the same as acetic acid?
Glacial acetic acid is pure acetic acid, not mixed with water. The smell of glacial acetic acid is much stronger than that of dilute acetic acid. Other than the greater intensity, the smell is exactly the same.
Is glacial acetic acid flammable?
Per the MSDS, yes glacial acetic acid is flammable.
Difference between 0.1 M acetic acid and glacial acetic acid?
Glacial acetic acid doesn't have water in it. Acetic acid ordinarily would be in a solution. Acetic acid is a weak acid, but it can be very concentrated. Glacial acetic acid is a acetic acid of a high purity more then 99.75 %

Is there expiry date for glacial acetic acid?
Generally speaking, glacial acetic acid expires 3 years from the date of manufacture.
Is glacial acetic acid a strong electrolyte?
No, acetic acid is always a weak electrolyte.
If 15.0 of glacial acetic acid is diluted to 1.40 with water what is the of the resulting solution the density of glacial acetic acid is 1.05?
You are leaving out some vital information here. Numbers have no applicability to chemical problems unless they have units attached. So, you could have 15.0 milliliters of glacial acetic acid, or 15.0 moles of glacial acetic acid, or 15.0 grams of glacial acetic acid, but you can't have 15.0 of glacial acetic acid, it doesn't mean anything. You have three different numbers in the above question, with no units attached to any of them. Numbers must have units.
Glacial acetic acid formula?
CH3COOH
What is the physical state of acetic acid?
Acetic acid is solid or in glacial state during winter
Can you use acetic acid instead of Glacial acetic acid?
Yes it can be, but the reaction might be slower
What is the difference between glacial acetic acid acetic acid?
Glacial acetic acid refers to Concentrated Acetic acid(98 - 100 %). Whereas, the term Acetic acid can refer to any concentrations(25% or 50% or any, even 100%).answ2. The addition of Glacial to the name refers to the fact that this concentrated material freezes (or appears to do so) at 16.5 deg C.
