What is acetic acid?
Acetic acid, CH3COOH is an organic acid that gives vinegar its sour taste and pungent smell. It is a weak acid, in that it is only a partially dissociated acid in an aqueous solution. Pure, water-free acetic acid (glacial acetic acid) is a colourless liquid that absorbs water from the environment (hygroscopy), and freezes at 16.5 °C (62 °F) to a colourless crystalline solid. The pure acid and its concentrated solutions are very corrosive.

Acetic acid is one of the simplest carboxylic acids. It is an important chemical reagent and industrial chemical, used in the production of polyethylene terephthalate mainly used in soft drink bottles; cellulose acetate, mainly for photographic film; and polyvinyl acetate for wood glue, as well as synthetic fibres and fabrics. In households, diluted acetic acid is often used in descaling agents. In the food industry, acetic acid is used under the food additive code E260 as an acidity regulator and as a condiment.

What is Acetic Acid? Ingredients, Uses and Health?
Acetic acid is a common food additive found in many forms of modern processed foods. Acetic acid is an organic compound with a sour taste and smell similar to vinegar. In fact, it is acetic acid that gives vinegar its distinctive flavor and smell. As well as being found in many foods and condiments, acetic acid also serves a variety of uses in science and industry, from stop baths in photography to solvents. In high concentrations, acetic acid can be dangerous, causing corrosion to the skin, damage to the digestive system and potential death. However, acetic acid in food almost never reaches dangerous or unhealthy levels. More detail click here!

Why is pure acetic acid called glacial acetic acid?
pure acetic acid freezes a bit below comfortable room temperature so that means that when the lab is cold, acetic acid will freeze into pretty white crystal that resemble glaciers.

What is glacial acetic acid and how does it differ from 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.

How to make acetic acid?
Take a vinegar culture and place approximately one quart in a warm container. Then place one quart of apple cider into the container. Put into warm dark place. Leave the liquid in the container for approximately 2-4 months. Remove and place in small bottles.

Who discovered acetic acid?
The biological role of acetic acid was discovered by biochemist Konrad Emil Bloch in the mid-1900s. He found that acetic acid is the primary precursor in the production of body cholesterol. The acetic acid is converted to cholesterol in the liver through a series of 36 chemical reactions. More detail click here!
