Glacial Acetic Acid/Acetic Acid with chemical formula CH3COOH is a monocarboxylic acid with one "COOH" group. It's an anhydrous, clear, colourless liquid having a pungent smell. Acetic acid is also known as ethanoic acid, ethylic acid, vinegar acid, and methane carboxylic acid. In the diluted form. next to formic acid, acetic acid is the simplest carboxyl group. Acetic acid uses are umpteen, and it is used across several industries.
What Is the Boiling Point of Acetic Acid?
The Boiling Point of Acetic acid is 117.9 °C. At this temperature, liquid acetic acid will convert to a gaseous state under normal pressure.
Boiling point is very important in industrial processes such as chemical distillation, solvent recovery, purification, reaction temperature control, as well as storage and transportation planning. Glacial acetic acid has a relatively high boiling point compared with many other solvents, so it remains stable in most production environments.
What Is the Density?
The density of pure glacial acetic acid at 25°C is 1.049 g/mL (approximately 1.05 g/mL or 1051 kg/m² at 20°C). Since its density is slightly greater than that of water, its exact density varies with concentration and temperature.

What Is Acetic acid solvent Used For?
Industry and Manufacturing
The largest industrial use of acetic acid is in the production of vinyl acetate, a fundamental ingredient in paints, adhesives, and coatings. Acetic acid is also used to produce acetic anhydride, which is used in the production of synthetic fibers and film materials.
Pharmaceuticals and Medical
In the pharmaceutical field, high-purity acetic acid is used in the production of vitamins, antibiotics, and certain hormones. Diluted acetic acid solutions are used to treat ear infections.
Food Industry
As a food additive (labeled E260), acetic acid acts as a preservative and helps control acidity. It is found in pickles, condiments, and many processed foods.
Household Cleaning
White vinegar, a diluted solution of acetic acid, is a common household cleaner. It can remove mineral deposits, degrease, and disinfect a variety of surfaces.
Textiles and Leather
In fabric production, acetic acid helps regulate pH during the dyeing process, allowing color to penetrate the material more evenly.
