What is glacial acetic acid CAS 64-19-7?

CAS 64-19-7 Glacial Acetic Acid is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor, widely recognized for its role as a key industrial chemical and a versatile solvent. With a high purity level, it serves as a crucial reagent in the production of various chemicals, including acetic anhydride and acetate esters, which are essential in the manufacture of plastics, textiles, and food additives.

The properties of glacial acetic acid

Physical Properties:

• At room temperature, it is a colorless, transparent liquid with a strong, pungent acidic odor. Freezing point: 16.6°C. Below this temperature, it solidifies into ice-like crystals; therefore, pure acetic acid is often called "glacial acetic acid."
• Boiling point: 118°C.
• It is miscible with water, ethanol, ether, etc., in any proportion.

Chemical properties:

• A typical weak acid (pKa = 4.76), possessing all the general properties of carboxylic acids, such as reacting with bases to form acetates and undergoing esterification with alcohols.
• Corrosive.
• Flammable.
