CAS 64-19-7 Acetic acid, also known as ethanoic acid, is a type of carboxylic acid consisting of a carboxyl group. It is denoted by the chemical formula C₂H₄O₂. It is naturally present in plant and animal organisms, where it can be found in a free state or in the form of esters and other compounds. It can also be produced on an industrial scale.
In contrast, glacial acetic acid is essentially a pure, concentrated form of acetic acid. This acid is also known as anhydrous acetic acid due to its low water content. It is colourless and highly corrosive.

What's the difference between acetic acid and glacial acetic acid?
Acetic Acid is the general name of the chemical compound (CH₃COOH).
Glacial Acetic Acid is a specific, concentrated form of that compound.
| Feature | Acetic Acid | Glacial Acetic Acid |
|---|---|---|
| Meaning | General name for the chemical CH₃COOH. | Specifically the pure, concentrated form (≥99.5%). |
| Water | Contains water (e.g., vinegar is ~95% water). | No water (anhydrous). |
| Purity | Varies (e.g., 5%, 10%, 80%). | Very high (~99.5%+). |
| "Glacial" Name | Does not apply. | Freezes into ice-like crystals at 16.5°C (61.7°F). |
| Common Use | Vinegar (food, cleaning), industrial solutions. | Labs, chemical manufacturing, pharmaceuticals. |
| Hazard | Depends on concentration. Vinegar is low risk. | High. Corrosive, flammable. Needs full safety gear. |
Summary
Although acetic acid and glacial acetic acid are all derived from the same chemical molecule (CH₃COOH), they differ in terms of concentration and purity. Glacial acetic acid is a highly concentrated, pure chemical and a hazardous industrial raw material.
