Glacial acetic acid at low temperature is a:
Correct answer: B. Ice like solid
- A. Semi solid
- B. Ice like solid
- C. Viscous liquid
- D. Dilute liquids
Explanation
The term "glacial" in glacial acetic acid refers to the icy appearance of the solidified acetic acid.It is a liquid at relatively higher temperatures. At low temperatures below its freezing point, it is an icy solid.Glacial acetic acid refers to pure acetic acid that is in a solid state at low temperatures. Typically, acetic acid is a liquid, but when it is cooled below its freezing point of 16.7°C (62°F), it solidifies and forms a colorless crystalline substance. The pure acid freezes to an ice like solid at 17°C. Therefore, it is also called glacial acetic acid.

About Carboxylic Acids
Carboxylic acids are named and studied through the combined effects of the carbonyl and hydroxyl groups, their preparation, acidity and hydrogen bonding. Reactions include neutralisation, esterification, reduction and conversion into acid chlorides, anhydrides, esters and amides, with emphasis on how these derivatives interconvert.
