The main physical properties are that Organic solvent glacial Acetic Acid is a colorless liquid with a strong pungent sour taste at room temperature, with a melting point of 16.6°C (289.6 K), a boiling point of 117.9°C (391.2 K), a relative density of 1.05, and a flash point of 39 ℃, the explosion limit is 4% ~ 17% (volume), pure acetic acid will freeze into ice crystals below the melting point, easily soluble in water and ethanol, its aqueous solution is weakly acidic, and acetate is also soluble in water.
Its chemical properties are mainly its acidity. Organic solvent glacial Acetic Acid is a hydrophilic protonated solvent with a dielectric constant of 6.2. It can dissolve not only polar compounds, such as inorganic salts and sugars, but also non-polar compounds, such as oils. class or molecules of some elements, such as sulfur and iodine. It can also be mixed with many polar or non-polar solvents, such as water, chloroform, hexane, and acetic acid. The solubility and miscibility make it a widely used chemical in chemical industry.
Organic solvent glacial Acetic Acid is corrosive to many metals, such as iron, magnesium and zinc, reacting to form hydrogen and metal acetates. Aluminum containers can be used to transport acetic acid because aluminum forms a protective layer of aluminum oxide on its surface in the air. metal acetates can also be reacted with acetic acid and the corresponding basic species.
