Acetic acid is an organic carboxylic acid. It is a hygroscopic liquid with a pungent odor. Glacial acetic acid is anhydrous acetic acid. It forms dimers with hydrogen bonds in solution and with gases usually called phases. It is weakly acidic.
Application
Acetic acid is widely used as a solvent for various oxidation reactions. It can be used for electron transfer (ETD) dissociation tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) analysis of synthetic peptides. It can react with hydrogen peroxide (30% hydrogen peroxide) to prepare peracetic acid (disinfectant).
