Acetic acid, a single-carbon organic carboxylic acid, is characterized by its flammability and corrosive properties, falling under the category of Type II organic hazardous chemical regulations.
At environmental temperatures of 39°C, it becomes a flammable hazard. Pure anhydrous acetic acid, also known as glacial acetic acid, is a colorless solid that attracts moisture and solidifies at 16.6°C (62℉) into colorless crystals. Its solution exhibits mild acidity and significant corrosiveness, while its vapors can provoke irritation in the eyes and nostrils.
