Concentrated acetic acid is often called "glacial acetic acid". The origin of this name can be attributed to acetic acid's high freezing point. Acetic acid freezes into a solid at a temperature very close to room temperature: 16.5 ºC, or 62 ºF. When it freezes, it kind of looks like ice; hence the term "glacial". Acetic Acid is a colorless liquid that when undiluted is called glacial acetic acid. Acetic acid is the main component of vinegar (apart from water; vinegar is roughly 8% acetic acid by volume), and has a distinctive pungent smell.
