HOW IT IS USED IN DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES
For Industries
Solvent
Applications that are Used
Glacial acetic acid is an excellent polar protic solvent,
as noted above. It is frequently used as a solvent for
recrystallization to purify organic compounds.
Acidulant and preservative
Food
Analytical chemistry
Medical use
Vinegar
Glacial acetic acid is used in analytical chemistry for the
estimation of weakly alkaline substances such as
organic amides.
Diluted acetic acid is used in physical therapy using
iontophoresis.
Vinegar is typically 4–18% acetic acid by mass.
