Glacial Ethanoic Acid (Acetic Acid)
Glacial Ethanoic Acid (Acetic Acid) (Product Code: SCI-907/119) is an analytical reagent grade organic acid used to prepare dilute ethanoic acid and to run esterification and weak-acid experiments in school and college chemistry laboratories. Chemistry teachers and lab technicians order it in a 500 ml bottle, and every supply comes with an MSDS for the chemical register. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a laboratory chemicals supplier in India for teaching labs.

What Is Glacial Acetic Acid Used For?
In the teaching lab, glacial ethanoic acid is the starting point for the dilute acetic acid used to compare weak and strong acids: students test equal-strength ethanoic and hydrochloric acid with indicator or a pH meter and see why a weak acid ionises only partly. It is also the carboxylic acid in the classic esterification practical, warmed with ethanol and a little concentrated sulfuric acid to produce the fruity smell of an ester. Diluted portions serve in volumetric analysis against sodium hydroxide with phenolphthalein as the indicator.
The undiluted acid is corrosive and gives off pungent vapour, so dispense it in a fume cupboard wearing goggles and gloves, and always add acid to water when diluting. In a cold store room the liquid can freeze into ice-like crystals, which is where the name “glacial” comes from; let a solidified bottle return to room temperature before opening instead of heating it directly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Glacial Ethanoic Acid (Acetic Acid) used for?
Glacial Ethanoic Acid (Acetic Acid) SCI-907/119 is used to make dilute acetic acid for weak-acid, pH and titration experiments, and as the carboxylic acid in esterification practicals. Its analytical reagent grade suits quantitative work in school and college chemistry labs.
What does “glacial” mean for this acetic acid?
“Glacial” means Glacial Ethanoic Acid (Acetic Acid) is the undiluted acid containing very little water, so it can freeze into ice-like crystals in a cold room. Students dilute it with water to prepare whatever strength their practical requires.
How much acid does one pack of Glacial Ethanoic Acid SCI-907/119 contain?
Each pack of Glacial Ethanoic Acid (Acetic Acid) SCI-907/119 contains 500 ml of analytical reagent grade acid and is supplied with an MSDS. Tell us how many bottles your department needs and we will quote for that quantity.
What is the shelf life of Glacial Ethanoic Acid (Acetic Acid)?
The shelf life of Glacial Ethanoic Acid (Acetic Acid) depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Keep the bottle tightly closed, upright and away from oxidising agents and alkalis.
How should Glacial Ethanoic Acid be handled safely?
Glacial Ethanoic Acid (Acetic Acid) is corrosive and releases strong vapour, so handle it in a fume cupboard with goggles, gloves and a lab coat. The MSDS supplied with SCI-907/119 gives first-aid, spill and disposal guidance for briefing students before use.
Who supplies Glacial Ethanoic Acid SCI-907/119, and can it be exported?
