Glacial acetic acid is different from the acetic acid which is supplied in laboratory, as the glacial acetic acid is 100 % water free acid or anhydrous acid while the acid we use in labs are diluted. The "Glacial" name is a trivial name which is given because at it appears like ice-crystals at below room temperature.

Undiluted Since the compound is formed by the sharing of electron, the compound has covalent bonding. It could have a single, double or triple bonding

Explanation:

  • Generally covalent compound are not soluble in water. E.g. plastic. Plastic are water resistant. However there are few exception to these cases like sugar or ethanol. Covalent compound dissolve in organic solvent because they are both non-polar in nature.
  • Acetic acid is glacial acetic acid.
  • Anhydrous acetic acid or 100% water free acid is called glacial acetic acid. While the acetic acid provide in our laboratories are usually diluted form i.e. it contain 0.1% water in it.  
  • The glacial acetic acid is called so as it form ice crystals as soon as the temperature is 16.6 °C. Glacial acetic acid is used as a solvent for re crystallization to purify organic compound. It is a polar solvent.
