It is a colourless and pungent smelling liquid.
It has a characteristic sour taste.
It freezes in room temperature to form an ice-like structure, thus is called glacial acetic acid.
It is used to make esters (sweet smelling substances) by the process of esterification.
It reacts with carbonates and hydrogen carbonates and CO2 gas is evolved with it.
I hope this helps!
