why it name so?

The term “glacier” comes from the French word glace (glah-SAY), which means ice. Glaciers are often called“rivers of ice.” Glaciers fall into two groups: alpine glaciers and ice sheets. Alpine glaciers form on mountainsides and move downward through valleys

what is glacial acetic acid?

Acetic acid, systematically named ethanoic acid, is a colourless liquid organic compound with the chemical formula CH₃COOH. When undiluted, it is sometimes called glacial acetic acid. Vinegar is no less than 4% acetic acid by volume, making acetic acid the main component of vinegar apart from water.


tow uses!

Acetic acid has been used for centuries in food production, manufacturing, cleaning, and even medical purposes. Generally, undilutedglacial acetic acid has no medical use, but a review of the literature reveals that acetic acid in diluted concentrations has been used for a variety of indications.
