Answer:
Acetic acid that contains a very low amount of water (less than 1%) is called anhydrous (water-free) acetic acid or glacial acetic acid. The reason it's called glacial is because it solidifies into solid acetic acid crystals just cooler than room temperature at 16.7 °C, which ice.

- On cooling, pure ethanoic acid freezes to form flakes like ice. Since, it forms ice like crystals, that's why it is called glacial acetic acid. It's called glacial because it solidifies into acetic acid crystals at a temperature of 16.7° C.
