Glacial Ethanoic Acid
Glacial Ethanoic Acid (Product Code: SCI-437/183) is the pure, water-free form of ethanoic (acetic) acid, an analytical reagent used to prepare buffer solutions, dilute acid stocks and ethanoate salts in chemistry laboratories. It comes in a 500 ml bottle with an MSDS, a size suited to making stock solutions for a whole department. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for schools and colleges buying from a laboratory chemicals supplier in India.

What Is Glacial Ethanoic Acid Used For?
Most laboratories treat glacial ethanoic acid as the concentrated starting point for their weaker solutions. Mixed with sodium ethanoate, it makes the ethanoic acid–sodium ethanoate buffer used to show how a buffer resists pH change when small amounts of acid or alkali are added. Neutralising it with sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate produces ethanoate salts, and at college level the pure acid serves as a solvent in organic preparations and in freezing-point depression experiments.
Measure the undiluted acid in a fume cupboard using a glass measuring cylinder, and add it slowly to water — never water to acid — when making dilute solutions. The pure acid solidifies in a cold room, the property behind the word glacial, so never warm a frozen bottle over a flame; leave it at room temperature until it is liquid again. Full precautions are given in the MSDS supplied.
Supplier
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, supplies glacial ethanoic acid to school, college and university laboratories as part of a wider range of reagents, glassware and apparatus. Placing chemicals and equipment on one enquiry gives a laboratory a single quotation and one point of contact. Dealers and importers in India and international markets are also supplied.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does "glacial" mean in Glacial Ethanoic Acid?
Glacial Ethanoic Acid is ethanoic (acetic) acid with practically no water in it. The name comes from the ice-like crystals the pure acid forms in a cold room. It is the concentrated form from which dilute ethanoic acid solutions are prepared.
What size is the Glacial Ethanoic Acid bottle?
Glacial Ethanoic Acid under code SCI-437/183 is supplied in a 500 ml pack. Because it is normally diluted before class use, one bottle can prepare a large volume of working solution; tell us how many bottles you need when requesting a quote.
Is Glacial Ethanoic Acid supplied with an MSDS?
Yes. Every supply of Glacial Ethanoic Acid includes an MSDS covering its corrosive and flammable nature, safe handling, storage and first aid. Keep the sheet with your chemical records and follow it when preparing dilutions.
What is the shelf life of Glacial Ethanoic Acid?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so no fixed period is given for Glacial Ethanoic Acid. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and keep the bottle tightly capped so it does not absorb moisture from the air.
Who supplies Glacial Ethanoic Acid?
Glacial Ethanoic Acid (SCI-437/183) is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. The company supplies laboratory reagents, glassware and apparatus to schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets.
What is needed for a Glacial Ethanoic Acid quotation?
For a quotation on Glacial Ethanoic Acid, send the product code SCI-437/183, the number of 500 ml bottles and the delivery location. Flammable and corrosive liquids have transport requirements, so the destination helps us confirm how the order can be shipped.
