Acetic acid
Acetic acid, an organic compound, possesses several noteworthy characteristics. It manifests as a colorless and hygroscopic liquid, which intriguingly solidifies into ice-like crystals at lower temperatures. A distinctive attribute of this compound is its pungent smell. Furthermore, acetic acid exhibits intriguing behavior; it can be miscible with water, ethanol, ether, and carbon tetrachloride and remains insoluble in carbon disulfide. Caution is warranted when handling this substance due to its flammable and corrosive nature, evoking intense irritation.
