Acetic Acid 84%

Acetic Acid 84% is a concentrated solution containing approximately 84% acetic acid and 16% water. This high concentration makes it a powerful reagent and solvent with various applications across multiple industries. It appears as a clear, colorless liquid with a strong, pungent odor and is highly corrosive, requiring careful handling. Key properties include a density of approximately 1.05 g/cm³ and a boiling point of around 118°C (244°F). The product also has a significantly low pH level indicating its acidic nature.

In industrial settings, Acetic Acid 84% serves as a key intermediate in the production of various chemicals, including acetic anhydride and acetate esters. Its effectiveness as a solvent makes it useful in extraction and purification processes in chemical synthesis.

In laboratory applications, researchers commonly use it as a reagent for chemical reactions, and titrations, and as a solvent in synthesis. Additionally, they utilize it to adjust pH levels in chemical processes and experiments. In agriculture, acetic acid can serve as an organic herbicide to control weeds, though its high concentration necessitates careful application.
