Solution
Acetic acid that contains a very low amount of water (less than 1%) is called anhydrous (water-free) acetic acid or glacial acetic acid. Its melting point is 16.6 °C.
The reason it's called glacial is because it solidifies into solid acetic acid crystals just cooler than room temperature at 16.6 °C, which ice.
