Explanation: The freezing point of ethanoic acid is $17^{\circ} \mathrm{C}(290 \mathrm{~K})$. When ethanoic acid (acetic acid) is cooled, it freezes to form a colourless, ice-like solid. The solid looks like a glacier and hence pure ethanoic acid are also called glacial ethanoic acid (or glacial acetic acid).
