  Chemical of the Week -- Acetic Acid and Acetic Anhydride
Acetic anhydride is a clear, colorless, mobile (free-flowing) liquid with a sharp odor similar to that of acetic acid.
Acetic anhydride melts at —73°C, boils at 139°C, and has a density of 1.080 g/mL at 15°C. It is flammable with a flash point of 54°C. This compound is readily combustible and represents a fire hazard.
Because acetic anhydride reacts with water, it is sometimes used as a dehydrating agent in reaction mixtures where removal of water is necessary.
