I-acetic acid lulwelo olungenambala olunevumba elinamandla nelirhabaxa. Inendawo yokunyibilika eyi-16.6°C, indawo yokubila eyi-117.9°C, kunye noxinano oluhambelanayo lwe-1.0492 (20/4°C), nto leyo eyenza ukuba ibe nkulu kunamanzi. Isalathisi sayo sokurhawuzelela yi-1.3716. I-acetic acid ecocekileyo iyaqina ibe yinto eqinileyo efana nomkhenkce engaphantsi kwe-16.6°C, yiyo loo nto idla ngokubizwa ngokuba yi-glacial acetic acid. Inyibilika kakhulu emanzini, kwi-ethanol, kwi-ether nakwi-carbon tetrachloride.

I-acetic acid ithengiswa kumazwe amaninzi, idatha iyafumaneka, kwaye amaxabiso ancitshisiweyo anokufunyanwa ngokucofa apha.
