1. A method for preparing a solid form of acetic acid, comprising:
providing a solid acid; combining a metal acetate with the solid acid to form a mixture, wherein a molar ratio of the solid acid to the metal acetate is greater than 1:1; adding a solvent to the mixture to form a slurry in which the metal acetate is in close proximity to the solid acid to allow a chemical reaction to occur between the solid acid and the metal acetate; agitating the slurry for a time during which a chemical reaction occurs between the solid acid and the metal acetate; and drying the slurry to yield a composition comprising acetic acid inside a crystalline neutralized form of the solid acid.
