Glacial acetic acid refers to Concentrated Acetic acid(98 - 100 %). Whereas, the term Acetic acid can refer to any concentrations(25% or 50% or any, even 100%).

answ2. The addition of Glacial to the name refers to the fact that this concentrated material freezes (or appears to do so) at 16.5 deg C.

What is the difference between glacial Acetic acid and acetic acid one - five percent solution?

Glacial acetic acid is concentrated acetic acid at approximately 95% acetic acid with 5% water by volume. 1-5% acetic acid is very weak, being composed of 95-99% water. For reference, glacial acetic acid can only be purchased through commercial suppliers with a valid reason to acquire it while household vinegar is generally a 2-3% acetic acid solution and available in every grocery store.

If 15.0 of glacial acetic acid is diluted to 1.40 with water what is the of the resulting solution the density of glacial acetic acid is 1.05?

You are leaving out some vital information here. Numbers have no applicability to chemical problems unless they have units attached. So, you could have 15.0 milliliters of glacial acetic acid, or 15.0 moles of glacial acetic acid, or 15.0 grams of glacial acetic acid, but you can't have 15.0 of glacial acetic acid, it doesn't mean anything. You have three different numbers in the above question, with no units attached to any of them. Numbers must have units.
