Question

Vinegar is a solution of:
A. 5%- 6% acetic acid in alcohol
B. 5%- 8% acetic acid in alcohol
C. 5%- 8% acetic acid in water
D. 5%- 6% acetic acid in water

Answer 1

Hint: An aqueous of acetic acid is called vinegar which contains 5-8% acetic acid.
Vinegar is a solution of 5-8% acetic acid in water, that’s why it is aqueous (containing water) solution of 5%-8% of acetic acid. Other names are Ethanoic acid or Methane carboxylic acid.

Complete step by step solution:
> The chemical formula of acetic acid is \[C{{H}_{3}}COOH\]or we can write it in two another from that is \[C{H_3}C{O_2}H\] an \[{C_2}{H_4}{O_2}\], acetic acid contain two carbon(c ) atoms, four hydrogen (H) atom and two oxygen (o) atom ,its comes under organic compound because there is carbon’s presence in its chemical formula. Acetic acid is colourless liquid but it is sour in small that’s why vinegar has a sour smell and colourless property in it.
> We can use vinegar for multipurpose. We can use it in cooking for cheese making, to clean the surface, as a stain removal concentrate glass and mirror cleaning and many more due to its acidic property.

The correct answer is C.

> Vinegar is a type of weak acid and Ph value is around 2.6. Now days there are different type of vinegar are available such example are:
- Apple cider vinegar
- Bear cider vinegar
- Cane vinegar
- Balsamic vinegar
- White vinegar
> These vinegars we can use for different purposes and with the name of these vinegar we can assume that these are made from a particular fruit like Apple, Cane, Rice, Coconut etc. All are different in colour and different in taste. Some are sweaters and some are sour in taste.

Note: Vinegar is also known as a weed killer for agriculture the concentrations of 15-20% acetic acid with water is used for making strong concentrations but in general use, the solution of 5-8% acetic acid with 90-95% of it is called vinegar.
