What was the molar concentration of acetic acid in the vinegar?

What is the percent of acetic acid in vinegar(chemistry problem)?

  • The molarity of vinegar is 0.992M Calculate the mass of acetic acid (HC2H3O2) I calculated 60.06grams Calculate the grams of acetic acid per liter by multiplying the molarity by the molar mass. 0.992 x 60.06= 59.58 grams per liter. This is the part I don't understand... Convert your answer to a percentage. HINT: right now you should have grams of acetic acid per 1000ml. Move the decimal point so that you have grams per 100ml.

  • Answer:

    If there are 59.58 grams per liter, there are 59.58 grams per 1000 ml (because 1 liter = 1000 ml) and 5.958 grams per 100 ml. In percent terms, acetic acid 5.958%(w/v).
