Question

Vinegar dissolves in water. State whether the statement is True (or) False.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Polar molecules

• A polar molecule is one that has a slight positive charge on one end and a slight negative charge on the other.
• A polar molecule is a diatomic compound, such as hydrogen fluoride$\left(\mathrm{HF}\right)$.
• In water, polar molecules can dissolve.
• Since water is a polar molecule, it may interact with other polar molecules.

Vinegar dissolves in water

• Since vinegar is polar, its molecules are attracted to water molecules and are referred to as "hydrophilic."
• It can be mixed with water.
• Technically, it doesn't dissolve; instead, it mixes with water to create a homogenous solution.
• Due to its strong polarity, water mixes well with other polar substances to produce a homogenous solution.
• Since vinegar is hydrophilic by nature, it absorbs water at the molecular level rather than dissolving in it.

Therefore, the given statement “Vinegar dissolves in water” is true.
