Question

Vinegar is a solution of

• A. 50% acetic acid in ethanol
• B. 10% of acetic acid in ethanol
• C. 6% acetic acid in water
• D. 50% acetic acid in water

Answer 1

The correct option is C

6% acetic acid in water

The aqueous solution of Ethanoic acid $\left({\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{COOH}\right)$ or Acetic acid in small amounts is called vinegar.

Vinegar consists of $5-8\%$ volume of Acetic acid in an aqueous solution.

The production of vinegar is completed by the alcohol fermentation with bacterial acetic acid.

Vinegar is a solution of $6\%$ Acetic acid in Water$\left({\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\right)$.

Final answer:

Hence, option (C) is the correct option.
