Vinegar is a solution of acetic acid, CH3COOH, dissolved in water. A 5.54g sample of vinegar was neutralized by 30.10mL of 0.1000M NaOH. What is the percent by weight of acetic acid in the vinegar?
The reaction between NaOH and CH3COOH in the vinegar.
CH3COOH + NaOH → CH3COONa + H2O
Mole ratio CH3COOH : NaOH = 1 : 1
No. of moles of NaOH = MV = 0.1 x (30.1/1000) = 0.00301 mol
No. of moles of CH3COOH = 0.00301 mol
Molar weight of CH3COOH = 12x2 + 1x4 + 16x2 = 60 g/mol
Weight of CH3COOH = 0.00301 x 60 = 0.1806 g
% by weight of CH3COOH = (0.1806/5.54) x 100% = 3.26%
