The acetic acid will dissociate as

                     We will use Hendersen Hassalbalch's equation here

pH = pKa + log [salt] / [acid]

Where

[Acid] = concentration of protonated form

5.1 = 4.8 + log [salt] / [acid]

1.99=  [salt] / [acid]

[salt] +[acid] = 0.5

1.99 [acid] + [acid] = 0.5

[acid] = 0.167 M

[acid] / total concentration  = 0.167 / 0.5 = 0.33.4

So percentage = 33.4 % or approx 33 %

What is the percent composition of hydrogen in vinegar (CH3COOH)?​
barxatty [35]

Answer:

                      %H  = 6.72 %

Explanation:

                   Percent composition of an element is the total mass of that element divided by the molecular mass of compound (or molecular mass) of which it is present in.

So,

Percent composition of Hydrogen will be given as,

         %H  =  Total mass of H / Molecular Mass of Acetic Acid × 100

So,

Total Mass of H  =  1.01 × 4 = 4.04 g

Molecular Mass of Acetic acid  =  60.052 g/mol

Putting values in above formula,

         %H  =  4.04 g/mol ÷ 60.052 g/mol × 100

         %H  = 6.72 %
