Answer:

3.26 % of vinegar is acetic acid

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of the sample = 5.54 grams

Volume of NaOH = 30.10 mL

Molarity of NaOH = 0.100M

Step 2: The balanced equation

CH3COOH + NaOH → CH3COONa + H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles NaOH

Moles NaOH = volume * molarity

Moles NaOH = 0.03010 L * 0.100M

Moles NaOH = 0.00301 moles NaOH

Step 4: Calculate moles CH3COOH

For 1 mol NaOH we need 1 mol CH3COOH

For 0.00301 moles NaOH we nee 0.00301 moles CH3COOH

Step 5: Calculate mass CH3COOH

Mass CH3COOH = moles CH3COOH * molar mass CH3COOH

Mass CH3COOH = 0.00301 moles * 60.05 g/mol

Mass CH3COOH = 0.1808 grams

Step 6: Calculate percent by weight of acetic acid

Mass % = ( 0.1808 / 5.54 ) *100%

Mass % = 3.26 %

3.26 % of vinegar is acetic acid

How do waves interact with matter ?
velikii [3]
Waves interact with matter in several ways. The interactions occur when waves pass from one medium to another. Besides bouncing back like an echo, waves may bend or spread out when they strike a new medium. These three ways that waves may interact with matter are called reflection, refraction, and diffraction.
