A student’s experiment showed that her egg gained mass overnight with the vinegar and distilled water. She had about a +1% chang
e for distilled water. She had hypothesized that the egg’s mass would not change significantly with vinegar. She concluded that her hypothesis about vinegar was not supported because it did change in mass. Her teacher told her that the data indicated that her hypothesis was supported, especially with the 10% change for the distilled water. What did the teacher mean?
Acetic acid is 60.05 grams/mole. In 1 liter of vinegar or 1000 ml there would be 0.046% of acetic acid = 46 ml x 1.005g/ml = 46.23 grams/60.05 grams= 0.77 moles per litre of vinegar.This then would be the concentration of acetic acid in for example 1 liter of vinegar.
