Answer:
Explanation:
Florine has the highest electronegativity and it thus pulls the element of groups in the COOH group towards itself, making it relatively easy to loose the proton of the carboxyl group.

Explanation:
Let us assume that total mass of the solution is 100 g. And, as it is given that acetic acid solution is 12% by mass which means that mass of acetic acid is 12 g and 88 g is the water.
Now, calculate the number of moles of acetic acid as its molar mass is 60 g/mol.
No. of moles =
=
= 0.2 mol
Molarity of acetic acid is calculated as follows.
Density =
1 g/ml =
volume = 100 ml
Hence, molarity =
=
= 2 mol/l
As reaction equation for the given reaction is as follows.
So, moles of NaOH = moles of acetic acid
Let us suppose that moles of NaOH are "x".
(as 1 L = 1000 ml)
x = 20 L
Thus, we can conclude that volume of NaOH required is 20 ml.
