Q. What is the chemical name of vinegar?
Answer:
Acetic Acid
Notes: Vinegar is a liquid consisting of about 5–20% acetic acid (CH3COOH), water, and other trace chemicals. Acetic acid is the major characterizing component of vinegar. Its concentration determines the stren-gth of the vinegar, a value termed ‘grain strength,’ which is equal to 10 times the acetic acid concentration.
