1 Comparing Vinegar Solution Vs. Regular soap solution as an effective greaser removal. Soraya Gonez Department of Biology 123, Georgia Military College Professor XXXX November 17, 2021 Introduction The objective of this study is to determine the effectiveness of using vinegar as a substitute for dish soap in removing grease. This experiment is fascinating in industrial and household cleaning, where grease removal is a common challenge. Vinegar, a natural and versatile substance, can be used as a highly effective and eco- friendly cleaning agent. Unlike many conventional cleaning products available in the market, vinegar poses no harmful threat to the environment and is safe to use around pets and humans. Furthermore, it can clean a wide range of surfaces and materials. Ivo Iv, the founder of Decor Home Ideas, explained: “White vinegar is indeed a champion for cleaning; its acidity can cut through grease,” lighten stains and neutralize odors. White vinegar is a versatile cleaning agent that is a stain remover for fabrics and carpets when mixed with baking soda or lemon juice. However, I will discuss how white vinegar can remove grease from dishes this time.
2 Vinegar is made by converting ethyl alcohol to acetic acid by a genus of bacteria, Acetobacter. Therefore, vinegar can be produced from any alcoholic material, from alcohol- water mixtures to various fruit wines (Peppler and Beaman 1967). Vinegar bacteria, also called acetic acid bacteria (AAB), are members of the genus Acetobacter and are characterized by their ability to convert ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH) into acetic acid (CH3COOH) by oxidation as shown below: Anaerobic A erobic Glucose – Yeast----------2C2H5OH (Ethanol) AAB------2CH3C00H+2H2O =Vinegar The process of the Vintager
3 Lab Experiment: Method I will be using 250 ml of mixed solution (vinegar) on each greasy plate for 1 hour. Similarly, I will be using 250 ml of regular soap (Dawn) solution on each plate for 1 hour. The grease used on both dishes was extracted from the same source and made of the same material (plastic). Material Needed: 125 mL of white vinegar 125mL of Water. 125ml of dawn soap 125ml of water two empty bottles Paper towels 2 Dirty plates Hypothesis: the white vinegar solution will remove the grease more quickly than the dawn dish soap.
