A 13.82 gram sample of commercial vinegar being shipped to your salad dressing manufacturing plant was analysed by your quality control chemist. She reported that 46.75 mo of 0.2388 moles per liter NaOH solution (0.2388 M NaOH) were used on the titration procedure to determine the percent by weight acetic acid in the vinegar. The supplier swears that the vinegar being shipped is at least 5.050% by acetic acid. Do you believe the supplier?
