A certain brand of vinegar is analyzed for its acetic acid content by titration with 0.2 moles/liter NaOH. The neutralization reaction is: CH3COOH(aq) + NaOH(aq) --> NaCH3COO(aq) + H2O(l) Here 6ml of the vinegar required 45 ml of the 0.2 moles/liter NaOH to be neutralized. Assume that the density of the vinegar is 1.15 g/ml. What is the % by mass of CH3COOH in the vinegar
