Chapter 15.2, Problem 1RQ
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:Mass percent of acetic acid in vinegar solution made by 33g of acetic acid to 625g of water has to be determined.

Concept introduction:Solution is a mixture in which all components are uniformly distributed. Any solution has 2 substances: solute and solvent. The composition of a solution is determined by calculating various quantities like mass percent, molality, molarity and many more.

Mass percent is defined by formula as follows:

  mass percent=mass of solutemassofsolution×100%

Answer to Problem 1RQ

The mass percent of acetic acid in vinegar solution is 5.015% .

Explanation of Solution

Given information: Mass of acetic acid is 33g and mass of water is 625g .

Mass of vinegar solution is calculated as follows:

  mass of vinegar=massofwater+massofaceticacid=33g+625g=658g

Mass percent is defined by formula as follows:

  mass percent= mass of solutemassofsolution×100%

Substitute 33g asthe mass of solute and 658g as the mass of water in the above equation.

  mass percent=mass of solutemassofsolution×100%=33g658g×100%=5.015%

Conclusion

The mass percent of acetic acid in vinegar solution is 5.015% .
