Vinegar purity

Determining how to measure and use vinegar and pure acetic acid in reactions is crucial, particularly when calculating the correct amounts to achieve a desired product without excess reactants.

Vinegar purity

Vinegar purity

product of reaction is sodium acetate (salt)

What are you measuring at the end to determine yield?
water and carbon dioxide will be produced
how do we get rid of these?

baking soda

How would we determine the correct amount to use?
no left over baking soda with product

molarity of vinegar

How do I know how much to use of the vinegar and pure acetic acid?
limiting reactant?
baking soda will be left over with product
can we use acetic acid that we know the molarity of?
do we need pure acetic acid to compare?
