The acetic acid will be diluted and the pH of the solution will rise (become less acidic).

Why addition of water to the vinegar does not effect the determination of its concentration in titration?

Yes, it DOES effect the concentration (mol per litre). This is because the volume (of solution, litres) has changed, when diluting, but not the total quantity (just moles of 'reacting' vinegar in the titration).


What is the effect of vinegar on plant growth?

Detrimental and fatal are the effects of vinegar on plant growth.Specifically, vinegar is acidic. Acetic acid keeps plants from absorbing available nutrients and water. In sufficient amounts, it also lowers soil pH to the point that available nutrients become inaccessible for intake -- for distribution upwards -- by the plant's roots.


If you add hydrochloric acid to water what effect would it have on the H plus concentration on the pH?

Hydrochloric acid is HCl. It is a H plus (H^+) donor, and so adding it to water will INCREASE the H^+ concentration. Increasing the H^+ concentration results in a DECREASE in pH.


How do the concentrations of hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion determine whether a solution is acidic basic or neutral.?

acids are substances that release their hydrogen ion(s) while bases grab hydrogen ions to themselves. SO, adding acids will increase the H+ concentration while adding bases will decrease the H+ concetration of the solution. This would be considered a direct effect.


What happens if iron nail is in vinegar?

I had to do this in an experiment this year. I put a galvanized zinc nail in vinegar for two hours. When I came back, I did not notice any change in the zinc nail. After researching online, I discovered that nails are galvanized to prevent corrosion. That is why the vinegar did not cause the nail to rust.

Does vinegar have the same effect on plants as water?

No vinegar is diluted Acetic acid so must have a different affect than water alone.

Does vinegar dissolve in water?

I know that vinegar is 95% water and 5% acetic acid so I think water is just a little bit quicker because I think acetic acid is like a microscopic substance so the vinegar has to also boil the substance where as water doesn't have to.

Does the brand of vinger effect how much gas it creates?

I assume we are talking about the reaction between vinegar and baking soda (or other carbonates) in which the acetic acid of vinegar causes the release of CO2 gas from carbionates. The "strength" of common grocery vinegar is typically 5% acetic acid, so there is little difference between common vinegars. A concetrated acetic acid, like the 15% "glacial" acetic acid used in photography would cause the release of more CO2 per volume of acid, but these and also inorganic acids must be halded carefully.

When washing soda and vinegar combine?

There are two possible outcomes depending on how much of each is mixed. Washing soda is sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) while vinegar is acetic acid (CH3CO2H) in water. If there is more washing soda than acetic acid then the products will be sodium acetate (NaCH3CO2) and sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), also known as baking soda. The reaction will have no visible effect, though there will be a slight increase in temperature. If there is more acetic acid than sodium carbonate, ideally at least twice as much, then the products will be sodium acetate, water, and carbon dioxide. The mixture will bubble vigorously.
