Vinegar is not the same thing as citric acid; vinegar is acetic acid. Acetic acid and citric acid are both weak acids, but citric acid is slightly more acidic.

What brand of vinegar has the highest acidic value?

Rice vinegar has the most amount of acidic value. Its key ingredient is acetic acid (ethanoic acid). Rice vinegar is typically 5% more concentrated than regular vinegar.


Which fruits are more acidic than Vinegar Lemon or Lime?

Depending on the concentration, manufactured acids are, such as hydrochloric and sulphuric.


Is vinegar more acidic than sulphuric acid?

Not at all, but it depends on how dilute the sulphuric acid, but usually no.


Why acid is stronger than base?

Lemon juice is on average five to six percent citric acid. Vinegar, on the other hand, is comprised of acetic acid. In terms of percentage, it depends on the vinegar. White vinegar tends to have seven percent acetic acid, which is a higher level than other vinegars. Slightly milder vinegars, such as balsamic and red wine vinegar, have about six percent, and a relatively mild rice wine vinegar is around four and a half percent. In terms of PH, vinegar is slightly more acidic than lemon juice. but when adding both together the acid in the vinegar react with the acidic in the lemon and the vinegar acid dissolve the lemon acid. so the mis between them is same acidic as the lemon juice, but it depend on what type of vinegar you choice to react lemon with.


What causes citric acid to be an acid?

An acid is a substance with high levels of H+ ions. The higher the concentration of H+ ions, the greater the pH, thus more acidic. Citric acid, therefore, contains a surplus of unbonded H+ ions and that makes it an acid.

What makes vinegar sour?

it depends on how much acid is in a fruit. If there is a lot of acid the pH is low, and the fruit is sour. If the pH is high, the fruit is more likely to be sweeter, and there is little acid in the fruit. The acid that causes the sourness in the fruit can vary, but is in many cases citric or ascorbic acid.


Why is a acid called a acid?

They are acidic due to hydrogen ions. The more hydrogen ions converted from the original solution there are the more acidic it will be. For example Hydrochloric Acid converts more hydrogen ions from (hydrogen + water + chloride) solution than citric acid does from its respective solution...
