Acetic acid is a component of vinegar, but consuming a small amount is unlikely to affect a breathalyzer test significantly. However, consuming large amounts of vinegar close to taking a breathalyzer test may potentially lead to false results due to residual alcohol in the mouth. It's best to avoid consuming substances that may interfere with breathalyzer tests if accuracy is important.

Why is glacial acetic acid designated glacial?

Glacial acetic acid is a trivial name for water-free acetic acid. Usually acetic acid containing usually less than 1 percent of water Glacial acetic acid is anhydrous form of acetic acid in which it exists in dimmer form. It's known as Glacial because on freezing it forms needle shape crystals


A 0.20 mol L of both acetic and acid and sodium acetate has a pH of?

The pH of a solution containing 0.20 mol/L of acetic acid and its conjugate base, sodium acetate, depends on the specific concentrations of the acid and its conjugate base, as well as the ionization constant (Ka) of the acid. To calculate the pH, you need to set up an equilibrium expression and solve the equation.


IS CH3COO-1 a bronsted acid or base?

Well, the first step in Fischer Esterification is protonation of the carboxylic acid.


What is the difference between Neutral cure and acetic cure silicone?

Acetic (Acetoxy) silicone sealants release acetic acid (which smells a little like vinegar) as they cure. The will cure faster but do not stick very well compared to Neutral cure types Neutral (meaning neutral alcoxy) silicone sealants release alcohol as they cure, and has almost no smell, but take about 3 times longer to set up than acetic curing sealants. The do have overall a higher "grip" than Acetic types.


If propylene glycol is used as windshield washer anti-freeze will it set off a car breathalyzer meter?

Propylene glycol is not likely to cause a false positive reading on a car breathalyzer, as it does not metabolize into ethanol which the breathalyzer detects. However, it's best to confirm with the manufacturer or your local authorities to be sure.

Will Denatured alcohol set off a breathalyzer?

Denatured alcohol contains methanol, which can be detected by a breathalyzer as it breaks down in the body. However, the amount needed to set off a breathalyzer would be much higher than what is typically found in consumer products. It is still best to avoid consuming any form of alcohol before driving.


What is the maximum permissible limit of acetic acid in foods?

In using acetic acid for food preservation, the limits are not set so much on the amount used so much as the concentration. Acetic Acid can be irritating and harmful if used in concentrations over 10 percent. Vinegar is perhaps the most commonly known form, and one of the strongest available to the general public. Common table vinegar is usually 4 percent-8 percent acetic acid.

How do you make a 2 acetic acid solution from 5 acetic acid?

Add 2 parts acetic acid 5% (5 acetic acid or household vinegar) to 3 parts water (or sterile water for irrigation depending ont he need) and you will render 2% acetic acid. parts are whatever volume you want. i.e. if you need 50ml of 2 acetic acid; use 20ml of 5% acetic acid and 30ml of water. or you can set up the allogation method as below. Say you nee 50ml of 2% acetic acid and all you have is 5% acetic acid you do the following with a tick tack toe : To get the 3 parts you take the 5 at the bottom and subtract across the middle (2 percent desired) and the difference is 3. To get the bottom right answer (2parts) you take the difference of zero from 2 and the diff is 2. 0% (water) - - 3 (parts water) - 2% (desired) - 5% (AA) - - 2 (parts 5% AA) with a total of 5 parts (3 parts water and 2 parts AA) you multiple your desired amount versus the fraction of parts for each. example 3 parts water divided by 5 total parts equals 60% times 50ml equals 30ml. 2 parts 5% AA divided by 5 total parts eqauls 40% times 50ml equals 20ml.

Is acid reflux diet menu necessary for me to overcome acid problems in my stomach?

There seems to be a bit of controversy on this subject. My advice would be for you to talk with a nutritionist who can help you decide what is setting off your acid reflux. Then create your diet to avoid the foods that set it off.


What is peracetic acid?

Peracetic acid, also called peroxyacetic acid, is an organic peroxide and has the formula CH3CO3H. It forms an equilibrium with acetic acid [CH3COOH] and hydrogen peroxide [H2O2], such that if you mix hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid together, peracetic acid will be formed. Solutions of peracetic acid in water and acetic acid are colorless liquids with a pungent but not unpleasant odor. Peracetic acid, like most organic peroxides, is unstable and can explode at temperatures that exceed 230F as the water is driven off. Therefore, as with any peroxide, operations resulting in heating or evaporating the solution should be avoided. Peracetic acid is a strong oxidizing agent, and finds extensive use in healthcare and the food industry as a disinfectant and sterilant. Peracetic acid is a primary irritant, a mutagen [See NIOSH RTECS database] and so contact with both the liquid and the vapor are potentially hazardous. OSHA has not set permissible exposure levels yet for peracetic acid, but employers should still ensure that employees are protected from exposure under the General duty clause [in section 5 of the OSH Act of 1970 in the US, and similar laws in other countries]. In the US, the EPA has determined acute exposure guidelines for peracetic acid. If using peracetic acid, it is important to ensure that there are adequate engineering controls in place, ventilation and continuous monitoring to prevent vapor exposure, personal protective equipment (gloves, safety glasses, apron etc) and spill kits if there is a possibility of a spill.


What is the IUPAC name of the chemical?

IUPAC is the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemists. They try and set systematic names for chemicals. As an example the IUPAC name of acetic acid is ethanoic acid whereas Formic acid would be methanoic acid. In similar fashion acetaldehyde would be ethanal etc.
