What is the scientific name for vinegar?

The scientific name for vinegar is acetic acid (CH3COOH) when it is in its pure form. However, the most common type of vinegar found in households is typically a dilute solution of acetic acid in water.


What is the formula of vineger?

Vinegar is primarily composed of acetic acid (CH₃COOH) and water. The concentration of acetic acid in vinegar typically ranges from 4% to 8%, depending on the type of vinegar. Other components may include flavorings and additional acids, but the main active ingredient is acetic acid.


Is vinegar a carboxylic acid?

Yes, vinegar is a dilute solution of acetic acid, which is a type of carboxylic acid. Carboxylic acids are organic compounds containing a carboxyl group (–COOH), and acetic acid has the chemical formula CH3COOH.


Is acetic acid homogeneous or heterogeneous?

Acetic acid is considered a homogeneous mixture when it is in its pure form, as it consists of a single type of molecule throughout. However, when mixed with other substances, such as water, it can form a homogeneous solution. In contrast, if it is mixed with substances that do not dissolve, such as oil, it would be heterogeneous. Overall, acetic acid itself is homogeneous.


How do vinegar and baking soda combine chemically?

Vinegar (acetic acid) has the formula CH3COOH and Baking Soda (sodium bicarbonate) has the formula NaHCO3. These combine in an acid-base reaction (neutralization reaction) to form CH3COONa (sodium acetate) and H2CO3 (carbonic acid), the latter of which decomposes to form H2O and CO2. The CO2 is the reason why there is bubbling and fizzing when the two combine.
