Answers
GPT 3.5
There must be two phases of acetic acid present in the bottle: a liquid phase and a gas phase.
When the stopper is removed and the bottle is exposed to air, the liquid acetic acid will begin to evaporate and form a gas phase. This gas phase is what gives off the strong vinegar-like odor. Therefore, both the liquid and gas phases of acetic acid must be present in order for the odor to be noticeable immediately.
