Which is more concentrated vinegar ( 5%. W/V) acetic acid or 1 M acetic acid.

1 answer

1 M acetic acid is more concentrated than vinegar (5% w/v) acetic acid.

5% w/v acetic acid means that it contains 5 grams of acetic acid per 100 mL of solution, which is equivalent to approximately 0.83 M acetic acid.

On the other hand, 1 M acetic acid means that it contains 1 mole of acetic acid per liter of solution, which is 12 times more concentrated than 5% w/v acetic acid.
