What is the chemical name of Vinegar?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is 2 i.e. Acetic Acid

Vinegar's chemical formula is CH3COOH, which stands for acetic acid. The usual concentration of acetic acid in vinegar is 4-8% by volume, making it a diluted solution. It is created when bacteria that produce acetic acid digest ethanol. Vinegar gets its distinct sour flavor and strong smell from acetic acid. Vinegar has several uses outside of cooking, including cleaning and preservation.
