Finding the Amount of Ethanoic acid in Vinegar Plan I am going to do an investigation into the ethanoic acid content of various vinegars. The chemical equation for the making of ethanoic acid is as follows: Ethanol oxidization ? bacteria Ethanoic Acid To do this experiment I intend to do an accurate titration using a burette. Hypothesis: I predict that the amount of acid in the vinegar depends on the alcohol content that you start off with. For example if we decided to use a lot of alcohol then the vinegar produced would be have a lower pH than if we used a smaller amount of alcohol. Prediction: I predict that the vinegar with the highest amount of acid (concentration) in is the distilled vinegar as distilled means to increase the concentration of, or purify. So I think that all the impurities will not be present and so there will be more acid in this vinegar. Apparatus:...
