Example Question #1 : Analyzing Solids

Household vinegar contains the organic compound acetic acid with chemical formula, $CH_{3}COOH$ $\displaystyle CH_{3}COOH$. If a 10.00 g $\displaystyle 10.00 g$ vinegar sample contains $0.1024\ moles$ $\displaystyle 0.1024\ moles$ of acetic acid, calculate the percent (mass/mass) of the $CH_{3}COOH$ $\displaystyle CH_{3}COOH$ in the vinegar sample.

Density of vinegar is the following:

$CH_{3}COOH=1.05\frac{g}{mL}$ $\displaystyle CH_{3}COOH=1.05\frac{g}{mL}$

Possible Answers:

$12.8\%$ $\displaystyle 12.8\%$

$75\%$ $\displaystyle 75\%$

$61.5\%$ $\displaystyle 61.5\%$

$3.3\%$ $\displaystyle 3.3\%$

Correct answer:

$61.5\%$ $\displaystyle 61.5\%$

Explanation:

Convert the moles of $CH_{3}COOH$ $\displaystyle CH_{3}COOH$ to grams:

$0.1024\ moles \times \frac{60.05g}{mole}=6.1491g\ CH_{3}COOH$ $\displaystyle 0.1024\ moles \times \frac{60.05g}{mole}=6.1491g\ CH_{3}COOH$

To calculate the percentage of $CH_{3}COOH$ $\displaystyle CH_{3}COOH$ in the vinegar we need to use the following formula:

$\%CH_{3}COOH=\frac{grams\ of\ CH_{3}COOH}{grams\ of\ vinegar}$ $\displaystyle \%CH_{3}COOH=\frac{grams\ of\ CH_{3}COOH}{grams\ of\ vinegar}$

Therefore,

$\frac{6.15g}{10.00g}\times 100=61.5\%\ CH_{3}COOH$ $\displaystyle \frac{6.15g}{10.00g}\times 100=61.5\%\ CH_{3}COOH$
