Question

If a bottle of household vinegar contains 4.25% acetic acid by volume and has a density of 0.95 g/ml at 25 c and acetic acid has a density of 1.05 g/ml

a. What is the percent ionization of the acetic acid

b. What is the ph of the solution

c. What happens to the percent ionization and to the ph if the solution is diluted to 2.0% acetic acid by volume?

Answer 1

Reaction of sodium with water. Sodium metal reacts rapidly with water to form a colourless solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). ... The reaction is exothermic. During the reaction, the sodium metal may well become so hot that it catches fire and burns with a characteristic orange colour.
