Acetic acid, CH3COOH, is the component that gives vinegar its characteristic flavor. In the final stage of its production, a quality control laboratory titrates a 50.0 ml (weighing 50.8 g) vinegar sample with 44.5 ml of 0.1 M sodium hydroxide. The reaction representing that process is as follows: CH3COOH (20) + NaOH(aq) → H2O) + CH3COONa (aq) Based on this information, what is the mass percent of acetic acid in the vinegar? O a 10.7% Ob. 5.26% Oc 0.089 % O d. 1.78 % O e. 2.63 %
