One mole NaOH reacts with one mole acetic acid.
So, the number of moles of acetic acid is equal to the number of moles of NaOH.
Moles of NaOH = Volume of NaOH x Molarity of NaOH = 22.5 mL x 0.2 M = 4.5 mmol
So, the number of moles of acetic acid is 4.5 mmol.
Molarity of acetic acid = moles of acetic acid/volume of vinegar = 4.5 mmol / 1.00 mL = 4.5 M
Mass of acetic acid = moles of acetic acid x molar mass of acetic acid
= 4.5 mmol x (60.05 g/mol) = 270 mg = 0.270 g
% of acetic acid in vinegar =( mass of acetic acid / volume of vinegar)x100
= 0.270 g/1.00 mL) x100
= 27%
