Explanation / Answer

Average concentration of CH3COOH stock solution (M) = (1.025 + 1.0125 + 1.00)/3 = 1.0125

Standard deviation of concentration of CH3COOH stock solution (M) =

{{(1.025 – 1.0125)2 + (1.0125 – 1.0125)2 + (1.00 – 1.0125)2}/3] = [(0.0003125)/3] = 0.000104167 =0.010206 0.0102

The standard deviation of the concentration of CH3COOH stock solution is 0.0102 M (ans).

Typical concentration of acetic acid in vinegar (mass %):

The typical concentration of acetic acid in vinegar must be given in your text; you haven’t supplied that information here.

However, look at the footnote; it says to consider 5% (w/w) as the typical concentration of acetic acid in vinegar. Therefore, the typical concentration is 5% (w/w).

We need to find out the concentration of acetic acid in the stock vinegar solution. The molar concentration of the solution is 1.0125 M = 1.0125 mol/L.

This simply means that 1 L of the solution contains 1.0125 mol CH3COOH.

We know that 1 L = 1000 mL and assume the density of the solution to be 1 g/mL (for simplicity sake; no other information is given as well).

Therefore, mass of 1 L solution = volume of solution*density of solution = (1000 mL)*(1 g/1 mL) = 1000 g.

Therefore,

1000 g solution contains 1.0125 mol CH3COOH.

Molar mass of CH3COOH = (12*2 + 16*2 + 4*1) g/mol = 60 g/mol.

Therefore, 1.0125 mol CH3COOH = (1.0125 mol)*(60 g/1 mol) = 60.75 g CH3COOH

Thus,

1000 g solution contains 60.75 g CH3COOH.

Therefore, 100 g solution contains (60.75 g)*(100 g/1000 g) = 6.075 g CH3COOH.

Since the concentration of acetic acid in vinegar is the mass of CH3COOH in 100 g solution, therefore, the mass percent of the stock solution is 6.075% (ans).

Typical concentration of acetic acid in vinegar (M):

Again this information should have been supplied.

We can back track if we assume the typical concentration to be 5%.

Therefore, 100 g solution contains 5 g CH3COOH.

Thus, 1000 g solution will contain (5 g)*(1000 g/100 g) = 50 g CH3COOH.

Since the density of the solution is 1 g/mL, therefore, 1 L solution contains 50 g CH3COOH.

Moles of CH3COOH = (50 g)*(1 mol/60 g) = 0.83 mol CH3COOH.

Therefore, 1 L of solution contains 0.83 mol CH3COOH.

Typical molar concentration is 0.83 mol/L = 0.83 M (ans).

Percent error:

Typical concentration = 5% (w/w)

Stock solution has 6.075% (w/w).

Percent error = (6.075 – 5)/(5)*100 = 21.5% (ans).
