Vinegar is a liquid produced by the fermentation of alcohol into ACETIC acid and different fermentation by-products. The acetic acid concentration stages frequently from 4 to eight % by quantity for table vinegar [a million] (frequently 5%) and better concentrations for pickling (as much as c4ca4238a0b92382dcc509a6f75849b8%) besides the fact that throughout the time of a few international places the minimum power could be much less. organic vinegars additionally contain smaller quantities of tartaric acid, citric acid, and different acids.

HCOOH--FORMIC ACID
CH3COOH--ACETIC ACD
CH3-CH2-COOH---PROPIONIC ACID
CH3-CH2-CH2-COOH---BUTYRIC ACID
AS PER IUPAC[CHEM.NOMENCLATURE] FORMIC ACID IS THE SIMPLEST COZ IT HAS ONLY 1 CARBON ATOM
B.T.W.....FORMIC IS DERIVED FROM RED ANTS[LATIN]HENCE THE NAME

acetic. its formula is the same as ethane c-c with the coboxylic group attached. The other three have more carbons.
