CH3COOH ..There are 4 hydrogen atoms in this formula. However, vinegar is generally 5% acetic acid and 95% water.
However again, this is 1 acetic acid to 19 of water this will give you 38 more hydrogens ...so, probably you're question is tricky and you're looking for 42 hydrogens .. ?

vinegar is dilute acetic acid by the way. to find the # of atoms what you do is take the #moles x avagadro's number
4 mol. H x 6.23 E23
