    The molarity of acetic acid in the vinegar is 0.94 M

    calculation

    Step 1: write the balanced equation between CH3COOH + NaOH

    that is CH3COOH + NaOH → CH3COONa + H2O

    step 2 : find the moles of NaOH

    moles = molarity x volume in L

    volume in liters = 26.90/1000=0.0269 l

    moles = 0.175 mol / L x 0.0269 L = 0.0047 moles of NaOH

    Step 3: use the mole ratio to find moles of CH3COOH

    that is the mole ratio of CH3COOH: NaOH is 1:1 therefore the moles of CH3COOH is = 0.0047 moles

    Step 4: find the molarity of CH3COOH

    molarity = moles/volume in liters

    volume in liter = 5.00/1000 = 0.005 l

    molarity is therefore=0.0047 moles / 0.005 l = 0.94 M
