Random Important Question

this is a bit random, but does anyone know the pH level for distilled white vinegar

how acidic is it?

10.2ph last time I checked...

very acidic

10.2??? you sure, thats not acidic

I would imagine it would be around 2? 😬 You are aware that PH7 is neutral, above is ALKALI and BELOW is acidic?

yea im aware of that, that's why i was suprised when he said 10.2

is it equivalent to the pH level of stomach acid? if so, isn't distilled white vinegar bad for the teeth?

You could probably find the PH of stomach acid on wikipedia.

The integers for acids are not evenly spaced. There is a much larger gap between 2 and 3 than there is between 3 and 4, 4 and 5, 5and 6.

Car battery acid is 0.

so...it's close to stomach acid correct? wont be exact...

"gastric acid is 2-3 in the stomach lumen"

wikipedia^

yea it's close enough

stomach acid is about 1 or 2, and vinegar is around 2 or 3

and yes, it's bad for your teeth, but then again so is lemon juice (2) and beer (3)

Use lime, rather than acid. 🙄

😐

to be exact...it's 4.76

my own brain...altough i apologise that i cant provide a link...at least not with existing technology

wikipedia agrees

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetic_acid

its in the properties list at the side under acidity pKa

shit so it's not close to stomach acid 😬

edit: i checked the link, it's only for vinegar, not distilled white vinegar

stomach acids between 1 and 2 and is dependant on the bodies homeostasis and is hydrochloric

the difference primarily being that stomach acid is a strong acid and concentrated ethananoic acid is a weak acid

the difference between strong and weak is how they dissociate in water...this means at the rate they give off hyrdogen ions...and whether or not equilibria are set up

HCl fully dissociates to a completed reaction wheras ethanoic sets up an equilibria and thus isn't as corrosive

now hydrofluoric acid...thats fun...it actually goes deep into the skin before dissociating...this means that there is initially no pain...you wouldn't even notice it until it dissolved most of your skin off the affected area

even better when its diluted as it causes immense pain...but does hardly any damage 😈

if you want to go really silly...i suggest you look up Fluoroantimonic acid

😈 im getting ideas here 😈

thanks for info 👆

doesn't matter...vinegar of any type...be it white wine vineger or whatever..they are all forms of ethanoic acid which forms from the oxidation of ethanol...

thus in the distilled (concentrated) form...they are all concentrated ethanoic acid...which is what the link it for
