Carl Bates · Answer 1

First, determine the amount of vinegar in grams by multiplying the volume by the density. That is,

mass = (355 ml) x (1.01 g/mL) = 358.55 g

Then, multiply the calculated mass above by the decimal equivalent of the given percentage above.

amount of acetic acid = (358.55 g) (0.0602) = 21.58 g
