Vinegar is ________ .

A. Diluted acetic acid

B. Glacial acetic acid

C. Glacial formic acid

D. Diluted formic acid

Answer: Option A

Solution (By Examveda Team)

Vinegar is a common household item used in cooking and cleaning.
It's actually a dilute solution of acetic acid in water.
Acetic acid gives vinegar its sour taste and pungent smell.
Glacial acetic acid is pure (100%) acetic acid, which is a very strong acid and not used in cooking.
Formic acid is a different type of acid entirely, and it’s not what makes up vinegar.
Therefore, the correct answer is that vinegar is a diluted acetic acid.
