SUMMARY
The molarity of acetic acid (HOAc) in the vinegar sample is calculated using the titration data provided. The student titrated 22.32 mL of vinegar with 0.5172 M NaOH, resulting in 1.1544 x 10^-2 moles of NaOH. Given the one-to-one mole ratio between HOAc and NaOH, the molarity of HOAc is determined using the formula Ms*Ls = Mt*Lt, where Ms is the molarity of HOAc, Ls is the volume of vinegar, Mt is the molarity of NaOH, and Lt is the volume of NaOH used.
