֍ On a technical level, vinegar is a solution of acetic
acid and water. There are many types of vinegar. The main
difference between types is the sugar source — like alcohol,
grapes, apples, or rice — that’s fermented to create each one.
֍ Most vinegars have a pH of 2 to 3 and a strength of 4 to
8 percent.
👨‍🔬 You can test the pH and strength of
vinegar using inexpensive testing kits.
😋 Most [glow=green,2,300]cooking vinegars[/glow] (like
balsamic, red wine, and rice vinegars) have a pH of 2 to 3 and a
strength of 4 to 6 percent. This allows you to add some acidity
to your dish (acting as a counterpoint to richness or adding
sour flavor) without making it taste funky (unless you spill the
bottle into your food… whoops!). It’s not a good idea to cook
with anything stronger than this, because it can straight-up
[glow=maroon,2,300]erode[/glow] 😬 your tooth enamel.

[center]Key Lessons from an [glow=red,2,300]Acetic Acid[/glow]
☠️ Release [/center]
SNIPPET:
On July 27, 2021, three contractors removed an actuator from an
acetic acid reactor. The contractors inadvertently removed nuts
that held a pressure-retaining valve cover in place.
The workers used a pry bar to try to remove the coupler from the
valve stem, and the forces from the pry bar and the process
fluid pressure inside the plug valve caused the unfastened valve
cover and plug to eject from the plug valve body.
[move]Roughly 164,000 pounds of a [glow=red,2,300]61.7% acetic

/>Two of the contract workers ☠️ died from
[glow=red,2,300]fatal chemical burns and inhalation[/glow]. The
other contract worker, and 28 other workers, sought medical
treatment.

AGelbert COMMENT: I learned from a Chemistry Prof in college
that vinegar, even the low strength cooking type, works great to
clean bathtub ring. Any greasy substance can be cleaned up
quickly using a rag and a little vinegar without having to use
so much vinegar that it smells. At any rate, cooking grade
vinegar is FAR more [glow=limegreen,2,300]environmentally
friendly[/glow]

concentration Sodium hypochlorite). 🌞
