Questions
In English
1. Why does acetic acid solution taste
sour?
2. What are the factors that cause the
acetic acid solution smell pungent?
3. Why does the acetic acid solution
feel rough when it is touched?
Answers
In English
1. Acetic acid solutions taste sour
because acetic acid is an acidic
solution, which has a pH between
below 7 and above 5. Acidic
solutions have a sour taste.
2. The factor that causes the acetic acid
solution to have a pungent smell is
the first because acetic acid is made
by fermentation. Fermentation
carried out with the help of
Saccharomyces cereviceae changes
from sugar to alcohol and then in the
second stage the conversion of
alcohol to acetic acid is carried out
by Acetobacter bacteria. The
reaction that occurs during the
process of making acetic acid causes
a pungent odor. The second is
because the basic raw materials for
making acetic acid are diverse.
However, when diluted the acetic
acid solution still has a pungent odor
but the intensity of the odor
decreases according to the amount of
water that is the solvent.
3. Acetic acid solution feel rough when
it is touched because acetic acid
solution is an acidic solution where
acidic solutions are usually corrosive

In Bahasa Indonesia
1. Mengapa larutan asam asetat berasa
asam?
2. Apa factor yang menyebabkan
larutan asam asetat berbau
menyengat?
3. Mengapa larutan terasa kesat ketika
disentuh?
In Indonesia
1. Larutan asam asetat berasa masam
karena asam asetat merupakan
larutan yang bersifat asam, yang
memiliki pH antara dibawah 7 dan
diatas 5. Larutan yang bersifat asam
memiliki ciri rasanya asam.
2. Faktor yang menyebabkan larutan
asam asetat berbau menyengat yaitu
yang pertama karena asam asetat
yang terbuat dengan fermentasi.
Fermentasi yang dilakukan dengan
bantuan Saccharomyces cereviceae
terjadi perubahan dari gula menjadi
alkohol dan kemudian di tahap
kedua perubahan alkohol menjadi
asam asetat yang dilakukan oleh
bakteri Acetobacter. Reaksi yang
terjadi selama proses pembuatan
asam asetat menyebabkan bau yang
menyengat. Yang kedua karena
dasar bahan baku pembuatan asam
asetat yang beragam.Namun ketika
dilakukan pengenceran larutan asam
asetat tetap memiliki bau yang
menyengat akan tetapi intensitas bau
berkurang desuai dengan jumlah air
yang menjadi pelarutnya.
3. Larutan asam asetat terasa kesat
ketika disentuh karena larutan asam
asetat adalah larutan yang bersifat
 which causes erosion of the surface
exposed to this acid solution, as well
as acetic acid solution feels rough on
the hands because the acetic acid
solution can erode and react with the
oil on the hands. The acid that has
anti-oil properties causes the oil in
our hands to be eroded and will feel
rough.
asam dimana larutan yang bersifat
asam biasanya juga bersifat korosif
yang menyebabkan terkikisnya
permukaan yang terkena larutan
asam ini, begitu juga dengan larutan
asam asetat, rasa kesat pada tangan
disebabkan karena larutan asam
asetat dapat mengikis dan bereaksi
dengan minyak ditangan. Asam yang
memiliki sifat anti minyak
menyebabkan minyak yang ada
ditangan terkikis dan akan terasa
kesat.

Addition Tasks
1. Describe the The macroscopic phenomena of acetic acid solution:
macroscopic and colourless solution
microscopic phenomena The microscopic phenomena of acetic acid solution: contain
of acetic acid solution. ions which are H3O+, CH3COO-, H2O, CH3COOH and also
in this solution occur an ionization reaction that is invisible
by the eyes CH3COOH(aq) + H2O(l)  CH3COO- (aq)+ H+(aq)
2. Describe the physical The physical properties of acetic acid solution are colourless
properties of acetic acid solution, has sour taste, and pungent smell.
solution.
3. Describe the acidity Acetic acid solution has a weak acid pH because acetic acid
properties of acetic acid is partially ionized into H+ and CH3COO-, acetic acid
solution. solution also has a weaker acidity in line with the volume of
water mixed with acetic acid, the larger the volume of water
that becomes the solvent and the smaller the concentration
of acid. acetate, the acidity of the acetate solution will be
weaker. Acetic acid solution is a weak acid the pH range is
between above of 5 and below of 7.
4. Describe the electric Acetic acid solution is a weak electrolyte solution, this is
conductivity of acetic because acetic acid solution is a weak acid where in the
acid solution. ionization process only partial decomposition occurs,
because partially decomposed, the ions produced are not
optimal so that the interaction between ions is little and the
electrical conductivity is weak. In addition, the dilution
causes the concentration of acetic acid to decrease so that
the electrical conductivity is small.
5. Describe the changes of
matter that are occurred Chemical changes occur when a diluted acetic acid solution
on the experiment. becomes CH3COO- and H3O+, H2O, and CH3COOH The
decomposition of acetic acid occurs only partially. The
material change that occurs in the experiment is
CH3COOH(aq) after being dissolved in water it composes
into H+ and CH3COO- ions. The H+ ion reacts with H2O(l) to
form H3O+.
6. Describe the molecular The molecular structure of water:
 structure of water and The molecular structure of water shows that water has polar
acetic acid solution. properties because of the difference in electronegativity
between hydrogen and oxygen atoms, which consist of two
H atoms and one O atom which has a degree between H
atoms and other H atoms of 104.5°

The molecular structure of acetic acid:

In a solution of acetic acid, partial decomposition occurs
into CH3COO- and H+ ions, CH3COO- is surrounded by
positively charged water molecules, while H+ ions are
surrounded by negatively charged molecules. (there are four
chemical species namely CH3COOH (bc this reaction is
half reaction), H2O, CH3COO-, and H3O+

7. Describe the reaction The reaction equation of acetic acid dilution is

equation of acetic acid CH3COOH (aq) + H2O(l) ⇋ CH3COO-(aq) + H3O+ (aq)
dilution. this produce
