Abstract
Ethanoic acid, also known as acetic acid, is a compound with many different uses. Acetic acid with the chemical formula CH3COOH is used in the plastics industry as well as in the food industry for preservative purposes with the code number E260. Acetic acid, or vinegar as it is called in the food industry, actually has a high cost and a time-consuming process when obtained naturally. For this reason, it contains the possibility of fraudulent structures by mixing lower cost acids as impurities. In line with the objectives of the study presented at this stage, it is aimed to detect fraudulent structures quickly and practically with a singlepotentiometric titration. During this process, it was investigated whether heavy metal cations; Cu2+, Ni2+, Co2+, Cd2+, Fe3+ and Fe2+, which may be present in the environment, have any interference effect. In addition, the effect of vinegar types obtained from different sources and storage conditions on the limit of determination was investigated with different vinegar types obtained from the market. In this way, the method, which has a low limit of rapid determination and whose applicability is supported by experimental data, has been successfully studied.
