Definitions:

pH

A measurement system to determine how acidic or basic a water-based solution is, with a scale that goes from 0 (highly acidic) to 14 (highly basic).

Acetic Acid

An organic compound with the formula CH3COOH, known as the main component of vinegar apart from water, and widely used as a solubility agent and a reagent in the production of chemical compounds.

Anion

An anion is a negatively charged ion, meaning it has more electrons than protons, which is typically formed when an atom gains one or more electrons.

Acetic Acid Solution

A solution composed of acetic acid, often used in vinegar, with acidic properties resulting from the presence of acetic acid.
