What chemical components compounds are responsible for the observed pH of the following?

1. Commercial Vinegar 

2. Feminine Wash

PHO
BAY
Sulfuric acid
Used in the production of
fertilisers, this strong
acid is a chemical found
in acid rain.
Hydrofluoric
A highly corrosive
substancewhich as a gas
is a severe poison and
acts a catalyst in
oil refining.
acid
РНІ
pH2
pH3
C
Cola
Cola contains
phosphoric acid, which
has been linked to the
lowering of bone density
invarious studies.
Lemon juice
Lemon juice is about 5%
citric acid-aweak organic
acid that gives lemons their
sour taste.
pH4
PHS
Black coffee
Levels of acids found in
coffee can be affected by
the altitude at which the
coffeewas grown and
the minerals present in
the soil.
Beer
Various acids are formed
during the fermentation
process in beer production.
The addition of CO also
causes the pH to
lower slightly.
pH6
Cow's milk
Milk goes sour over
time due to the
bacteria producing
lactic acid as part of a
fermentation process.
