Vinegar and detergent for cleaning

One of the most striking experiments in recreational physics consists of creating a partial vacuum inside a container so that it is crushed by the action of atmospheric pressure. The simplest way to create this vacuum is to replace the air with water vapor and then cause it to condense, resulting in a sharp reduction of the internal pressure. Figure 1 shows the sequence of operations required to achieve this effect with a soft drink can (Shakhashiri 1985).

Another effective method to reduce the internal pressure of a vessel, which is partially occupied by a gas, is to remove that gas by a chemical reaction. The problem is that most of these reactions involve gases that require the use of conventional laboratory equipment to obtain or handle (as is the case with sulfur dioxide, chlorine, ammonia, etc.) and do not always result in such a large and rapid reduction in pressure as in the previous method.

Dangers of white vinegar

You know how much I love salads and I’m surprised I didn’t think to share my basic vinaigrette recipe with you until now. Vinegar and olive oil vinaigrette is a light, zesty, heart-healthy salad dressing. It is great on greens, vegetables and fruits. You can change the flavor by using different vinegars.

This vinegar has a stronger flavor than most, but contains about 5% acetic acid (about the same amount as other vinegars you use for cooking), making it perfectly safe to eat. Now, don’t confuse it with basic white vinegar, which is stronger and contains up to 25% acetic acid.

A classic vinaigrette has a magical ratio: three parts oil to one part vinegar. These days, however, many cookbook authors and recipe developers prefer a more bubbly formula: two parts oil to one part vinegar, or even one to one for a particularly rich salad.
