Correct Answer: Vinegar


Solution : The correct option is Vinegar .

Vinegar smells like ethanoic acid because it is mostly made up of acetic acid, which is also known as ethanoic acid. The presence of acetic acid gives vinegar its unique smell, and this explains the odour similarity. Organic acids, such as citric acid, are present in tomato juice. Kerosene is an alkane-rich hydrocarbon mixture with the general formula C n H 2n+2 . The citric acid (which gives lemon its sour flavour), and ascorbic acid (vitamin C) are among the chemical substances found in lemon.
