pH is defined as the negative log of Hydronium Ion concentration.

So, in order to find the pH of vinegar, we find the negative log of its hydronium ion concentration.


pH=-log[ H_(3)O^(+)] \\ \\ pH=-log(1.6 * 10^(-3)) \\ \\ pH=2.8

So, the pH of given vinegar solution will be 2.8.

Therefore, the answer to this question is option B
