Using Titration

Satisfactory Essays

The purpose of this lab was to determine how much acetic acid is in vinegar by using titration. Along with determining how much acetic acid is in vinegar, the titration is used to determine the molar concentration of acetic acid in vinegar. This was done by filling a buret with NaOH and then slowly dripping it into a flask (set on top of an electric stirrer) filled with 10.0 mL of vinegar and two drops of phenolphthalein indicator. Once the solution begins to turn pink that is when it is close to equilibrium. Once the solution shows any indication of turning pink, the drops should turn into drips and be very slow. It is when the solution in the flask is a barely visible pink color that it is the end point. Once the initial and final
