Chapter 5.3, Problem 10E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The name and chemical structures of three functional groups (neutral and ionized forms) which can be ionized by changing the pH of the aqueous solution needs to be explained.

Concept Introduction: Functional groups are the groups of atoms or atoms which are bonded with parent carbon chain in the organic molecule and are responsible for the physical and chemical properties of the compound. In organic chemistry, there are different functional groups such as carboxylic acid, alcohol, ester, or amide.

Some of the functional groups can easily ionized in acidic medium and exist in both neutral and ionized form that depends on the pH of solution.

The amount of tartaric acid is responsible for the tartness of wine and controls the acidity of the wine.  Tartaric acid also plays a very significant role in the overall taste, feel and color of a wine.   Tartaric acid is a diprotic organic acid The chemical formula for tartaric acid is C4H6O6 and its structural formula is HO2CCH(OH)CH(OH)CO2H.   A 50.00 mL sample of a white dinner wine required 21.48 mL of 0.03776 M NaOH to achieve a faint pink color.  Express the acidity of the wine in terms of grams of tartaric acid, H2C4H4O6 (M. M.  =  150.10) per 100 mL of wine.  Assume that the two acidic hydrogens are titrated at the end point. MM H2C4H4O6 = 150.10 MM NaOH = 40.00 Below is the balanced chemical equation for this titration.
