Summary
A standardized vinegar solution was prepared, to test how much sodium hydroxide is needed to turn the solution pink. In order to know when the equivalence point is reached, an indicator solution called phenolphthalein was added to the vinegar at the start of the titration. Phenolphthalein is an organic dye which is colorless in acidic solutions

The flask was then inverted ten times to ensure the mixture was thoroughly mixed.
Step two- Now that the vinegar solution is diluted some was then poured into a beaker. 25ml was then taken out from the beaker using a pipette. It was then poured into a conical flask. A measuring cylinder was used to measure 20ml of water which was then poured into conical flask containing the diluted vinegar. 3 drops of phenolphthalein indicator was then added to the solution.
Step 3
The clamp stand which the burette was clipped on to was placed on the floor and Sodium hydroxide was added to burette up to the zero mark. However the burette was contaminated, therefore it was replaced with a new one and the funnel was also changed. The sodium hydroxide was then again added to the burette up to the zero

The hose of the burette was opened until the solution turned pink. 20.2ml of sodium hydroxide was used to get the solution to turn pink.( 4. Fill the burette with NaOH (aq) up to the top, between 0-mL and 5-mL. Use a funnel to do this carefully, preferably over the sink. Measure this volume precisely, and record it as the “Initial Burette Reading” on your
Vinegar is a common household product, when mixed with the indicator, phenolphthalein, it turns pink. This indicates that Vinegar is acidic.
Volumetric burette: This instrument was filled with the sodium hydroxide solution that would be gradually added to the vinegar solution. The burette was used instead of a measuring cylinder as it gives a finer volume
This was done by titrating the vinegar with a base that had a calculated concentration. The final average concentration after three trials was 0.5285% by mass. All of the measurements used were taken to four significant figures. One potential source of error is the use of an indicator and titration. In order to induce a change in the color of the solution, it must become slightly basic, this means that more NaOH was added than was actually required to neutralize the acetic acid. This error would indicate that the concentration of acetic acid was slightly higher than it really is; unfortunately, it is unavoidable with the current experiment setup. Another problem with the titration process is that the base can only be added in drops, limiting the precision even more. Aside from these limitations it appears that the process yielded fairly accurate results, with only a 5.706% error when compared to the industry
mL cylinder to the beaker on the stir plate and empty it into the beaker. Place the pH probe in the beaker and record the pH in the data table. Drag the beaker to the red disposal bucket. Double-click the bottle of NaHCO3 to move it to the Stockroom counter. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for KNO3.
By using acid-base titration, we determined the suitability of phenolphthalein and methyl red as acid base indicators. We found that the equivalence point of the titration of hydrochloric acid with sodium hydroxide was not within the ph range of phenolphthalein's color range. The titration of acetic acid with sodium hydroxide resulted in an equivalence point out of the range of methyl red. And the titration of ammonia with hydrochloric acid had an equivalence point that was also out of the range of phenolphthalein.. The methyl red indicator and the phenolphthalein indicator were unsuitable because their pH ranges for their color changes did not cover the equivalence points of the trials in which they were used. However, the
Measure 50ml of Sodium Hydroxide and pour in to the burette (use funnel, and remove after use).
The purpose of this experiment was to see how the amount of baking soda dissolved in vinegar would affect the pH of the vinegar. We conducted the experiment by testing different amounts of baking soda in constant amounts of vinegar, and dropping the solutions on pH paper. By comparing the colors on the pH paper to a list of colors in relation to numbers on the pH scale, we were able to find out that as more baking soda is added, the pH of the solution goes up as well.
3. Two beakers were labeled as acid and base for each one of them. Then they were brought to the teacher and filled it up by sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid. The funnel was put on the top of the burette then the sodium hydroxide was poured up to the line of number 0. Made sure that the stopcock was closed while pouring sodium hydroxide into the burette.
Objective: We will be using various combinations of distilled water, hydrogen peroxide, malonic acid, ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), acetic acid (Vinegar), starch solution, laundry detergent, iodine tincture, manganese sulfate, and sulfamic acid to produce multiple pairs of solutions labeled Solution A and Solution B. The goal is to either observe the process of fluorescence or the absence of fluorescence. Fluorescence is the chemical property of generating light after undergoing the process of absorbing and emitting a certain amount of energy, directly causing a physical change in the substance's color. Mixing Solution A and Solution B, while viewing the results under UV light from time to time, should result in the new solution constantly
Fill the buret with KOH Filled KOH to exactly 0 mL in the buret 5. Record the volume of the buret to the nearest 0.01 mL, be careful to not overfill the buret do not refill the buret during the titration process, place the flask under the buret to be filled during the titration Used pipets to perfectly measure out amount of solution into buret 6. Titrate slowly until a permanent pale pink color is observed(2 minutes), swirl flask gently between each additions of base to mix thoroughly, hold over white paper to see color Poured very small amounts of base into the solution (single drops sometimes) the flask was stirred until the desired pale pink color was shown. 7. Once the solution has turned pink permanently, record the volume (to the nearest 0.01 mL) of solution in the buret Recorded to 27.5 mL in Solution 1 and 24.7 mL in Solution 2 8.
2. Place 1250 ml beaker containing 75 ml HCl underneath the buret (buret already set up with the volume recorded) for titration and apparatus.
4. To utilize the titration results to calculate the molarity of the hydrochloric acid and the

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
When you add vinegar to the water the water become a little darker but the only way you can tell anything was added is due to the smell.
