Introduction
We decided to do a project concerning the acidity in organic tomatoes and commercially grown tomatoes. Originally, we wanted to use home grown tomatoes compared to commercially grown tomatoes, but unfortunately the weather is not conducive to grow tomatoes in a home garden during this time of the year. We choose this experiment because we wanted to determine if there is a significant difference in the acid of the tomatoes. In addition, in determining the acidity level of the two groups and comparing them could help individuals determine which type of tomato to purchase when canning foods or if someone is concerned about underlying health issues. We hoped to determine one group of tomatoes to have a much lower acidity level

In addition, for a titration to be successful it must turn the faint pink color with one single drop being added. Finally, measure the final reading of the buret after finishing the titration, and note the reading.
Calculate the molarity of the base from the volume of titrant and mass of oxalic acid. Then, titrate more samples until the molarity of the calculations are within five percent. Neutralize the waste solution in the waste beaker to a pH between 6 and 8 with 0.5 HCl if too basic or 0.5 M NaOH if too acidic. Measure the pH level with the pH meter to determine which should be done. Discard the solution in the sink when it has been neutralized. This part of the experiment is performed to help hone in on titration skills, so the individual could collect precise measurements to calculate precise calculations.

Sample Calculation
Procedure Part 2 First, put on safety equipment (goggles and gloves). Next, set up the buret stand, and place the buret on the stand. Next, obtain approximately 250 mL of pure tomato juice in a 250
We know that that the end point of the titration is reached when, after drop after careful drop of NaOH, the solution in the flask retains its pale pink color while swirling for about 30
1. To titrate a hydrochloric acid solution of “unknown” concentration with standardized 0.5M sodium hydroxide.
In order to find the pH of each household item by using pH paper, the pH paper was placed on the drop plate. Using the dropper, start by having the household item dropped onto the pH paper. Immediately observe in order to spot any colour changes on the pH paper. To determine the pH by using the pH scale and record the pH on your table of observations. Depending on what the pH is, it could be very acidic, basic or neutral. Repeat these steps for the other products.
twice. Place the pH probe in the beaker and record the pH in the data table. Drag the beaker to the red
7. Using the slider on the right hand side, add NaOH to the HCl in the Erlenmeyer flask (This action is known as titrate). Add the indicator until the color of the indicator turns a light shade of pink.
Next prepare the third test tube with an accurate measurement of 5ml sodium carbonate once again labelling appropriately.
1.) Measure out 20ml out of the water and place it into a glass beaker
ii. The second part of the titration series involves titration of NaOH with Hydrochloric acid (HCL). Again, three reps of titration and a blank titration have to be completed. A volumetric pipet is used to measure 10.00mL of HCL into three labeled conical flasks. Then the flasks are filled with deionized water until about the 50mL mark. A buret is
During a titration the pH of the solution will be monitored using a pH meter from that we get a titration curve. The titration curve is then used to determine the equivalent molecular weight and Ka value of the unknown weak acid, from that we are
In the lab experiment called Acids and bases; the lab was design for participant to figure out whether certain household chemicals are acids or base and what color they can turn in to when being added to cabbage juice. An acid are a solution that has lose hydrogen ions that usually taste sour. However, some household solutions are acids such as vinegar and citrus fruit juices. Bases are solution that pull hydrogen ions out of solution and into themselves and it usually feels slippery. In this experiment we will be using red cabbage to indicator the change of colors in the solutions.
We performed the titrations in order to neutralize the wastewaters for the soaps and detergents. All titration curves should follow a certain format. The titration curve should start out with a slow movement then pick up to a fast speed before it slows down again. It follows this format because at the beginning the titrant is added which slowly changes the pH, but once the solution nears the point of neutralization the curve sharply changes. The point at which all the hydrogen or hydroxide ions are neutralized is called the equivalence point.
Approximate volumes of acids and bases were added. We assumed we had excess in all cases and
Add 4 drops of phenolphthalein in to the prepared acetic acid, and check whether the color changes to dark pink.
The purpose of this experiment was to determine how much KMnO4 was needed to titrate approximately 1 mL of an Unknow X101 concentrated solution of Oxalic Acid. A standardized KMnO4 solution was used on a known solution of Oxalic acid to help determine the unknown percent oxalic acid in unknown X101. The unknown sample for this experiment was sample x101 which theoretically was a % Oxalic Acid dehydrate sample but, the average of all three trials determined it to be a 6.7% percent Oxalic acid.
In this assignment, I will being combing through information I have acquired about Blue Tomato and analyse a series of areas of Blue Tomato starting with their strengths and working through the synergies and changes that will need to happen to go global.
