Introduction
In this experiment, you measure the acid concentration and determine if the acetic acid meets the criteria of the commercial law. The titration of vinegar has a solution composed of acetic acid (HC2H3O2), water and other substances. When adding sodium hydroxide (basic solution) to acetic acid (acid) it causes a neutralization reaction. The phenolphthalein is colorless in acid, and it will change color when adding the sodium hydroxide. In this experiment, there were four trials to reach the amount of sodium hydroxide needed to reach the end point. When you reach the end point of the experiment, the solution should be pink and if the solution is purple then it is over titrated.
Discussion
First, you make sure all of the liquid (water) is emptied out of the buret. Next, you fill the buret with sodium hydroxide

When pouring the NaOH in a flask, a drop of NaOH could be the difference of reaching the accurate measurement to titrate the vinegar sample or you can over titrate the vinegar sample.
Questions
4. If the titrated standard NaOH, in the flask against vinegar, in the buret, instead of the way you actually performed the titration, how would you have recognized the end-point with phenolphthalein indicator? Would carrying out the titration in this manner change your calculated results or conclusions?
If the titration uses a phenolphthalein as an indicator, then its end point would always be recognized when the solution is pink.
5. Why is it a good idea to rinse the buret with the NaOH solution, instead of with water, before filling it at start of the titration?
If you rinse the buret with water, there is still plenty of proton remaining and there shouldn’t be any water left in the buret. If so, NaOH solution would be less as stronger than presumed. You wouldn’t get the accurate result because the solution would be diluted. It would hard to determine the correct concentration of the
2. In Part I of this experiment, acetic acid is titrated with NaOH. The net ionic equation for acetic acid reacting with NaOH is CH3COOH+ NaOH =NaC2H3O2+H2O. The equivalence point is when the moles of the titrant and other solution are equal.. You detect the equivalence point by obtaining the point on the graph where the steep pH occurs. In titrating acetic acid with NaOH, the pH is greater than 7 at the equivalence point because NaOH is a strong base so it results in a higher pH, due to the OH- ions in the solution.
pH was recorded every time 1.00 mL of NaOH was added to beaker. When the amount of NaOH added to the beaker was about 5.00 mL away from the expected end point, NaOH was added very slowly. Approximately 0.20 mL of NaOH was added until the pH made a jump. The pH was recorded until it reached ~12. This was repeated two more times. The pKa of each trial are determined using the graphs made on excel.
2. To titrate a hydrochloric acid solution of “known” concentration with standardized 0.5M sodium hydroxide.
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
3. If a student did not remove all of the bubbles from inside the buret before reading the initial volume and beginning the titration, will this cause the calculated concentration of the hydrochloric acid determined from that trial to be higher or lower than the actual concentration? Explain your answer in complete
After the twenty minutes elapsed, the flask was cooled to room temperature and then titrated with the remaining NaOH until the colorless solution remained pink. The final volume was then recorded. While solution #1 was heating the same process was repeated with solution#2 and the second burette
was to determine the percentage by mass of acetic acid in vinegar using acid/base titration. The
You find a sample of a solution that has a faint odor resembling vinegar. You are verifying that it is indeed vinegar and you add a few drops of phenolphthalein. The sample turns pink. What assumptions can you make about this sample?
In 2 and 7 I added 50 mL of .1 M NaCl. I added sodium acetate to the rest of the beakers: 1 gram to 3 and 8, 5 grams to 4 and 9, and 10 grams to 5 and 10. I then filled the beakers that contained the solid sodium acetate with 50 ml of .10 M acetic acid. Specifics can be found on page 84 of the lab manual. Though the lab manual instructed to use a pipet, we did not have an accurate 1 mL pipet or a graduated pipet, so we instead prepared two graduated burets with 1 M Sodium Hydroxide and 1 M hydrochloric acid. Using a standardized pH probe with a Lab Pro to measure changes in pH, we added 1 mL of HCl at a time and recorded the changes. The same was done for the NaOH.
To begin, three sets ofabout 0.3000g of KHP are weighed out on an analytical balance. Put the three sets of KHP into three separate, labeled flasks. All three sets of the KHP is then dissolved with approximately 50mL of deionized water. Next, a buret is used to start the actual titration. Buret is initially filled to 0.00mL mark with the NaOH solution, this is recorded as initial volume. Next, add 2-3 drops of phenolphthalein indicator into each of the three flasks containing KHP. A magnetic stir bar is then added to the first flask, and placed above a stir plate. Everything is positioned under the buret. Stirrer is put on medium speed and the titration can start. Slowly release the NaOH into the KHP flask. As the end point is reached, a pink color will be seen in the flask. When the lightest pink possible remains in the solution for more than 30 seconds titration is complete. The final volume is recorded, and the same steps are taken for the other two sets of KHP solution. Finally, blank titration is completed to determine deviation.
pointer and will be dreary in an acidic arrangement and will hand pink over a fundamental arrangement. pH is the measure of the acidity or basicity of a fluid arrangement. On the off chance that we perform our tests effectively we expect the NaOH-HCl answer for turn blue, the Ascorbic Acid-NaOH answer for turn a shady blue since fillers in the tablet won't be totally solvent in water, and the Baking Soda-HCl answer for turn clear. A solution is a fluid blend of a solute consistently dispersed in a dissolvable. A fluid arrangement is a solute consistently disseminated in water. A solute is a substance that breaks down in a dissolvable. A dissolvable is a fluid that can break up a particular measure of solute. A large portion of our estimations will be in molarity (M) which is signified by the number of moles of the solute isolated by what number of Liters of the solution. When blending chemicals with water dependably include water the chemicals not the other path around as this could be perilous. We will institutionalize NaOH since it ingests water and CO2 from the air and KHP serves to precisely measure the fixation. Institutionalize intends to convey an answer for a known
Using Graph 1: The Volume of Titrant Added in order to reach the Endpoint and the Corresponding pH Values, observe the vertical line of each titration and see the points in which the horizontal lines intersect it. These points give the
Measure 50ml of Sodium Hydroxide and pour in to the burette (use funnel, and remove after use).
In order to accurately and precisely determine the concentration of NaOH, the primary standard KHP was used in the titration of NaOH. In the first week, the 1.08 g of KHP was dissolved with 25 mL
The first source of error that caused different results between group was that the groups misread the colour of the indicator at exactly the equivalence point. The other group could have misjudged light pink for clear and could’ve kept pouring the titrant till the color of the indicator changed dark pink ,which will result in a higher number of moles of the solution in your buret than in your flask. The extra moles of titrant used would give incorrect measurement since the amount KOH used would to titrate HCl would increase and giving a higher concentration for HCl. To avoid this source of error groups should used pH meter instead of phenolphthalein.A pH meter giver reading from 1-14 and doesn’t require judgment. The group would know solution is basic when the reading is 7 and they would stop pouring the titrant. This would avoid extra titrant in the solution and give a more accurate concentration.
