An aliquot of 20 ml of skim milk was placed in an Erlenmeyer flask. To the flask was added 3 to 4 drops of phenolphthalein. The sample was titrated in triplicate using a previously standardized NaOH solution 0.101M. The volumes of NaOH spent in the three experiments to reach chemical equivalence were 3.6ml, 3.7ml and 3.5ml. 1) Express the acidity of milk in g/L of lactic acid. 2) Assuming that the only acid present in milk is lactic acid, would you expect the
