Use the following experimental titration data to calculate the concentration of the acid being analysed. Observations: The initial solution of acetic acid (HC2H3O2) is clear and colourless. A few drops of phenolphthalein indicator are added to each sample. A dilute solution of sodium hydroxide (concentration 2.50 x 10-4 mol/L) is used as the titrant. As the mixture reaches the endpoint, flashes of pink colour are seen and the titrant is added drop by drop. The endpoint is reached when one drop of titrant turns the mixture a pale pink colour that does not fade.

Question

Use the following experimental titration data to calculate the concentration of the acid being analysed.

Observations: The initial solution of acetic acid (HC2H3O2) is clear and colourless. A few drops of phenolphthalein indicator are added to each sample. A dilute solution of sodium hydroxide (concentration 2.50 x 10-4 mol/L) is used as the titrant. As the mixture reaches the endpoint, flashes of pink colour are seen and the titrant is added drop by drop. The endpoint is reached when one drop of titrant turns the mixture a pale pink colour that does not fade.

Observations:
The initial solution of acetic acid (HC,H,0,) is clear and colourless. A few drops of
phenolphthalein indicator are added to each sample. A dilute solution of sodium hydroxide
(concentration 2.50 x 104 mol/L) is used as the titrant. As the mixture reaches the endpoint,
flashes of pink colour are seen and the titrant is added drop by drop. The endpoint is
reached when one drop of titrant turns the mixture a pale pink colour that does not fade.
