Question

Mark and John, two vinegar enthusiasts, are each tasked to determine the acetic acid content of their respective vinegar concoctions by titration. First, a 1 M-labeled KOH solution was standardized against the KHP (MW = 204.22 g/mol) standard that is 99.4% pure. In the process, 0.540 g KHP was found to require 2.80 mL of the KOH solution to completely react up to the phenolphthalein endpoint. Then, Mark and John both prepared their samples by taking 10.0-mL aliquots of each vinegar and diluting them to 25.0 mL. Using the same titrant and indicator, Mark’s vinegar required 18.60 mL of the standardized titrant to reach the endpoint, while John’s vinegar required 16.50 mL of the same titrant to reach the same endpoint.
