You are planning to determine the concentration of acid in vinegar by titration with a suitable base. The container of vinegar states that the acetic acid concentration in the vinegar is 10%. Suggest a suitable titration to carry out this determination (note all reagents) and estimate the amount of 0.01 mol/l alkali solution that you will require for your class group (assuming 3 titrations by 10 students). Indicate the alkali solution that you will use.
