The amount of tartaric acid is responsible for the tartness of wine and controls the acidity of the wine. Tartaric acid also plays a very significant role in the overall taste, feel and color of a wine. Tartaric acid is a diprotic organic acid The chemical formula for tartaric acid is C4H6O6 and its structural formula is HO2CCH(OH)CH(OH)CO2H.
A 50.00 mL sample of a white dinner wine required 21.48 mL of 0.03776 M NaOH to achieve a faint pink color. Express the acidity of the wine in terms of grams of tartaric acid, H2C4H4O6 (M. M. = 150.10) per 100 mL of wine. Assume that the two acidic hydrogens are titrated at the end point.
MM H2C4H4O6 = 150.10
MM NaOH = 40.00
Below is the balanced chemical equation for this titration.
