Experiment 9

Acid-Base Titrations: Analysis of Vinegar

Abstract
In this exercise, acid- base titrations were used to determine the molar concentration and m/v %

of acetic acid in vinegar, with the aid of a 2 mL pipet and a burette. We used the buret in two

trials to pour the solution in an Erlenmeyer flask to find the equivalence point. Our initial volume

was 0.15 mL and 17.00 mL and the final volume were 16.85 mL and 34.00 mL. Based on these

findings, it was determined that the average molarity and m/v %, using findings from two trials,

were 0.82 M and 4.92%. This was determined by using the volume of the NaOH solution from

trails 1 and 2 to find both of these answers.

Reflection Questions for Experiment 9

Answer the following reflection questions in the space provided. These do not need to
be in your lab notebook.

Question 1. Write the ionic equation for the reaction of acetic acid with sodium
hydroxide and identify the spectator ion(s). Write the net ionic equation.

CH3COOH(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCH3COO(aq) + H2O(l)

Ionic: H++CO2-+CH3 +Na++OH-→Na++H++CO2-+CH3-+H++O2-

Spectator Ions: H++O2

Net Ionic: Na++ H++CO2-+CH3→ NaCH3COO(aq)

Question 2.

How does obtaining a dark pink endpoint (instead of a pale pink endpoint) affect the
calculated mass/volume percent of acetic acid in vinegar compared to the actual value?
Is the calculated mass/volume percent greater than, less than or equal to the actual
value? Explain.

It would be greater as obtaining a dark pink endpoint would mean a higher


equivalence point which means the pH is high instead of equal to the base

Question 3.

Will the volume of water added in step 6 of the lab procedure affect the calculated
value of the mass/volume percent of acetic acid in vinegar? Explain.

Yes because it adds to the volume of the sample and therefore, water affects the
result of the experiments whenever we calculate volume.

Question 4.
A 25.00 mL sample of vinegar requires 14.21 mL of 0.892 M Ba(OH)2 to be neutralized.
Calculate the molarity and the mass/volume of acetic acid in the vinegar solution.
