The titration process is used to analyze the content of somefood product. Let's say you are analyzing the concentration ofacetic acid in the vinegar. Answer the following question:
• What would you categorize the vinegar, an acid or a base?
You have 5 mL of vinegar in a flask and 2 drops ofphenolphthalein indicator. You titrate exactly 36.9 mL of 0.1 mol/LNaOH from a burette directly into the flask which gives you a palepink color. This means the solution has reached neutralization.
• Calculate n of the NaOH.
• Calculate c of the vinegar in mol/L.
• Depending on your answer for the previous question completethe following sentence:
one liter of vinegar contains …………………………. mol of aceticacid.
