When we did titration with bromophenol blue, we wanted to get the
green solution as the endpoint. At the first round, we tried to get the
roughly amount of bases that were going to make the solution changed its
color. As a result, we got the blue solution which meant that it exceeded
the endpoint. So, in the second and third time, we needed to use smaller
amount of bases in the burets. For the second round, we tried to be more
acculated and focused so that the solution would not exceed the endpoint.
Therefore, we got the green color as we wanted. For the third round, the
result was similar. But, in the third round, the color was lighter.

Pre-lab questions
2. Label the pH scale below with acid, base, and neutral, indicating
numbers for each.
pH scale for acid is between 1-6. pH scale for base is between 8-14. pH
scale for neutral is 7.
1. How would it affect your results if you used a beaker with residual
water in it to measure out your standardized sodium hydroxide solution?
- Technically, it would change the concentration and the pH of the solution.
However, the change would be very little that we can ignore it.
2. How would it affect your results if you used a wet Erlenmeyer flask
instead of a dry one when transferring your acid solution from the
volumetric pipette?
- The acid solution might contaminate with wet water which might change
the volume and pH of solution. The solution will not be pure which cause
the result of titration to be less accurate. Therefore, we should use a dry
Erlenmeyer flask when transferring acid solution from the volumetric
pipette.
3. How do you tell if you have exceeded the equivalence point in your
titration?
- We can see the color of the indicator changing according to its endpoint
value (in pH). Since different indicators have different endpoints, we need to
know the endpoint of the indicator we use so we can have an idea of what
the pH of the solution is.

4. Vinegar is a solution of acetic acid (CH3COOH) in water. For quality
control purposes, it can be titrated using sodium hydroxide to assure a
specific % composition. If 25.00 mL of acetic acid is titrated with 9.08 mL
of a standardized 2.293 M sodium hydroxide solution, what is the molarity
of the vinegar.
