EXPERIMENT 4
PROCEDURES
a) Write a balanced equation for the reaction between NaOH and HCl.
b) Using the data above and the stoichiometric ratio from the equation, calculate the
exact molarity of the NaOH solution.
- M=n/V
MaVa / MbVb = a / b
(0.1)(20) / Mb(24) = 1 / 1
24M = 2
Mb = 0.083 mol
c) Write the chemical equation for the reaction between acetic acid (CH3COOH) and
NaOH solution.
- CH 3 COOH + NaOH → CH 3 COONa + H 2 O
ii) In the procedure 10 ml of the original vinegar has been diluted to 100 ml.
Calculate the molarity of the concentrated (original) vinegar. (M1V1=M2V2).
- M1V1 = M2V2
M1(10) = (0.01 M)(250)
M1(10) = 2.5
M1 = 0.25
iii) Calculate the mass of acetic acid (MW 60 g/mol) and then calculate %w/v of
acetic acid in the vinegar sample.
%w/v= (mass of acetic acid / volume of sample) × 100
g) Draw a titration curve for the titration between acetic acid (CH3COOH) and NaOH
solution.
CONCLUSION
The conclusion of this experiment is that the titration process involved the strong acid which
was the HCl and the strong base which was the NaOH. The standardization of secondary
standard solution and primary standard also happen. The accurate data was being maintained
and their no error occur during and after the titration process. From the usage of
stoichiometry and molarity laws, we were able to determine the exact molarity of NaOH
solution, which was 0.083 M. The content percent of vinegar in this experiment is 0.6%.
Results might be different with other groups as it was handled by different people.
