Suppose you are titrating vinegar, which is an acetic acid solution of unknown strength, with a sodium hydroxide solution according to the equation
H C 2 H 3 O 2 + N a O H ⟶ H 2 O + N a C 2 H 3 O 2 H C 2 H 3 O 2 + N a O H ⟶ H 2 O + N a C 2 H 3 O 2
If you require 33.38 mL of 0.1936 M N a O H N a O H solution to titrate 10.0 mL of H C 2 H 3 O 2 H C 2 H 3 O 2 solution,
what is the molar concentration of acetic acid in the vinegar?
CH3COOH + NaOH CH3COONa + H2O
one mole of acetic acid is neutralized by NaOH
Molarity ( NaOH ) X Volume ( NaOH ) =Molarity ( Acetic acid ) X Volume ( acetic acid )
0.1936 M X 33.38 mL = Molarity ( Acetic acid ) X 10 mL
Molarity ( Acetic acid ) = 0.646 M
