Conclusion & Recommendation
From the experiment, can be complete as from the equivalent point based on the chart or
the calculation, the molarity of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is .10105 mol/L. Hence, the molarity
is used to calculate the molarity of acetic acid in vinegar. The molarity of acetic acid in vinegar
is M. The percent by mass of the acetic acid in both vinegar A and B are 3.35% and
3.31% with the mass if acetic acid is 3.33% and 3.36% with the mass of acetic acid is 0.2033g by
assuming the density is 1g/mL.

To get the accurate value of result in the experiment, there are a few recommendations
and precaution that need to be considered through the experiment. First, look at the lower
meniscus while take the reading and our ayes must be perpendicular with the meniscus. Usually
an air bubble is present in the nozzle of the burette. It must be removed before taking the initial
reading. Make sure all the apparatus dry and clean before used. In conclusion, we should wear
gloves and goggles while conducting the whole experiment as a safety precaution step.
