1. INTRODUCTION

In the vinegar assessment experiment, an acetic acid solution is titrated with a recognized
amount of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) (vinegar). In a titration experiment, H+ from acetic acid
reacts with OH-from sodium hydroxide to distribute water. The equivalent point refers to the
point where the quantity of sodium hydroxide is entirely defused by acetic acid throughout this
reaction mixture.

A. Brief Background ( 2-3 Paragraph)

Vinegar is essentially a sodium acetate solution in water, and thus its density is
demonstrated by molar concentration. Molarity (M), also known as molar
concentration, is a standard unit for expressing solute concentration. Titration is the
method used to determine the quantity of a solution required to interact with another
solution. This test uses an acid, acetic acid (HC2H3O2), as well as a base, sodium
hydroxide (NaOH). This is the reason it is known as an acid-base titration. By figuring
out the exact quantity of acid or base which will totally react with the solution, the
portion of acid or base is defined. The neutralization reaction pertains to the chemical
change that takes place whenever an acid and a base react quickly.

Sodium hydroxide is a basic solid, which means it consumes water from the
atmosphere. As an outcome, a measured amount of sodium hydroxide appears to
contain an unidentified quantity of water. As a result, a solution with a certain molarity
cannot be created by dissolving a known quantity of solid sodium hydroxide in water.
The density of a solution of sodium hydroxide must be experimentally investigated.
This is accomplished by comparing the sodium hydroxide solution to a primary
standard. A primary standard is a chemical from which a solution of a certain
concentration could be prepared.

B. Objective(s)
1. To perform a titration where the analyte is vinegar and the titrant is a
standardized solution of NaOH
2. To calculate the concentration of acetic acid using a sample of vinegar

2. METHODOLOGY

Figure 1. Phase 1 & 2

The first phase is filling a clean buret with sodium hydroxide, and students must record its initial
volume in Lab Data. Followed by the second phase of preparing the vinegar solution for titration,
students must use a clean 10-mL volumetric pipet to add 10.00 mL of vinegar to clean
Erlenmeyer. After that, students must add 50 mL of Dl water into the flask.

Figure 2. Phase 3

By setting up for the titration, the students prepared on proceeding to place a white paper on a
stir plate. Afterward, they add phenolphthalein indicator to vinegar solution with a magnetic stir
bar to Erlenmeyer flask, same with the vinegar solution. Lastly, they place the Erlenmeyer flask
with vinegar solution on a stir plate.

Figure 3. Phase 4

For the last phase, students turned on the stir plate to mix the vinegar solution inside the flask;
then, students twisted the stopcock valve to add a few drops of standardized sodium hydroxide
to the vinegar solution until it reached its endpoint. Students determined that the indication of
titration's endpoint is when the solution changes its color to pale pink observations and the final
buret volume was recorded in the lab data. The group determined the importance of the sodium
hydroxide by subtracting the initially recorded volume from the final volume of the buret. Then
students turned off the stir plate to end the titration process.

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

In this vinegar titration analysis experiment, 10mL of vinegar was used; before
initiating the titration, the initial volume of the burette was determined to be 1.60mL; after

recording the initial volume, the titration was initiated by adding droplets of the substance
to the flask while stirring it on a stir plate; the titration was terminated when the endpoint
was reached (light pinkish color). The burette's final volume and NaOH volume were
then recorded. After gathering all the necessary Lab data, we calculated the acetic acid's
molarity using the recorded information.

sodium Hydroxide, how to calculate the moles of Acetic acid, and the Molarity of Acetic acid.

Using the formulas provided in the experiment, we calculated the volume of

NaOH. Using this volume, we multiplied it by 1 Liter over 1000mL, then multiplied it by
the number of moles of the standardized NaOH over 1 Liter to obtain the moles of
sodium hydroxide. To calculate the moles of acetic acid, we multiplied the answer from
calculating the moles of sodium hydroxide by the moles of acetic acid over the moles of
NaOH. And finally, to calculate the molarity of the acetic acid, we multiplied the moles of
acetic acid over 10 mL by 1000 mL over 1 L.

4. CONCLUSION

The Laboratory experiment is about the use of the titration process wherein vinegar acts
as the analyte sample, the phenolphthalein as the indicator, and the titrant is a standardized
solution of NaOH. The main objective of the experiment is to determine and calculate the
required data, which is also significant findings, and to finish the titration process by reaching
the endpoint. The data that needs to be collected are the standardized Sodium hydroxide, Initial
and final volume of the buret, volume of vinegar & Sodium hydroxide, and the molarity of the
acetic acid. The experiment went well and was done in a very thorough manner to ensure that
the data to be collected will be accurate as well as the correct number of significant figures to be
shown. The experiment also followed the correct and safety procedures wherein, every time a
lab equipment or material was used, it was sterilized and disposed of if needed. The students
have used the correct laboratory equipment for each procedure with careful measurements and
have finished the titration since the solution turned pale pink which indicated that the titration
reached its endpoint. Overall, the laboratory experiment proceeded as follows and it is therefore
a success.
