Questions

The manufacturer of the vinegar used in the experiment stated that the vinegar contained 5.0% acetic acid. What is the percent error between your result and the manufacturer’s statement?

The acetic acid in vinegar for my experiment is 83% which is 1560% difference from the actual 5%.

What challenges would you encounter with the titration if you had used apple cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar as the analyte instead of white vinegar?

The white vinegar is made up of pure vinegar so the results will be more accurate than the apple cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar, the later has other "impurities" in them. The apple and balsamic has other properties which will interfere with the titration.

How would your results have differed if the tip of the titrator was not filled with NaOH before the initial volume reading was recorded? Explain your answer.

If the tip of the titration had not been filled with NaOH, the results would have been inaccurate because the tip contains about 0.5ml-1ml of volume. Priming the tip is important to ensure accurate results.

How would your results have differed if you had over-titrated (added drops of NaOH to the analyte beyond the stoichiometric equivalence point)?

If I had over-titrated, the percent composition of acetic acid would be greater in my results since my results would have indicated that it took a larger volume of NaOH to neutralize the acetic acid in vinegar.

If a 7.0 mL sample of vinegar was titrated to the stoichiometric equivalence point with 7.5 mL of 1.5M NaOH, what is the mass percent of CH3COOH in the vinegar sample?

Not enough information! need the density of vinegar.

Why is it important to do multiple trials of a titration, instead of only one trial?

If only one trial is run, the results may not be entirely accurate and may contain mechanical or calculation errors. Running multiple trials helps ensure that no errors are made in the results and you have several results to compare to.

Homework Answers

Answer #1

All the answers are correct i have checked and just one or two things i am adding . you may add those if you like.

What challenges would you encounter with the titration if you had used apple cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar as the analyte instead of white vinegar?

White vinegar consists of only acetic acid and water, whereas balsamic and applecider vinegar contain chemicals. Also, apple cider vinegar and balsamic are darkin color which may make an indicator in titration difficult to see and hence interfere in titration.

Below is the background info for the lab assignment. The 4 blank boxes are the questions I would like answers too. The end point for the fine titration was 35.90 mL in the burette when the solution turned bright green again. And the coarse titration I got 35.36mL as the end point. 35.9 mL is exact in case you need that info. Thanks!

Acid-Base Behavior In addition to following the general safety rules, chemicals need to be handled properly. In particular, two very important classes of compounds called acids and bases require special attention. These compounds are commonly used reagents in the laboratory; therefore, understanding their proper disposal is beneficial. Physical differences between acids and bases can be detected by the some of the five senses, including taste and touch. Acids have a sour or tart taste and can produce a stinging sensation...
