Prelab Assignm File

The document provides instructions and questions for a lab experiment on titration. It includes directions to calculate the volume of NaOH needed to neutralize samples of acetic acid and lemon juice. Students are asked to explain titration techniques like using a card to read meniscus and allowing time for color changes to persist before taking readings. Calculations are shown to determine the percentage of acetic acid in vinegar samples through titration.

Date _________ Lab Sec. _______ Name ___________________________________________ Desk No. ________
1. Assuming the density of a 5% acetic acid by mass solution is 1.0 g/mL, determine the volume of the acetic acid solution the
necessary to neutralize 25.0 mL of 0.10 M NaOH. Also record this calculation on your Report Sheet.

2. A. A chemist often uses a white card with a black mark to aid in reading the meniscus of a clear liquid. How does this technique
make the reading more accurate? Explain.

2. B. A chemist should wait 10-15 seconds after dispensing a volume of titrant before a reading is made. Explain why the time lapse
is a good titration technique.

2. C. The color change at the endpoint should persist for 30 seconds. Explain why the time lapse is a good titration technique.

3. Lemon juice has a pH about 2.5. Assuming the acidity of lemon juice is due solely citric acid, that citric acid is a monoprotic acid, and
that the density of lemon juice is 1.0 g/mL, then the citric acid concentration calculates to 0.5% by mass. Estimate the volume of
0.0100 M NaOH required to neutralize a 3.71 g sample of lemon juice. The molar mass of citric acid is 190.12 g/mol.

4. Explain why it is quantitatively not acceptable to titrate each of the vinegar samples with the NaOH titrant to the same dark pink
endpoint.
