TITRATION OF A LACTIC

ACID IN A SAMPLE OF MILK

CH3-CHOH-COOH
SCOPE :

The scope of this laboratory experiment is to


determine the amount of lactic acid presents in a
sample in order to determine the degree of acidity.
MATERIALS :
• NaOH solution with a known titre (0.4 N)

• Becker

• Burette with sensibility 0.1ml and 50 ml capacity with its


support

• 250 ml of fresh milk

• phenolphthalein
METHODOLOGY:
• We rinse the burette with titrant (NaOH), we take a known quantity of
milk and we add the indicator (phenophthalein).

• Then we begin to titrate our test substance by adding a more or less


large amount of titrant (it depends on the color variation of the
indicator.

• We proceed with this methodology until the color variation is constant


for more than 30 seconds and very evident.

• We write down the volume of titrant used to reach our equivalent


point. We’ll need it for theoretical calculations.
TABLE AND CALCULATIONS :

mole of lactic acid = 4,3*10^-3 [liters]*0,1001[mole/liters]=4,3*10^-4 [mole]

gr of lactic acid = 4,3*10^-4[mole] * 90,08 [gr/mole] = 3,88*10^-2[gr]

EQUIVQLENT POINT [ml] NaOH [0,1001 N] TITRATED VOLUME MOLAR MASS [gr/mol]
4,3 4,3 25 90,08
Gr of acid lactic ppm acid lactic (part form million )
3,88X10^-2 38,77
CONCLUSIONS:

Our sample of milk contains 1,55 gr/l of lactic


acid and the S.H. degree > 6 indicates that
it’s a good preservation milk.
