Acetic Acid Lab

Today we finished the first lab of this unit and it involved acid-base titrations. This is probably one of my favorite labs we have done because of the precise titrations. By using NaOH to titrate solutions of KHP and vinegar, we determined the % acetic acid in commercial vinegar with the data. The first day we performed practice titrations while we collected data on the second day. Fortunately by the end of the second day, my group got the hang of the titrations and our data was accurate.

  1. I thought this was a great lab because it was one of the more interesting ones for us to do as compared to previous ones.
