This is from my lab for Titration of acetic acid in vinegar. I Solution 2. Becau

Question

Explanation / Answer

2. Because white vinegar consists of only acetic acid and water, while other vinegars contain other chemicals. HC2H3O2 + NaOH ---> NaC2H3O2 + H2O (all coefficients are 1's) 3. You would be lead to assume that there was more NaOH in the pipet than there actually was. Since when for example the pipet reads 10ml this is talking when the space in the burette is also filled up. When it is that the reaction takes place between the NaOH and acetic acid you would think that you used more NaOH than you really did, which will ultimately make you think more acetic acid was in the vinegar than was in fact.
