Question

Lab report of Equilibrium constants:

the table has recorded the data of the lab. I just need help with the questions next to it. the first question which is

Volume of NaOH when solutions turn dark pink/orange answer is 4.5ml

also I would like to know what is the conclusion of this lab?

Equilibrium Constants lab report-Table 1.

Explanation / Answer

Volume of NaOH when solutions turn dark pink/orange = 14.5-10 = 4.5ml (based on syringe reading)

conclusion

Based on pH values Acetic acid is weak so at starting of titration pH near to 7 idicates it is started to nutralize by NaOH.

When 4.5 ml NaOH addition completed the acetic acid completly converts to salt.

After nutralisation if we continues addition of base the pH value increases which indicates the solution becoming basic.
