I. Abstract
A. Materials
The materials used in this experiment are base burette, volumetric pipette,
Erlenmeyer flask, phenolphthalein indicator solution, standard HCl solution,
unknown sodium hydroxide solution and the acid sample.
B. Procedure
Proper titration techniques were followed and the base burette was set up
and filled with sodium hydroxide. Initial burette reading was recorded. 10 mL of a
standard HCl acid solution was measured using a volumetric pipette into an
Erlenmeyer flask. 20 mL of distilled water and 2 drops of phenolphthalein
indicator were added to the acid solution. Titration was made carefully to the
faintest tinge of pink that persists for 15 seconds after swirling. Several trials were
made until the results are close to each other.
Specified volume of the acid sample was measured with a volumetric
pipette into the Erlenmeyer flask. 20 mL of distilled water and 2 drops of
phenolphthalein indicator were added into the acid solution. It was titrated against
the sodium hydroxide used in the first part. At least two trials were made.
Table 1
Table 1 figure above shows the amount of NaOH used in each titration trials. It
shows that in a 10 mL of 0.1M HCl, an average of 10.5 mL of NaOH was used. This
first table was used in finding the molarity concentration of the base which is the
NaOH.

Brand name of Vinegar Delmonte Red Cane Vinegar
Volume of Vinegar 1 mL 1 mL 1 mL
Vinitial of NaOH 7.3 mL 7.5 mL 16.1 mL
Vfinal of NaOH 16.2 mL 16.1 mL 24.4 mL
Volume of NaOH 8.9 mL 8.6 mL 8.3 mL
% of Vinegar 5.07% 4.9% 4.73%
Ave. % Acidity 4.9%
In the second table figure, shows the data in determining the concentration of the
acetic acid or vinegar. It shows that in 1 mL of vinegar reacts with a range of 8.9 mL
to 8.3 mL of 0.095 M NaOH which was computed in the last step. The average
acidity of the vinegar is 4.9%.
V. Conclusion
This experiment shows the acid-base titration process, how it is done and how
to find for the concentration of a base or an acid using this process. It shows that the
acid-base titration is also a neutralization process which means the products are water
and salt. It can also be concluded that titration is a specific technique in computing for
the concentration of a substance using another substance with a known concentration.
