In the experiment to estimate acid strength of a citrus fruit, why do we add some amount of water to the lime juice before titrating it? Also, why do we not include the volume of water added in calculations?

Question

you add the water in volumetric flask or what ?

jfraser · Answer

thinking of lime juice, it's got lots of tiny solid pieces in it, so you're effectively getting rid of the solids.

Amount of substance of citric acid is not changed when water is
Added.
If you use pH-meter and determine equivalent point 
From titration curve, there is no need to know
Volume of water. Onetime s it in necessary to add
Water because there should be enough liquids for
pH meter.

Here, pH meter is not being used. Its a titration going on.
