Question

In a titration, assuming it is carried out just like the one in this lab exercise, how do you determine the number of moles of base used? Explain in detail, showing all work.

Answer 1

CH3COOH(aq)+NaOH(aq)= Na(CH3COO)(aq)+H2O(l).
That's my solution

Answer 3

Also need to know this... In a titration, assuming it is carried out just like the one in this lab exercise, how do you determine the number of moles of acid used? How do you then use this information to determine the concentration of the acid? Explain in detail, showing all work.

Answer 7

Start with the grams used. Then convert to what you want.

Answer 8

It looks like a 1:1 ratio so it shouldn't be too diffucult. Divide the grams used by formula mass.

Answer 9

I don't understand how to do that?

Answer 10

How much grams (or volume) did you begin with before you started titration? That's what you start.

Answer 11

How do I know thaT?

Answer 12

I don't know why I'm so confused

Answer 13

Do you know what titration IS?????

Answer 14

Yes

Answer 15

Then you should know, first you add a certain amount of either solid or liquid (usually at introductory level it is done with DI water), and then you allow it to dissolve or mix well. Then you add your Base (or acid). If you're not using an pH meter, then you probably used some indicator.

To find the amount of base added, you need to know the amount you started with as well as the volume you started and ended with during the titration. Meaning, when it first changed color from clear to maybe pink or blue, or whatever indicator you used.
