Question

10.03 g of vinegar was diluted to 100 mL and 25 mL sample was titrated with the 0.0176 M Ba(OH)2 solution. 34.30 mL was required for equivalence. What is the percent of acetic acid in the vinegar?

Solution

Given, Mass of Vinegar=10.03g
Molarity of Ba(OH)2=0.0176M
Volume of vinegar solution used=25ml
Volume of Ba(OH)2 used=34.30ml
We know, at equivalence, no. of gram equivalents of vinegar solution=No. of gram equivalents of Ba(OH)2(1)
Now,
Molarity of Ba(OH)2=0.0176M
Normality of Ba(OH)2=0.0176×nfactor
=0.0176×2
=0.0352N
So, from (1) N1V1=N2V2
Vinegarsol. Ba(OH)2
N1=N2V2V1=0.0352×34.3025
=0.0482N
The normality of acetic acid in the vinegar solution is 0.0482N
Molarity of acetic acid=0.0482nfactor [n=1]
=0.04821M
This means that
0.0482 moles of acetic acid is present in 1000ml solution
No. of moles of acetic acid in 100ml solution is=0.0482×1001000
=0.00482 moles
Now, for % calculation , first let us calculate the mass
We know 1 mole acetic acid=60g
0.00482 mole acetic acid=0.00482×60
=0.2892g
Now, for % calculation
Mass % of acetic acid in vinegar solution=MassofAcidMassofVinegar×100
=0.2892g10.03g×100
=2.88%
