Question
A \(10.0-mL\) sample of vinegar, which is an aqueous solution of acetic acid, \(\mathrm{HC}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{2}\), requires \(16.5 mL\) of a \(0.500 M NaOH\) solution to reach the endpoint in a titration. What is the molarity of the acetic acid solution? \((11.7)\)
\(\mathrm{HC}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{2}(a q)+\mathrm{NaOH}(a q) \rightarrow \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l)+\mathrm{NaC}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{2}(a q)\)
Solution
The first step in solving 11 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A \(10.0-mL\) sample of vinegar, which is an aqueous solution of acetic acid, \(\mathrm{HC}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{2}\), requires \(16.5 mL\) of a \(0.500 M NaOH\) solution to reach the endpoint in a titration. What is the molarity of the acetic acid solution? \((11.7)\)\(\mathrm{HC}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{2}(a q)+\mathrm{NaOH}(a q) \rightarrow \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l)+\mathrm{NaC}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{2}(a q)\)
From the textbook chapter Acids and Bases you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
