Chemistry 101: Titration of Acetic Acid in Vinegar

An experiment from a New Mexico Tech chemistry lab course through which students learn about titration, acetic acid, and weak acids. Contains pre-lab material, diagrams, chemical reactions, procedure, and post-lab questions.

Keep it simple with this chemistry assignment. Learners examine an acid-base titration graph and answer four questions about the data. Then they will balance neutralization equations and calculate molarity for several specific solutions....

Are you suffering from titration frustration? An engaging video revolution might be just the solution! Introduce young chemists to one of the more intricate labs performed in Chemistry 1 using a video from JFR Science. The narrator...

Follow through every behavior of the electrons and ions during the reaction between acetic chloride and its reactants, leading to the production of the acid halide.

Titration curves are the focus of this chemistry video. Students see that if a weak base is titrated with a strong acid, then the pH equals the pKb at the half-equivalence point. The base will have an equilibrium, but the acid will not...

A virtual lab where students determine the concentration of acetic acid in vinegar using a 0.110 M NaOH standard solution and an acid-base indicator, phenolphthalein.

There are many different types of vinegar that you can buy to use around the kitchen for cooking and pickling. The chemical compound that gives vinegar its tart taste and pungent smell is acetic acid. In this experiment you will work to...

An example calculating the pH for titration of acetic acid with strong base NaOH before adding any base and at half-equivalence point. [14:27]

An example of calculating the pH for titration of acetic acid with strong base NaOH at equivalence point and past the equivalence point. [15:13]

Students perform a lab simulation for a titration of monoprotic and diprotic acids. In this titration simulation lesson plan, students use a computer program to neutralize an acid with a base and compute the unknown concentration of the...
