A 20 mL aliquot of skimmed milk was placed in an Erlenmeyer flask. To the flask was added 3 to 4 drops of phenolphthalein. The sample was titrated in triplicate using a previously standardized NaOH solution of 0.101 N concentration. The volumes of NaOH spent in the three experiments to reach chemical equivalence were: Volumes #1 = 3.50 mL #2 = 3.60 mL # 3 = 3.43 mL A control sample of 1.6 g/L of lactic acid was also analyzed in triplicate, the spent volumes of NaOH were: Volumes #1 = 3.41 mL #2 = 3.42 mL # 3 = 3.43 mL Find the acidity of the milk expressed in g/L of lactic acid. Write the neutralization reaction that occurs in the titration process.

A 20 mL aliquot of skimmed milk was placed in an Erlenmeyer flask. To the flask was added 3 to
4 drops of phenolphthalein. The sample was titrated in triplicate using a previously standardized
NaOH solution of 0.101 N concentration. The volumes of NaOH spent in the three experiments to
reach chemical equivalence were:
Volumes
#1 = 3.50 mL
#2 = 3.60 mL
# 3 = 3.43 mL
A control sample of 1.6 g/L of lactic acid was also analyzed in triplicate, the spent volumes of
NaOH were:
Volumes
#1 = 3.41 mL
#2 = 3.42 mL
# 3 = 3.43 mL
Find the acidity of the milk expressed in g/L of lactic acid.
Write the neutralization reaction that occurs in the titration process.
