Suppose you are titrating vinegar, which is an acetic acid solution, of unknown strength with sodium hydroxide according to the equationHC2H3O2 + NaOH → H2O + NaC2H3O2If you require 32.17 mL of 0.116 M NaOH solution to titrate 10.0 mL of HC2H3O2 solution, what is the concentration of acetic acid in the vinegar? (M)

GIVEN: Volume of NaOH =32.7 mL Concentration of NaOH =0.116 M Volume of HC2H3O2 = 10.0 mL To determine: Concentration of acetic acid in the vinegar.HC2H3O2 + NaOH → H2O + NaC2H3O2 According to the Balanced reaction, Moles of NaOH= Moles of HC2H3O2 And, we Know that, Moles= Concentration x Volume. So, we can write that MNaOH×VNaOH=MHC2H3O2×VHC2H3O20.116 M ×32.7 mL =MHC2H3O2 ×10.0 mLMHC2H3O2=0.37932 M Concentration of acetic acid in the vinegar is 0.37932 M
