DETERMINATION OF THE CONCENTRATION OF ACETIC ACID IN VINEGAR
1.1 Introduction
Concentration of solution is the amount of solute in a given amount os solvent. A concentrated
solution contains relatively large quantity of solute in a given amount of solvent. Dilute solutions
contain relatively little solute in a given amount of solvent. There are 2 specifics term to express
concenrtation, which is molarity and percent by mass.
Molarity is the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.
Molarity ( M )
moles of solute
liter of solution
(Equation 1-1)
Percent by mass is the mass in grmas of solute per 100 grams of solution
Percent solute

(Equation 1-2)
Vinegar is a dilute solution of acitic acid. The molecular formula for acetic acid is CH3COOH.
Both molarity and percent by mass of aceric acid in a vinegar solution can be determine by
performing a titration. A titration is a process in which small increments of a solution of known
concerntration are added to a specific volume of a solution of unknown concerntration until the
stoichiometry for that reaction is attained. Knowing the quantity of the known solution required
to complete the titration, calculation of the unknown solution ca be done. The purpose of titration
is to determine the equivalance point of the reaction. The equivalance point is reach when the
added quantity of one reactant is the exact amount necessary for stoichiometric reaction with
another reactant.

1.3 Theory
In the titration process, a burette is used to dispense a small, quantifiable increment of solution of
known concentration (Figure 1.1). A typical burette has the smallest calibration unit of 0.1mL
(Figure 1.2), therefore, volume dispense from the burette should be estimated to the nearest
0.01mL.
Figure 1-1: a) Depicts a typical 50-mL burette. b) Indicates smallest calibration unit, 0.1mL, on a typical 50 mL
burette
In this experiment, the equivalence point occurs when the moles of acid in the solution equals to
the moles of base added in the titration. For example, the stoichiometric amount of 1 mole of the
strong base, sodium hydroxide (NaOH), is necessary to neutralize 1 mole of the weak acid, acetic
acid (CH3CO2H), as indicated in equation 3.
NaOH (aq) + CH3CO2H(aq) NaCH3CO2 (aq) + H2O (l)
(Equation 1-3)
The sudden change in the pH of the solution shows that the titration has reached the equivalence
point. pH in an aqueous solution is related to its hydrogen ion concentration. Symbolically, the
hydrogen ion concentration is written as [H3O+]. pH is defined as the negative of the logarithm
of the hydrogen ion concentration.
pH = - log [H30+]
(Equation 1-4)
pH scale is a method of expressing the acidity or basicity of a solution. Solutions having a pH <
7 are acidic, pH = 7 are neutral, pH > 7 are basic. For example, a solution having [H 30+]= 2.35 x
10-2 M would have a pH of 1.629 and is acidic. Ph electrode will be used in this experiment. The
titration is initiated by inserting a pH electrode into a beaker containing the acid solution (pH
within 3-5). As sodium hydroxide, NaOH, is incrementally added to the acid solution, some of
the hydrogen ions will be neutralized. As the hydrogen ion concentration decreases, the pH of
the solution will gradually increase. When sufficient NaOH is added to completely neutralize the
acid (most of the H3O+ ions are removed from the solution), the next drop of NaOH added will
cause a sudden sharp increase in pH (figure 2-2). The volume of based required to completely
neutralized the acid is determine at the equivalence point of titration.
Figure 1-2: Acid-base titration curve of weak acid titrated with NaOH.
In this experiment, titration of vinegar sample with a standardized sodium hydroxide solution
will be done. To standardize the sodium hydroxide solution, of a primary standard acid solution
is initially prepared. In general, primary standard solutions are produce by dissolving a weighed
quantity of pure acid or base in a known volume of solution. Primary standard acid or bases have
several common characteristics:
Potassium hydrogen phthalate KHC8H4O4, and oxalic acid, (COOH)2, are common primary
standard acid. Sodium carbonate, Na2CO3, is the most commonly used based. Most acids and
bases (e.g. HCl, CH3COOH, NaOH, and KOH) are most available as primary standard. To
standardize one of these acid or based solutions, titration of the solution with a primary standard
should be done. In this experiment, NaOH solution will be titrated with potassium hydrogen
phthalate (KHP). The equation for this reaction will be:
KHC8H4O4 (aq) + NaOH (aq) KNaC8H4O4 (aq) + H2O (l)
(Equation 1-5)
Once the sodium hydroxide solution has beeb standardizes, it will be used to titrate 10.00mL
aliquots of vinegar. The equation for the reaction of vinegar with NaOH is
CH3COOH(aq) + NaOH(aq) NaCH3COO (aq) + H2O(l)
(Equation 1-6)
Knowing the standardized NaOH concentration and using equation 6, we can determine the
molarity and percent by mass of acetic acid in the vinegar solution.
Sample calculation for standardizing a based with KHP
Figure 3 depicts the titration curve of 1.523 grams of KHP dissolved in20.0mL of distilled water
titrated with NaOH. Determine the molarity of the NaOH solution.

Many heavy metals, including chromium (Cr), are toxic even at low aqueous solution
concentrations. Chromium ions, Cr (III) or Cr (VI), are found naturally in rivers, lakes and
streams. Trivalent Cr (III) compounds are not usually considered as health hazards, but
hexavalent Cr (VI) compounds can be toxic if ingested or inhaled and have been established as
carcinogens.
You are required to determine the quantity of Cr (VI) present in a polluted water sample using
a spectrophotometer and a set of standard solutions. From your results you will conclude
whether the water sample is suitable for drinking and/or agricultural purposes.
Oxygen saturation or dissolved oxygen (DO) is a relative measure of the amount of oxygen
dissolved in a medium. DO is naturally present in water and tends to be manipulated in
order to suit spesific applications; in drinking water a higher DO level improves the taste, but
at the expense of higher rates of pipe corrosion, consequently industry tends to minimise the
DO level to reduce maintenance costs.
You are required to determine the DO level in a series of water samples and ascertain
whether they comply with Malaysian Water Standards.
There are many chemicals present in water, not all of them are desirable. Chlorine is added
to water to kill bacteria which is good, but excessive quantities are hazardous to human
health. Iron from the degradation of pipes is inevitable and although its presence is not
hazardous to health, it does affect the taste of water and may discolour foods, which come in
contact with it. The presence of sulphates and phosphorous in water are a consequence of
using everyday items like cleaning products, which can pollute water supplies poisoning plant
and animal life.
You are required to determine the levels of chlorine (total and free), iron, sulphates and
phosphorous in a series of water samples and ascertain whether they comply with Malaysian
Water Standards.

SOAPS AND DETERGENT
2.1
Introduction
Soap is a generic term for the sodium or potassium salts of long-chain organic acids (fatty acids)
made from naturally occurring esters in animal fats and vegetable oils. All Organic acids contain
the RC02H functional group, where R is a shorthand notation for methyl, CH3-, ethyl CH3CH2-,
Propyl, CH3CH2CH2-, or more complex hydrocarbon chains called alkyl groups. Chemists use
the R shorthand notation because these groups can be very large and the hydrocarbon chain has
little effect on the compound's chemical reactivity. All esters contain the RC02R functional
group.
The R groups in soaps are hydrocarbon chains that generally contain 12 to18 carbon atoms.
Sodium fatty acids such as lauric (vegetable oil), palmitic (palm oil), and stearic (animal fat)
acids are just a few examples of soaps.
CH3(CH2)10COONa
sodium laurate
CH3(CH2)16COONa
sodium stearate
The hydrocarbon chain in soaps may contain saturated (no double bond) or unsaturated chains
(contains double bonds). Sodium salts are usually solid therefore; most bars of soap are of
sodium salts. Potassium salts are the basis of liquid soaps, shaving creams, and greases. Fats and
vegetable oils are triglycerides. Triglycerides in an ester derived from three fatty acids. A
triglyceride made from three lauric acid molecules is shown in Figure 6-1.
Saponification is the basic hydrolysis of an ester producing a carboxylic acid salt and an alcohol
(Eq.3-1) .A lone pair of electrons on the OH- is attracted to the partially positively charged C
atom in the C=O bond in the ester (Eq.6-1). The C-OR' bond breaks generating a carboxylic acid
(RC02H) and an alcohol (R'OH). In the presence of NaOH, carboxylic are converted to their
sodium salts (RCO2-Na+).
When a triglyceride is saponified, three fatty acid salts (soaps) and glycerol are produced as
shown in Equation 6-2. The R groups in the triglyceride may or may not have the same
chailength (same number of carbons).Thus, different types of soaps may be produced from the
saponification of a particular triglyceride.

Theory
Soap is the salt of a weak acid. Most organic acids arc weak acids. Consequently, hydrolysis
occurs to some extent when soap dissolves in water. Soap solutions tend to be slightly alkaline
(basic) due to partial hydrolysis of the acid (Eq. 3).
(Equation 6-3)
The cleansing action of soaps results from two effects. Soaps are wetting agents that reduce the
surface tension of water, allowing the water molecules to encounter the dirty object. They are also
emulsifying agents. "Dirt" frequently consists of a grease or oil along with other organic species.
In general, organic compounds are nonpolar. Water is a polar species. These two substances will
not dissolve in each other because of their dissimilar characteristics (the "Like Dissolves Like"
rule). Soaps cross the boundary between polar and nonpolar because they contain a polar
hydrophobic (water- hating) end and a polar hydrophilic (water loving) end as shown in Figure
6-2.
Figure 6-2: Molecular structure, a) a line drawing, b) of sodium stearate. In a line drawing, all carbon and
hydrogen atoms are omitted at the intersection of each line as a shorthand method of drawing molecule. It is
understood that the C and H atoms are part of the molecule.
Because soaps have both polar and nonpolar region in the molecule, they are soluble in both
polar and nonpolar species. The hydrophobic
compound like grease
and
(nonpolar)
surround the grease and oils and break them up into microscopic droplets can remain suspended
in the water. These suspended microscopic droplets are called micelles (Figure 6-3). Micelles
contain very small amounts of oil or grease
in
Water supplies in certain areas are acidic as a result of acid rain or pollution, or "hard" due to the
dissolved mineral content. Both acidic and "hard" water reduce the cleansing action of soap.
Soap is the salt of a weak acid. In the presence of a stronger acid, the sodium salt
is converted
to

passes over. Normally, soaps made from sodium and potassium fatty acid salts are soluble in
water. However, in the presence of these metal ions, the Na+ and K+ soluble salts convert to
insoluble Ca2+ , Mg2+ , and Fe 3+ salts (E q. 3-5).
(Equation 6-5)
In either acidic or "hard" water, the soluble soaps form insoluble salts that becomes a scummy
ring on bathtubs and black areas on shirt collars .The cleansing ability of soap is reduced because
soap molecules are removed from solution. There are several techniques used to circumvent the
problems generated by hard water. Water can be "softened" via removing hard water ions from
solution using ion exchange techniques or by adding water-softening agents, such as sodium
phosphate (Na3PO4) o rsodium carbonate (Na2CO3). Water-softening agents react with the Ca2+ ,
Mg2+ , and Fe 3+, removing them from water (Eq. 6-6 and 6-7) and preventing the reaction of these
ions with soap (Eq. 6-4 and 6-5).
(Equation 6-6)
(Equation 6-7)
Thus Syndets was design to overcome the soap problem with hard water. Syndets differ
from soaps in that the nonpolar fatty acids groups are replaced with alkyl or aryl sulfonic acids
(ROS03H). The alkyl or aryl sulfonic acids have long chains of carbon atoms giving the
hydrophobic (nonpolar) end. The salt of the sulfonic acid (sulfonate) group forms the hydrophilic
end of the molecule. The difference in polar groups is one of the key distinctions between a soap
and a synthetic detergent. Syndets form micelles and cleanse in the same manner as soaps. Two
examples of synthetic detergents are shown in Figure 6-4.
Because sulfonic acid is a stronger acid than carboxylic acids, Syndets do not precipitate in
acidic solutions. Furthermore, alkyl and aryl sulfonates do not form insoluble salts in the
presence of the typical hard water ions. Thus, synthetic detergents remain soluble in both acidic
and "hard" water.
2.4 Procedure
2.4.1 Soap preparation
1. Place 25 mL of vegetable oil in a 250-mL Erlenmeyer flask. Add 20 mL of ethanol
and 25 mL of 6 M sodium hydroxide solution to the flask. Stir the mixture with d
stirring rod to mix the contents of the flask.
2. Heat the 250-mL flask in a boiling-water bath inside of a 600-mL beaker.
3. Stir the mixture continuously during the heating process to prevent the mixture
from foaming. If the mixture should foam to the point of nearly overflowing, remove
the flask from the boiling-water bath until the foaming subsides, then continue
heating. Heat the mixture for 20-30 minute or until the alcohol odor is no longer
detectable.
4. Remove the paste-like mixture from the boiling-water bath and cool the flask in an
ice bath for 10-15 minutes.
5. While the flask is cooling assemble the vacuum filtration apparatus shown in
Figure 3-5. Secure the vacuum flask to a ring stand with a utility clamp to pre-vent
the apparatus from toppling over.
