Description
10.0-mL sample of pineapple juice was titrated with 0.100 M sodium hydroxide solution. the average volume of NaOH required to reach the endpoint was 12.8 mL
a.Calculate the number of moles of sodium hydroxide required to reach the endpoint
answer:
b.Using the mole ratio for the neutralization reaction shown in equation 1, determine the number of moles of citric acid in 10.0 mL of the of pineapple juice
Explanation & Answer
a) convert volume of NaOH to liters. Multiply by the concentration, the result is in moles.
b) moles of citric acid = moles of NaOH
