Acetic Acid lab

We began the Acetic Acid Lab today. This lab means we get to do titrations first hand. Today we just practiced the lab because it's quite tricky. A titration is  where a solution of known concentration is used to determine the concentration of an unknown solution. The titrant  is added from a buret to a known quantity of the unknown solution until the reaction is complete. In our lab, the titrant was our base, NaOh and the unknown solution is the substance in the flask, KHP and Acetic Acid, The indicator  is phenolphthalein, which turns the solution pink when the endpoint is reached. Also phenolphthalein is my new favorite word.

Here's the video Frank showed us in preparation for the lab:
