This is for my vinegar titration lab: why are samples of vinegar weighed rather than measured ?
Nevermind, i got it
Samples of vinegar are weighed rather than measured because vinegar is a liquid and its volume can be affected by factors such as temperature, pressure, and air bubbles. Weighing the sample provides a more accurate and consistent measurement of the amount of vinegar being used in the titration.
To obtain the weight of a sample of vinegar, here are the steps you can follow:
1. Ensure that your balance is calibrated and set to zero.
2. Prepare a clean, dry container or beaker to hold the vinegar sample.
3. Place the container on the balance and wait until the reading stabilizes.
4. Carefully add the vinegar into the container until you reach the desired weight.
5. Record the weight of the container plus the vinegar, making sure to subtract the weight of the empty container to get the weight of the vinegar sample alone.
By weighing the vinegar sample, you can ensure a more precise measurement for your titration analysis.
