Here is a sample calculation:
Data:
Mass of 50.0 mL vinegar: 51.0 g
Number of mL of vinegar to reach endpoint: 23.0 mL
Calculations:
Density of vinegar:
51.0 g/ 50.0 mL = 1.02 g/mL
Number of grams of vinegar added:
(1.02 g/mL) x (23.0 mL) = 23.5 g
Mass of C2H4O2 added:
(23.5 g) x (0.0500) = 1.18 g
Molecular Mass of C2H4O2 = 60.0 amu
Number of moles of C2H4O2 added:
(1.18 g/1) x (1 mole/60.0 grams) = 0.0197 moles
Number of moles of ammonia that exist in solution:
(0.0197 moles C2H4O2 /1)x(1 mole ammonia/1 mole C2H4O2) =
0.0197 moles ammonia
Concentration of ammonia:
0.0197 moles ammonia / 0.0100 L = 1.97 M
