Homework Statement
This is a lab for Chemistry in grade 12.
I'll give some basic info I have.
Juice substance is Tang.
A solution of juice is prepared by dissolving 4.00 grams of crystals in 100.0 mL of solution. The juice solution is then titrated using a given solution of sodium hydroxide. Phenolphthalein is used as an indicator.
Here is my observations,
Trial # NaOH(aq) added (mL)
Trial 1 3.31
Trial 2 3.18
Trial 3 3.27
Homework Equations
a) find mol/L of acid (I can do this but I cannot figure out the balanced equation)
b) how many grams of pure citric acid is in 100 g of tang (as a percent mass)
*Citric Acid is in your databook. Assume it loses 3 hydrogens.
My teacher said you shouldn't need the formula of the Tang
The Attempt at a Solution
This is all I can think of, I do not know what it will turn into.
C3H5O(COOH)3(aq) + NaOH(aq) ==>
