bball14 Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 Why can you add about 20mL of water to about 5 ml of vinegar and it not have any effect on determining the concentrations when doing a titration?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budullewraagh Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 um.....if you add water to vinegar (i take it the vinegar is 5% ethanoic acid) it becomes more dilute... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bball14 Posted November 6, 2004 Author Share Posted November 6, 2004 but that's the question that i'm asking...the vinegar's concentration doesn't change when water is added and i don't know why that is??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budullewraagh Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 it does change. could you explain how you arrived at your conclusion?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
