Question
A student determines the acetic acid concentration of a sample of distilled vinegar by titration of 25.00 mL of the vinegar with standardized sodium hydroxide solution using phenolphthalein as an indicator. Which error will give an acetic acid content for the vinegar that is too low?
A.✓ Correct
Some of the vinegar is spilled when being transferred from the volumetric flask to the titration flask.
B.
The NaOH solution is allowed to stand for a prolonged period after standardization and absorbs carbon dioxide from the air.
C.
