Weak organic acids such as tartaric acid, malic acid, lactic acid, acetic acid and citric acid,
are significant constituents in determining the sensory properties of wines and beverages.
Soft drinks often contain varying quantities of several acids, which give sodas their tart
flavour.
Acids can be classified as monobasic, dibasic, or tribasic, depending on how many protons
donated to the base during neutralization.
In sodas such as Sprite and 7-Up, the acids are carbonic acid (from carbonated
water) and citric acid.
Citric acid, C6H8O7, reacts with NaOH(aq) in one of the following ways:
You are to plan a titration to determine which of the above equations correctly
represents the neutralisation between citric acid and NaOH.
You are provided with a can (330 cm3) of 7-Up which has been opened so that it
is decarbonated and you can assume that the only acid present is citric acid and
its concentration is 0.0420 mol dm-3;
Solid NaOH;
Deionised water.

(a) A standard aqueous NaOH solution may be prepared using solid NaOH so that it can
be titrated with citric acid. Suggest an appropriate concentration of the standard
aqueous NaOH solution to be prepared. Show your working.

10.00 cm3 titre values 35.00 cm3]
