Identify the chemical reaction involved in the titration: CH₃COOH (acetic acid) reacts with NaOH (sodium hydroxide) to form CH₃COONa (sodium acetate) and H₂O (water). The balanced equation is: CH₃COOH + NaOH → CH₃COONa + H₂O.
Determine the moles of CH₃COOH present in the solution. Use the formula: moles = concentration × volume. Convert the volume from mL to L by dividing by 1000.
Since the reaction between CH₃COOH and NaOH is a 1:1 molar ratio, the moles of NaOH required to reach the equivalence point will be equal to the moles of CH₃COOH calculated in the previous step.
Calculate the volume of NaOH solution needed to provide the required moles of NaOH. Use the formula: volume = moles / concentration. Ensure the concentration of NaOH is in mol/L.
Convert the volume of NaOH from liters to milliliters by multiplying by 1000, as the final answer should be in mL.
