Program Outline:
This program, “Titration Analysis: Determining Citric Acid Concentration in Fruit Juices,” offers a comprehensive exploration of volumetric analysis through the practical application of acid-base titration.
Participants will begin by understanding the fundamental principles and applications of volumetric analysis, followed by a detailed review of acid-base titration techniques, including the use of indicators and standard solutions. The program then transitions into the core activity: the titration of citric acid in various fruit juice samples. Students will learn to prepare samples, set up the titration apparatus, perform the titration procedure accurately, and record their data.
Following the experiment, participants will analyse their results, calculate the concentration of citric acid, and discuss potential sources of error. The program concludes with a discussion of real-world applications of volumetric analysis, reinforcing the key learning outcomes of understanding volumetric analysis, mastering acid-base titration, and applying these skills to determine citric acid concentration.
