Question

would bromocresol green be a good indicator for the titration of CH3COOH against NaOH?

Answer 1

According to my table, bromocresol green changes pH between 3.8 and 5.4. You can calculate the approximate pH for the equivalence point for CH3COOH vs NaOH and that is about 8.5 or so. What do you think?

Answer 2

For HCl I got between 3.48 and 5.68
And for CH3COOH I got between 6.20 and 7.16

Answer 3

What formula do you use to calculate the equivalence point?

And thanks for the help!

Answer 4

mL x M = mL x M will give you the equivalence point. And I have no idea what Alix is talking about. It doesn't have anything to do with this problem.
