RAJESH PATEL, 0175 CHEMISTRY COURSEWORK, PLANNING SKILL FINDING THE PARCENTAGE OF CITRIC ACID IN LEMON SQUASH (1) Aim The aim of my investigation is to find out the percentage of citric acid present in lemon squash by using a neutralisation method of titration or volumetric analysis, and by using sodium hydroxide as the neutralising agent (it is an alkali). Background Knowledge. What is titration? Titration is a procedure for analysing a solution by slowly adding another solution, in this way you are able to find out the minimum volume required to neutralise a solution, the analyte (constituent of interest). The solution added (known as the titrant) has a reagent, whose concentration known (also known as the standard solution, this is added to the analyte using a volumetric burette to measure precisely the volume let out. When enough titrant is added, the end point is achieved. An end point can be found by either using visually, by adding an indicator,...
