Unknown Acid Lab

This week, we've been working on another titration lab that is pretty much identical to last week's Acetic Acid lab. The only thing that's changed is that we're not using acetic acid, but an unknown acid. We still titrated the unknown acid with NaOH, just like the acetic acid lab. Another thing that's been added to this lab is that we have to heat the solution as the unknown acid does not dissolve as easily as acetic acid. It's pretty neat seeing the solution turn into a mini tornado when the magnet is added to the flask and spins due to the magnet in the heater.
