What is the chemical reaction when acetic acid is combined with sodium hydroxide (NaOH)?
Can this reaction be used to determine the concentration of either the acetic acid or sodium hydroxide?
Yes, the reaction between acetic acid and sodium hydroxide can be used to determine the concentration of either of the two solutions. The process is called titration and involves adding an indicator solution to the solution being tested and slowly adding the other solution until the indicator changes color, signaling that the reaction is complete.
