I need to find out the concentration of Acetic acid in Xylene by using titration (NaOH - Phenolphthalein) but I couldn't get accurate result please suggest a proper method.
Have you thought about using 1H NMR instead of titration? Since you have an organic system, this should give you reliable results over a wide concentration range--provided you can separate the methyl signals.
Thanks Wolfgang Baumann and Nadien Khaled Fahim , This testing is required for day-to-day process control of a manufacturing process that is why I tried with easy titration method instead of other.
Dear all, I wonder if the acetic acid is soluble in xylene. Any titration in non-aqueous media is well known including the acetic acid case. By google search of 'acetic acid titration in non-aqueous solvents' you will endup with many downlable documents. My Regards
