Chemistry Question about finding the % of tartaric acid in wine?
Q. I am doing a chem write-up and need to find the % of tartaric acid originally in the wine. I have the concentration of the wine initially, which was: 0.0712M; and the amount of wine that this was for was 20mL, and the molar mass for tartaric acid is 150.087g/mol. Please help, it would be greatly appreciated.

A. I don't think you have given enough information. Do you mean the concentration of tartaric acid in the wine? Are the units correct? - do you mean M which is moles per litre, or do you mean there were 0.0712 moles tartaric acid in 20 mL of wine? or do you mean there were 0.712 grams tartaric acid?

A. Well.. after some quick Googling to figure out what the heck tartaric acid was, this is what I got: H2C4H4O6 + 2NaOH Na2C4H4O6 +2H2O acid + base salt + water Note: H2C4H4O6 = tartaric acid and NaOH is obviously = sodium hydroxide [Answer: see above]

A. Baking powder is used to impart fluffiness to a cake... Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate decomposes to Sodium Carbonate and Carbon-di-oxide...The Carbon-di-oxide helps make the cake fluffy...Sodium Carbonate is bitter in taste...which is removed using tartaric acid

Asked by hzairyarzms - Wed Jun 11 00:15:17 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Tartaric acid isn't as much 'made' as naturally formed. Tartaric acid is a white crystalline organic acid. It occurs naturally in many plants, particularly grapes, bananas, and tamarinds, and is one of the main acids found in wine. It is added to other foods to give a sour taste, and is used as an antioxidant. Salts of tartaric acid are known as tartrates. It is a dihydroxy derivative of dicarboxylic acid. Tartaric acid was first isolated from potassium tartrate, known to the ancients as tartar, c. 800 by the Persian alchemist Jabir ibn Hayyan,[citation needed] who was also responsible for numerous other basic chemical processes still in use today. The modern process was developed in 1769 by the Swedish chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele. The… [cont.]

A. Mix equal amounts of the citric acid with powdered sugar (or even granulated). You can make some lemon cookies and before you put it on the baking sheet, roll the cookies in that mix to give the cookie more puckery flavored yumminess.

A. pH is a scale from 0 to 14. pH 7 is neutral. pH 0 to less than 7 is acidic range. Smaller the number more ( stronger is the acid) pH more than 7 to 14 is alkaline range. Bigger number indicate stronger alkaline nature. Of the listed compounds. Tartaric acid being an acid ( other compounds are salts) will have acidic ph and least of all. So pH 3 for tartaric acid. Calcium carbonate has very little solubility in water and is a salt of weak acid and a base so pH will be close to 7( may be 11 to pick from the list). Sodium nitrate a salt of strong acid and strong alkali will hae pH close to 7 ( it can 9 picking from the list). Calcium oxide will react with water of solution to give Ca(OH)2 though it has low solubility in water will have… [cont.]

Asked by nicole - Fri Oct 10 10:46:37 2008 - - 1 Answers - 1 Comments

A. tartaric acid is a diprotic acid which means for every "mole" of tartaric acid there are two moles of protons available for reaction. so for 2.075 grams of tartaric acid this is equal to 2.075/150.9 grams/mole = 0.013 moles of tartaric acid so one will have 2 X 0.0138 moles of protons = 0.02767 moles of protons
