About this document

Coca Cola Potentiometric Titration by Daniela Delgadillo Restrepo is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document analyzes the concentration of citric acid in the sports drink Gatorade through a potentiometric titration. The titration determined the citric acid concentration to be 0.011M and its acidity constant (pKa) to be 5.38. The pKa value can be explained by citric acid interacting with other components in Gatorade, causing it to lose a proton before the titration. The document also discusses how the small amount of citric acid acts as a preservative and flavor enhancer in the drink.
