Phosphorsyre i Cola Udarbejdet af: Lena, Yasmin, Qendrim og Aleksandar Forsøgsdato: 5-02-2014 Formål: Formålet med dette forsøg er, at undersøge hvor meget phosphorsyre der er i forholdvist Cola og Pepsi samt sammenligne deres indhold af syre efter afgasning af væskerne. Teori: pH som funktion af det tilsatte volumen af basen der titreres med, vises ved syrernes titrerkurvre. Disse titrerkurver anvendes til at bestemme koncentration samt pKs-værdi. Ved en for høj syrekoncentration, stemmer
