A company produces a colorless vinegar that is 5.0% HC2H3O2 in water. Using thymol blue as an indicator, a student titrates a 15.0-milliliter sample of the vinegar with 43.1 milliliters of a 0.30 M NaOH (aq) solution until the acid is neutralized. Identify the negative ion in the NaOH(aq) used in this titration.

The negative ion in aqueous sodium hydroxide, NaOH(aq) is hydroxide ion, OH-.

What is a neutralization reaction?

A neutralization reaction is a reaction between an acid and a base to form salt and water only.

The reaction between vinegar and NaOH is a neutralization reaction which produces a salt and water only.

NaOH is composed of a positive sodium ion, Na+ and a negative hydroxide ion, OH-

Therefore, the negative ion in the NaOH(aq) used in this titration is hydroxide ion, OH-.
