"There's Acid in my Candy?" is an NGSS aligned gravimetric titration lab activity for on-level, honors, advanced placement, or dual credit chemistry students. Students will evaluate whether or not hard candy contains citric acid using an acid-base titration. This lab uses dropper bottles instead of burets for classrooms and classes with lower budgets or who cannot use burets for other reasons. This chemical reaction lab includes:Introductory reading about citric acid in candyReading about titra
