y = -0.0013x + 0.9603
= -0.0013(25) + 0.9603
= 0.9278
d2 = 0.9278
Therefore,
V = 100Vx / Vs + 25000d2/NM2Vs
Where V is the volume of sodium hydroxide required to neutralize hydrochloric acid and acetic acid
Vx is the volume of sodium hydroxide required to neutralize hydrochloric acid in 5ml
d2 is the density of methyl acetate
N is the molarity of sodium hydroxide
M2 is the molecular mass of methyl acetate
V = 100(26.5) / (104.6) + 25000(0.9278)/(0.2)(74.08)(104.6)
= 25.33 + 14.97
= 40.3 ml

= -0.0013(39) + 0.9603
= 0.9096
d2 = 0.9096
Therefore,
V = 100Vx / Vs + 25000d2/NM2Vs
Where V is the volume of sodium hydroxide required to neutralize hydrochloric acid and acetic acid
Vx is the volume of sodium hydroxide required to neutralize hydrochloric acid in 5ml
d2 is the density of methyl acetate
