Standard Solution (Part A and B)

ABSTRACT The purpose of this experiment is to prepare a standard solution of potassium hydrogen phthalate and use titration to perform an acid/base reaction between the potassium hydrogen phthalate and sodium hydroxide to standardize approximately 0.10 M sodium hydroxide solution. To prepare the Potassium Hydrogen phthalate, a 2.00 grams of KHP was measured to an accurate measurement of 1.980 grams. A total of 100 mL of water was mixed with the KHP solution in the volumetric flask to finally prepare an acidic KHP solution. The molar mass of KHP was calculated and came to be 208.252 grams per mole. To find the moles of KHP, the mass of KHP (1.980 g) was divided by the molar mass of KHP ( 208.252 g) and .00951 moles are in the 1.980 grams of KHP. To find the molarity, the number of moles of KHP (.00951 moles) was divided by the volume of water in liters (.100 L) giving an answer of 0.0951 M. The second part of the experiment is the reaction of acid/base through titration. The acid, KHP, was placed in one burette while 100 mL of base, stock solution of NaOH, was placed in another burette. 25 mL of KHP was placed into the Erlenmeyer flask, which was also recorded as the volume of acid in the flask. A total of 19 mL of base, NaOH, was required for the endpoint, which was indicated by a very pale pink color. To calculate the molarity of NaOH, the following equation was used MNaOH x VNaOH = MKHP x VKHP therefore the molarity was .125 M.

INTRODUCTION

This lab experiment covers the preparation of standard solution and the acid/base titration. The first part of the lab is to prepare a standard solution of Potassium hydrogen per. A standard solution is a solution of known concentration, in which it is prepared using exacting techniques to make sure that the molarity is to the highest accuracy. The stock solution on the other hand, which is also a base in this experiment, is a large volume of a common reagent prepared

    In the experiment, standardization of NaOH with HC1 solution is carried out. Solid NaOH is hygroscopic where significant amounts of water vapor can be absorbed. Also, as NaOH is a strong base, significant amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide can be absorbed too. It is also clear that NaOH cannot serve as a primary standard and thus it needs standardization by a primary or secondary standard. NaOH solutions can be directly titrated versus standardized HCl using phenolphthalein or methyl red indicator. In this case, methyl red is used as an indicator. The colours change from red to completely purple pink indicate the standardization is achieved. If reasonable concentrations of the acid and base are used, very sharp end points can be achieved. The…

    In this experiment we experimented with titration. We saw the effects of titration on an acid and then on a base. The acid we used was hydro chloric acid and the base was ammonia. The acid turned pinkish red when properly titrated and the base turned clear. We used phenolphthalein as the titrate which turns red in acidic solutions and clear in basic solutions. The control aspects of this lab were the hydrochloric acid and ammonia. The independent variable was the titrate the phenolphthalein. We measured how many drops of the phenolphthalein it took to titrate the acid or the base.…

    First, estimating how much NaOH solution was needed became first step. NaOH solution was prepared in advance. For this step, dried KHP was weighed out 0.2 to 0.3 g and put into 250 mL of Erlenmeyer flask. 25-50 mL of distilled water was added to dissolve KHP. Even though some KHP remained, added NaOH solution would dissolve it. From this estimating titration, mass of KHP neutralizing 40 mL of NaOH solution was computed. Blank titration was performed with 65 mL of distilled water and 2-3 drops of phenolphthalein.…

    Three titrations were carried out: Acetic acid/NaOH, Tris/HCl and Gylcine/NaOH. 25ml of the weak acid or weak base was put into a beaker and its pH measured. Then it was titrated with the strong acid or strong base respectively while measuring the pH of the buffer (using a pH probe) on addition of every 1 ml of acid or base from the burette. Two point calibration was carried out prior to each titration using the three calibration solutions of pH 4, 7 and 9.2; for the Acetic acid/NaOH the calibration solutions used were: 4 and 7, for the Tris/HCl and for the Gylcine/NaOH the solutions used were 7 and 9.2. When carrying out the titration plot a rough graph in real time to immediately highlight any anomalies.

    This experiment demonstrates the most common method for obtaining standard solutions for titrimetric analysis using the very essential technique of titration. NaOH was standardized using a primary standard KHP, by titration, this is an excellent method to prepare a secondary standard because of its high level of accuracy. KHP was used because it is of high purity, high molar mass which yields lower massing errors and reacts well with the solution it is titrated with. NaOH was the…

    Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to demonstrate an example of how to determine the unknown molarity of hydrochloric acid by titration with a base (sodium hydroxide). Titration is a common laboratory method of quantitative chemical analysis that is used to determine the unknown concentration of an identified analyte (wekipedia). The first step will be measuring and combining water and acid (Hydrochloric acid). An indicator anthocyanin will be added to the solution to change the color to pink. Anthocyanin is a water-soluble vacuolar pigment that may appear red, purple, or blue depending on the pH (Wikipedia). This pink color acts as a pH meter and will show a change in color to represent a change in the pH. As the base (sodium hydroxide) is added, the solution will then change color (this is referred to as the “stoichiometric end point”). This color change represents the increase of pH, as well as showing that the moles of the acid in the solution are equal to the moles of the base (Survey of Chemistry lab manual). Using a dilution equation of M1xV1=M2xV2, the concentration of the hydrochloric acid can be calculated. M1=NaOH(molarity), V1=NaOH(volume), M2=HCl(molarity), V2=HCl(volume).…

    With the given volume measurement of KHP and NaOH, the students experimented to calculate the mass of unknown acid and its equivalence point using a method called titration and titration curve. The known volume of an acid solution would be titrated by slowly adding drops of solution into NaOH, and the volume of base needed to react with the acid is measured throughout. By using those data, the students are able to find what they were trying to calculate. On this lab, the students found the unknown acid, 4.36 x 10-5, and the equivalence point of 8.4, as well as the value of pH.…

    A portion of KHT (1 to 1.5 g) was added into about 100 mL of deionised water to prepare a saturated KHT solution. Several such solutions were prepared at various temperatures between 10°C and 50 °C, and filtrated into dry 250-mL conical flasks. For solutions made above or below the room temperature, their temperatures dropped or increased during filtrations. For each solution, two portion of 25.00±0.03 mL were pipetted into two 250-mL conical flasks and titrated with 0.07274 M of NaOH solution respectively with phenolphthalein as indicator. The temperatures of the KHT solutions and the corresponding volumes of NaOH solution used for titration are shown in Table 1. For each row, the temperature is the average of the temperatures immediately before and after the filtration, and the volume is the average of the two titrations.…

    Titration is a procedure used in chemistry in order to determines the molarity of an acid or a base. In the other words, it is also consider as acid-base neutralization reaction (Darrell D. Ebbing 1976). A chemical reaction is set up between a know volume of a solution of unknown concentration and a known volume of a solution with a known concentration. The relative acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution can be determined using the relative acid or base equivalent. An acid equivalent is equal to one mole of , and an base equivalent is equal to one mole of . When the solution of known concentration are reacted to the point where the number of acid equivalent equals the number of base equivalents , the equivalent point is reached . For example, the reaction between potassium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid : KOH + HCl .The equivalent point of a strong acid or strong base will occur at pH7 . However, for the weak acids and bases , the equivalent point will usually no occur at pH 7 .The indicator can be used to estimate the equivalent point by observing the colour change of solution.…
