Acid Base Titration bre'ana March 1, 2013

Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to determine the concentration of a solution of NaOH by titration with a standard solution of HCl. It was also the purpose to determine the concentration of a sample of white vinegar by titration with a standard solution of NaOH.
Introduction: Using the method of titration is how the experiment gets to the conclusion of the concentration of a solution. When doing this experiment, measurement is very important to obtain the solutions correct concentration. Noting the equivalence point is also another part of this experiment. When neutralizing an acid with a base, using an indicator shows rather the colors indicate the reactions of each acid and base pair. A balanced equation and simple calculations will then allow us to determine the concentration of the solution.
Procedure: Within this experiment, we used two 50mL burets, distilled water, 10mL graduated cylinder, vinegar (acetic acid, HC2H3O2), phenolpthalein and 2 flasks of 125mL and 250mL. With using these materials, we first determine the titration of base unknown concentration. Using a buret, we allowed the buret to fill with the NaOH solution and it gained the initial volume of 5mL. After doing this, we read the initial and the final volume of the buret after the 10.0mL of acid was added. Then, three drops of phenolphthalein was added into the flask. We swirled the flask to mix and placed the flask on a white sheet of paper. Doing this, we saw that a color has been changed. Since there is a new color, because of the addition of the NaOH, we made sure to keep swirling our flask. The end point of this experiment is when we saw that the color had changed to a pink color. This was when we hit the point of the titration of NaOH. When doing the titration of Vinegar, the procedure was going to be about the same. To find out the titration of vinegar, we used 10.0mL of vinegar to a clean 250mL flask. Then we added 100mL of

    2. A solution of household vinegar (a mixture of acetic acid and water) is to be analyzed. A pipet is used to measure out 10.0 mL of the vinegar, which is placed in a 250-mL volumetric flask. Distilled water is added until the total volume of solution is 250 mL. A 25.0-mL portion of the diluted solution is measured out with a pipet and titrated with a standard solution of sodium hydroxide.…

    A reaction between solutions of acids and alkalis that give neutral pH products are known as neutralising reactions. In this experiment I know the concentration of the alkali (sodium carbonate) and I shall use this knowledge to find out the roughly known concentration of the acid (sulphuric acid). [4] When an indicator is mixed with the acid the solution will turn to a colour. When enough sodium carbonate is added to the coloured solution it will turn to another colour. This is called the end point and it means the solution is neutral. In a titration this process is used to find out the concentration of a solution by mixing it with a solution with known concentration.…

    The purpose of this lab is to determine the concentration of HCl when titrated with a standardized NaOH solution, through means of the titration method. My hypothesis is When an unknown concentration of HCl is titrated with a known volume of standardized NaOH solution, one can gather enough data to determine the concentration of the unknown (HCl). My prediction is If an unknown concentration of HCl is titrated with a known volume of NaOH, then one can gather enough data to determine the concentration of the unknown which is HCl.…

    III.Background Information: Volumetric analysis is the use of volume measurements to analyze an unknown; a method of this is titration. Titration is most often used to analyze the amount of acid or base in a sample or solution in acid-base chemistry. In a titration experiment, a known volume of an acid solution would be “titrated” by slowly adding dropwise a standard solution, whose concentration is accurately known, of a strong base. The titrant reacts with and consumes the acid via a neutralization reaction. The point at which stoichiometric amounts of the acid and base have combined is the equivalence point. An example of this is shown in the equation: HCl(aq)+NaOH(aq)NaCl(aq)+H2O(l). The number of moles is given by knowing the exact concentration and volume added of the titrant. The latter, in turn, is related by stoichiometry to the number of moles of acid initially present in the unknown. To detect the equivalence point, indicators are usually added to acid-base titrations. The point at which the indicator changes color and signals the equivalence point has been reached is the endpoint of the titration. In the equation above the pH of the solution would be acidic before the equivalence point and basic after the equivalence point. The pH should be exactly 7 at the equivalence point, corresponding to the neutral products. If and indicator changes color around pH of 7 it is suitable for the titration of a strong acid with a…

    The experiment began with the preparation and standardization of NaOH solution. It was calculated that 2.00 grams of NaOH pellets were needed to prepare 0.5 L of 0.1 M NaOH solution. The solution was then standardized by conducting three titration trials. It was calculated that 0.7148 grams of KHP were necessary to neutralize 35 mL of the 0.1 M NaOH. Three samples of KHP were weighed approximating this number (Table 1). Each sample was mixed with 40 mL of deionized water and 2 drops of phenolphthalein in 3 Erlenmeyer flasks. Each flask was then titrated with the NaOH to a light pink endpoint. The volumes of NaOH were recorded, averaged, and the standardized. The molarity of the NaOH was found to be 0.0981.…

    For the firsts three sets of titration trials of baking soda powder was used. About 0.3 grams of baking soda powder were measured and mixed with 20mL of deionized water in a beaker. Three drops of the indicator bromothymol blue were put in the baking soda solution and mixed well. A burette and funnel were rinsed off using water and cleaned well. The burette and funnel were rinsed a second time using 5mL of the HCl solution that was prepared the previous week and disposed of in a clean beaker. The rest of the HCl solution was then put in the burette. The beaker containing the baking soda solution was placed under the burette. 1mL of the HCl solution was released at a time into the beaker with the baking soda until a change was observed. The results were recorded. The process was repeated three more times and the results were recorded. For the second sets of titration trails, fresh squeezed lemon juice was used. 5mL of lemon juice were used and three drops of the indicator phenolphthalein were put in the juice. The burette was then rinsed off with water and rinsed off a second time using NaOH and disposed of in a clean beaker. The rest of the NaOH solution was put in the burette and the beaker containing the lemon juice was placed under the burette. 1mL of the NaOH solution were released at a time into the beaker containing the lemon juice until changes were observed.
