Neutralizing Sodium Hydroxide Using Different Concentrations of Hydrochloric Acid
Neutralization experiment

AIM:-

To investigate how heat is given out in neutralizing sodium hydroxide
(NaOH) using different concentrations of Hydrochloric Acid.

Background Information:-

Substances that neutralize acids are called alkalis. An acid is a substance that forms hydrogen ions (H+ ) when placed in water. It can also be described as a proton donor as it provides H+ ions. An example of an acid is hydrochloric acid (HCl), Sulphuric acid (H2SO4) etc. An alkali is a soluble base and forms hydroxyl ions (OH-) when placed in water. It can be called a proton acceptor and will accept hydrogen ions to form H2O. An example of an alkali is Sodium Hydroxide
(NaOH).

Neutralization Reaction:-

[IMAGE]Acid + Alkali Salt + Water

[IMAGE]Hydrochloric acid + Sodium Hydroxide Sodium
Chloride + Water

[IMAGE]HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)

[IMAGE]H+ (aq) + Cl- (aq) + Na+ (aq) + OH- (aq) Na+
(aq) + Cl- (aq) +H+ + OH-

[IMAGE]The above is an example of a neutralization reaction, involving an acid and an alkali. The result is a salt and water. In every neutralization reaction, the metal in the alkali (Na+ here) takes the place oh the hydrogen in the acid, forming a metal compound called a salt. The hydrogen and the hydroxide ions react to form water. As bonds are made this is an exothermic reaction so heat will be given out and this will be shown as an increase in temperature. The chemical energy will be negative ( H is minus).

APPRATUS/MATERIALS:-

1. Polystyrene cup

    In my experiment I have found that 50 millilitres of HCL with 2 grams of sodium chloride had the highest conductivity rate compared to the second most conductive solution, 50 milliliters of vinegar with 2 grams of sodium chloride, and the last conductive solution, 50 milliliters of distilled water with 2 grams of sodium chloride. In my first hypothesis I stated if I added sodium chloride to distilled water, than the overall conductivity will become more conductive than just distilled water, since the sodium chloride will break down into it’s respective ions. I also noted the solution will however be less conductive compared to vinegar and HCL also encompassed in 2 grams of sodium chloride. Judging by my final results and several attempts, I…

    The respective volumes of each solution were measured out in graduated cylinders and combined in a large beaker (to increase surface area for evaporation). With added heat to speed up the process, the water dissolved off leaving only the white powdery solid KCl. 0.937 g of substance was the final mass which since the theoretical yield was 1 g gave a 93.7% yield. Some KCl was likely evaporated with the water and some was likely lost in transferring from the beaker to the watch glass, so a 93.7% yield is adequate.…

    The results and calculations shows that 1 tablet of Quick-eze is most effective in neutralizing the stomach because the number of moles of HCl reacted with the NaOH is 0.00216 moles, which is less than Gaviscon. The number of moles of NaOH that were added from the burette is 0.00327 moles (1 tablet of Gaviscon). However, for Quick-eze, the number of moles is 0.00216 moles (1 tablet). This means the average volume of the NaOH have affected the number of moles as the concentration of the sodium hydroxide is 0.1M. This means that if less NaOH was required to neutralise the acid, the number of moles of HCl neutralized by the ant-acid would be greater. For example; by using mole ratio, the number of moles of HCl reacted with the NaOH is 0.00216 moles (1 tablet of Quick-eze). The number of moles of HCl that were neutralized by Quick-eze was 0.00284 moles. Nevertheless, 0.00173 moles of HCl neutralized by Gaviscon. This explains that the excess amount (no of moles) of HCl was greater, which reacted with the NaOH.…
