Acid Base Titration Lab Report Conclusion

1503 Words7 Pages

Title:
The use of volumetric flask, burette and pipette in determining the concentration of NaOH solution.

Objective:
• To carry out acid-base titration.
• To determine the end point with the use of indicators such as phenolphthalein.
• To find out the concentration of base when the concentration of acid is known.
• To do calculations related to titration.

Theory and Background:
Titration is a laboratory analytical method to determine the concentration of a solution or a reactant when the concentration of another solution is known. Acid-base titration is a method often used to determine the concentration of a basic solution, given the concentration of an acidic solution is known and vice versa.

Analysis and Calculations
The experiment is a strong acid-strong base titration. From this experiment, we can analyze concentration of base when the concentration of acid is known. The HCl solution, added with a few drops of phenolphthalein, is placed into the Erlenmeyer flask and the NaOH solution is slowly added from the burette into the HCl solution in small drops. Neutralization occurred in the titration process:

NaOH (aq) + HCl (aq) → NaCl (aq) + H2O (l)

This reaction shows that 1 mol of NaOH will react with 1 mol of HCl to produce 1 mol of the salt (NaCl) and 1 mol of water.
Phenolphthalein indicator is used to determine the end-point of the titrated solution. It can be determined when the colourless titrated solution changes to pink colour
After we recorded the readings from the burette, we need to calculate using the given formula and the average volume of NaOH solution used from the results.

Take II, III, IV result,
Average volume of NaOH solution …show more content…

From the above calculations, we can conclude that the results of titration III is the most accurate as it is less than 3 as stated above, which is 1.059.

Discussion According to our results above, the readings obtained for the 4 titrations are not very constant. The reading obtained for the first experiment has a big difference when compared to the other three readings. This may be because we didn’t catch the end point for the first experiment. As for the other three readings, they are not very constant as we catch the end point differently for each titration. The colour of the solution might be slightly different at the end of each titration.

Theoretically, the volume of base needed to neutralize the acid should be the same as the volume of the acid. The volume of acid used in this experiment is 25 cm³. So the volume of base needed to neutralize the acid will be also 25 cm³. According to our results, all the readings fell far short of the original reading. This may be cause by the extra amount of phenolphthalein indicator added into the acid, causing it to turn pink faster. Another reason is that we did not catch the end point

5. Question 5: a) As mentioned in the manual, we have the ratio (K/H+ ), if H+ was lower than K then the equivalent point will be achieved and it will change color. And if H+ was more than K then the solution we are titrating will be the same, the equivalent point won’t be achieved, and it will be acidic solution. And to find the value of H+ is by having the value of pH, therefore the pH has changed from 7 to 9, which is by shifting from 10-7 to 10 -8 by adding the 0.01 of the base, and it will shift again from 10 -8 to 10 -9 by adding another 0.01 of the base to the solution , the different that’s added between the two shifting are close to each other which indicates that the

Next, about 10 mL of both solutions, Red 40 and Blue 1, were added to a small beaker. The concentration of the stock solution were recorded, 52.1 ppm for Red 40 and 16.6 ppm for Blue 1. Then, using the volumetric pipette, 5 mL of each solution was transferred into a 10 mL volumetric flask, labelled either R1 or B1. Deionized water was added into the flask using a pipette until the solution level reached a line which indicated 10 mL. A cap for the flask was inserted and the flask was invented a few times to completely mix the solution. Then, the volumetric pipette was rinsed with fresh deionized water and

Standard Sodium hydroxide solution is the alkaline solution that will be used to titrate with soda water as it is a common solution that can be easily found in an ordinary school laboratory. It is a strong base. Carbonic acid is a weak acid which will react with a strong base to form a basic (pH > 7) solution. When Phenolphthalein is added to Soda water, the resultant solution is colourless. After titration with a strong base (sodium hydroxide), the solution will turn to pink as the solution becomes

Sulphuric Acid Experiment

The temperature of the sulphuric acid was not measured throughout the experiment, however the room in which the experiment was conducted was kept constant, so the chance of any large error due to unknown temperature of the sulphuric acid was most likely reduced. The amount of sulphuric acid used was also controlled by measuring 100mL with a 100mL measuring cylinder to ensure that the results would be consistent. The volume of the agar cubes was calculated from the surface area of each agar cube, both before and after they had been in the sulphuric acid. This increased the reliability of the results as it allowed the rate of diffusion of the sulphuric acid into the agar cubes to be calculated more accurately. The concentration of the acid was 0.1M, which was placed in all three agar cubes to maintain consistency of results.

Acids are proton donors in chemical reactions which increase the number of hydrogen ions in a solution while bases are proton acceptors in reactions which reduce the number of hydrogen ions in a solution. Therefore, an acidic solution has more hydrogen ions than a basic solution; and basic solution has more hydroxide ions than an acidic solution. Acid substances taste sour. They have a pH lower than 7 and turns blue litmus paper into red. Meanwhile, bases are slippery and taste bitter.

That caused a new initial reading of NaOH on the burette (see Table1 & 2). The drops were caused because the burette was not tightened enough at the bottom to avoid it from being hard to release the basic solution for titrating the acid. The volume of the acid used for each titration was 25ml. The volume of the solution was then calculated by subtracting the initial volume from the final volume. We then calculated the average volume at each temperature.
