The aim of this lab is to determine the concentration of a potassium hydrogen phthalate solution (HKC8O4H4) using acid‐base titration. Introduction: Titration is a technique that chemists use to determine the unknown concentration of a known solution (we know what chemical is dissolved, but not how much in a solution). Because we know what the chemical is, we know how it will react with other chemicals and we can use that reaction to determine the concentration of the solution by measuring the formation of product(s). In the case of an unknown concentration of acid, we can use a known concentration of hydroxide base. This type of reaction is a neutralization reaction, where salt and water are products of the reaction: Acid + Base Salt + …show more content…
These calculations are outlined below. You may want to refer to your notes from lecture for additional examples. Determination of moles of base delivered: After each titration, you will need to determine the number of moles of sodium hydroxide used. First, you will need to know the molarity of the solution (the solution has been previously standardized, meaning it has a very accurate molarity that has been experimentally determined). Write this down when you start the titration. Next, you must determine the volume of the solution delivered to reach the equivalence point. Next, you will find the moles of base used in the titration: *Note that the volume of base is in L, not in mL Determine number of moles of HCl in flask: If you write the balanced reaction for the neutralization of sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid, you will see that the reaction proceeds in a 1:1 fashion. That is, for every hydroxide (OH‐) ion added, it can neutralize exactly one hydronium (H+) ion. This is not always the case for neutralization reactions, and is thus not always the case for acid‐base titrations. The general formula is below, where the determined moles of base from the equation above are multiplied by the stoichiometric ratio found by looking at the balanced

In order to begin this experiment, first one must find the balanced chemical equation for the reaction which occurs between the aluminum and copper (II) chloride. This balanced equation being 2Al(s)+3CuCl2 (aq)3Cu(s)+2AlCl3 (aq). After finding this equation, one must use the process of stoichiometry in order to find how many grams of aluminum are needed in order to produce 0.15 grams of copper. In this experiment, the purpose was to produce between 0.1 and 0.2 grams of copper, so one should attempt to produce 0.15 grams of copper seeing as it is the average of those two numbers. The first step in the stoichiometric process which one has to complete is finding how many grams of copper are in one mole of copper.
Because the compound dissolved in water, it is known that the compound is either polar or ionic3. Water is a polar substance, which maximizes its interactions with other polar molecules. Ionic substances also interact with and dissolve in water, because they can be considered an “extreme” case of polarity in which electrostatic forces hold atoms together. The interaction between water and the unknown compound can be described as “dissociation.” When a molecule is dissociated in a polar solvent, the anion of the molecule bonds with the solvent’s cation and vice versa4.
Procedure: As follows in Mrs. Lubin’s “Finding Moles within a Sample” Lab, found on https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m36zfJCLjGNxoswIMUya_U1HJ4agrHv2yhF6cv1JJU/edit. IV. Data & Calculations: See attached data table. V. Analysis: 1. Define the three identities of the mole.
3. Upon adding 20 drops of NaOH, a white precipitate was formed signifying acidic impurity. In the second NaOH mixture, about 20 drops were administered and no precipitate formed indicating that the ample is more pure than before. Data: Weight of flask = 75.10 grams Weight of the flask with solids =
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
Titration is the basis of the Titration Lab because the goal of the lab was to titrate. Titration is determining the concentration of a solution by neutralizing it with another known concentration. We titrated the NaOH in the HCl. The titration caused a
Each buffer was measured in a 100 mL graduated cylinder and contained in a 40 mL beaker. Once the reading of the buffer was stabilized, the program entered into reading 1. The probe was cleaned with distilled water and dried before being placed into the second buffer for reading 2. Once the second calibration was completed the pH probe was cleaned again. Next the probe was placed into the unknown solution.
After the reaction is finished, the percentage composition of each element in the product can be found and used to calculate the empirical formula, which is the lowest whole number ratio
The equation of the reaction between sodium hydroxide and ethanoic acid is as follows: CH3COOH + NaOH → CH3COONa + H2O We can measure the end point of titration process and we can also measure the amount of reactants. The concentration of ethanoic acid in the vinegar can be determined through stoichiometric calculations, Using the values obtained from the titration, and also the chemical equation as a reference. Phenolphthalein indicator is used in this acid-base titration Equipment and materials:
Its pH is greater than 7 and turns red litmus paper into blue. Acid- base neutralization is done by adding an acid to a base or a base to an acid until the substance has equal hydrogen and hydroxide ions. This is used to determine unknown concentration of a
Practical I: Acid-base equilibrium & pH of solutions Aims/Objectives: 1. To determine the pH range where the indicator changes colour. 2. To identify the suitable indicators for different titrations. 3.
The products will always be water and a salt. The balanced reaction equation for this experiment is the reaction below (Enthalpy of neutralization, 2018). 〖NaOH〗_((aq))+〖HCl〗_((aq))→〖NaCl〗_((aq))+H_2 O_((l)) In aqueous solutions the substances that are involved will experience dissociation, which changes the ionization state of the substances (Neutralization, 2018). When an acid is dissolved in water the covalent bond between the electronegative atom
The mixture were stirred by using a glass rod until the mixture is fully dissolved. The solution were tested by using calibrated pH meter to get the pH value of the solution.

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.
