Acid-Base Titration Lab

We know that that the end point of the titration is reached when, after drop after careful drop of NaOH, the solution in the flask retains its pale pink color while swirling for about 30

1. To titrate a hydrochloric acid solution of “unknown” concentration with standardized 0.5M sodium hydroxide.

pH was recorded every time 1.00 mL of NaOH was added to beaker. When the amount of NaOH added to the beaker was about 5.00 mL away from the expected end point, NaOH was added very slowly. Approximately 0.20 mL of NaOH was added until the pH made a jump. The pH was recorded until it reached ~12. This was repeated two more times. The pKa of each trial are determined using the graphs made on excel.

In 2 and 7 I added 50 mL of .1 M NaCl. I added sodium acetate to the rest of the beakers: 1 gram to 3 and 8, 5 grams to 4 and 9, and 10 grams to 5 and 10. I then filled the beakers that contained the solid sodium acetate with 50 ml of .10 M acetic acid. Specifics can be found on page 84 of the lab manual. Though the lab manual instructed to use a pipet, we did not have an accurate 1 mL pipet or a graduated pipet, so we instead prepared two graduated burets with 1 M Sodium Hydroxide and 1 M hydrochloric acid. Using a standardized pH probe with a Lab Pro to measure changes in pH, we added 1 mL of HCl at a time and recorded the changes. The same was done for the NaOH.

The problem that was trying to be solved in this study deals with analyzing unknown solutions. In this particular case, a chemical company has several unknown solutions and to correctly dispose of them they need to know their properties. To figure out the properties several qualitative tests were performed throughout the study (Cooper 2012).

Three grams of a mixture containing Benzoic Acid and Naphthalene was obtained and placed in 100 ml beaker and added 30 ml of ethyl acetate for dissolving the mixture. A small amount (1-2 drops) of this mixture was separated into a test tube. This test tube was covered and labelled as “M” (mixture). This was set to the side and used the following week for the second part of lab. The content in the beaker was then transferred into separatory funnel. 10 ml of 1 M NaOH added to the content and placed the stopper in the funnel. In the hood separatory funnel was gently shaken for approximately one minute and vent the air out for five seconds. We repeated the same process in the same manner one more time by adding 10ml of 1M NaOH.

7. Using the slider on the right hand side, add NaOH to the HCl in the Erlenmeyer flask (This action is known as titrate). Add the indicator until the color of the indicator turns a light shade of pink.

Amino acids are the basic building blocks of the body and sources of energy, like fats and carbohydrates. They are structurally characterized by the fact that they contain nitrogen (N), whereas fats and carbohydrates do not. Therefore, only amino acids are capable of forming tissues, organs, muscles, skin and hair. Chains of amino acid make proteins. Proteins are among the most abundant organic molecules in living systems and are way more diverse in structure and function than other

ii. The second part of the titration series involves titration of NaOH with Hydrochloric acid (HCL). Again, three reps of titration and a blank titration have to be completed. A volumetric pipet is used to measure 10.00mL of HCL into three labeled conical flasks. Then the flasks are filled with deionized water until about the 50mL mark. A buret is

Titration is a lab method that used to determine a quantitative analysis which used to know the concentration of a drug or compound, and this process happen by use a reagent which is known its concentration and its volume to calculate the another concentration or volume, this reagent called titrant and it may be acid or base. There are many types of titration to determine different orders of drugs and compounds like (acid base titration- Redox titration- Gas phase titration- Complexometric titration- Zeta potential titration). The most common method for quantitative analysis is acid- base titration and redox titration. 1- Acid base titration is the method which depends on the naturalization between acid and base in the flask then changes the color of ph. indicator (ph.ph or methyl orange) till reach the endpoint. 2- Redox titration is the method which relies on reduction-oxidation reaction between titrant and sample and we use a redox indicator toll reach the indicator. 3- Gas phase titration this method of quantitative analysis is occurs in gas phase. 4- Complexometric titration is depend on form a complex between titrant and sample in which we are used a complexometric indicator which this indicator form a weak complex with sample, then the titration happen till reach the endpoint. 5- Zeta potential titration we use this

During a titration the pH of the solution will be monitored using a pH meter from that we get a titration curve. The titration curve is then used to determine the equivalent molecular weight and Ka value of the unknown weak acid, from that we are

Using Graph 1: The Volume of Titrant Added in order to reach the Endpoint and the Corresponding pH Values, observe the vertical line of each titration and see the points in which the horizontal lines intersect it. These points give the

The best titration for this lab would be Trial 3. This trial had the smallest interval in adding NaOH and most accurately shows the pH before the evolution, how it slowly increases, spikes up and then levels off again. The first trial only shows the strong base part of the graph, and the second trial was better than the first, but the smaller interval on the third trial most accurately represents a titration curve for a strong acid and strong base.

First, three titration curves and three second derivative curves were created to determine the average pH at the half-equivalence point from the acetic acid titrations. Titration curves were used as visuals to portray buffer capacity. The graphs and a table, Table 1, that showcased the values collected were created and included below. The flat region, the middle part, of Figures 1, 2 and 3, showed the zone at which the addition of a base or acid did not cause changes in pH. Once surpassed, the pH increased rapidly when a small amount of base, NaOH, was added to the buffer solution. Using the figures below and

The purpose of this experiment was to determine how much KMnO4 was needed to titrate approximately 1 mL of an Unknow X101 concentrated solution of Oxalic Acid. A standardized KMnO4 solution was used on a known solution of Oxalic acid to help determine the unknown percent oxalic acid in unknown X101. The unknown sample for this experiment was sample x101 which theoretically was a % Oxalic Acid dehydrate sample but, the average of all three trials determined it to be a 6.7% percent Oxalic acid.
