Titration Of An Unknown Solution

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

Titration is the slow addition of one solution of a known concentration (called a titrant) to a known volume of another solution of unknown concentration until the reaction reaches neutralisation, which is often indicated by a colour change. The solution called the titrant must satisfy the necessary requirements to be a primary or secondary standard. In a broad sense, titration is a technique to determine the concentration of an unknown solution. We can use the reaction to find out the molarity of the solution by measuring the product(s) that is formed.

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.

Question: The equivalence points of the two titration curves were not in the same pH range. Explain. (Why was the pH at the equivalence point different for the two different acids?)

By first measuring the pH levels of solution A through E with a pH meter, it gives a numeric reading to ph balance to a solution. Next, add in a natural indicator called anthocyanin made from the pigment from a red cabbage into each solution and mixed it until there is a distinct color and recorded on the chart. Finally, by looking at the result of the pH reading level that

This is the point of stoichiometric equivalence, meaning the number of mols of both substances are equal. The mols used in the known solution can be found by multiplying the molarity by the volume used in titration. The molarity of the unknown solution can be found by dividing the number of mols, which is equal to the number of mols titrated in the known solution, by the volume in liters of the unknown solution. Titrating in this lab works because the one H+ ion in the KHP and HCl consumes and neutralizes the one OH¬- ion found in the NaOH. Standardization involves titrating the same solution multiple times to obtain an average molarity of the solution from the many

In order for the media to show the change in acidity the solutions are modified and include an indicator chemical. This indicator will change color depending on the ph level of the media it is in. For all the media used in this experiment, the indicator changes to a yellow color when in the presence of an acid and turns magenta/pink when in the presence of a base or alkali.

In Experiment 1, we used a trip balance and a weighing paper to weigh 15 g of NaCl. 50 mL of H2O was then poured into two 100 mL graduated cylinders. After doing that, a stirring bar was added to one of the 50 mL graduated cylinder of H2O. We then placed the graduated cylinder with the stirring bar onto the stirrer and started the stirrer. As the stirrer kept turning, NaCl was gradually added into the solution until all of the NaCl dissolved. After that, H2O from the 50 mL graduated cylinder was added to the NaCl solution until it reached the 100 mL mark. From this, you can get the concentration of the NaCl solution using the

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

First prepare your titrant 100ml 1.0M solution of NaOH by using the top-pan balance and spatula to accurately weigh out 4g of NaOH crystals into the weighing boat. Then place the 4g of NaOH into the 250ml conical flask, add 100ml of deionised water and stir thoroughly using the magnetic stirrer.

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

Take a test tube and place it in the test-tube rack. Use a medicine dropper to add 5 drops of water to the test tube. Then add 2 drops of indicator solution to the water.

For this experiment, titrations on a weak acid, acetic acid, and a buffer were performed. Acetic acid was titrated with NaOH in order to observe the half-equivalence point as well as the equivalence point. Then, the buffer and the buffered acetic acid solution prepared faced additional titration with NaOH and HCl to evaluate the differing buffering effects following the addition of a strong acid and strong base. Finally, the buffer’s buffering capacity was calculated. If the experiment were to be repeated, it would be interesting to observe the buffering effects following a titration between a weak base and a buffer instead with greater concentrations. The change in the concentration following the preparation of buffer with a weak base and its conjugate acid would pose for an interesting experiment to observe an increase in the buffering capacity.

The method of titration was discovered in late 1800’s by a french pioneer name Francois Antoine Henri Descroizilles. Titration is a process used to find concentration of an unknown compound. This process is used in labs to find information need in everyday life.For instance, titration is used during blood test and urine test to determine the concentration

An acid-base titration is the determination of the concentration of an acid or base by exactly neutralizing the acid/base with an acid or base of known concentration. This allows for quantitative analysis of the concentration of an unknown acid
