Acid And Base Reaction Lab
INTRODUCTION
The lab introduced the relationship between reactants and products, and sought to discover which ratio of an acid and base reaction produced the most amount of carbon dioxide gas (CO2) without leaving leftover reactants. 5 varying amounts of bases were added to a constant amount of acid (10 ml) to better understand which ratio was the most efficient.
RESULTS
Data collected from the lab suggests that the ratio of acid to base that produced the most carbon dioxide gas (CO2) was 1:0.5. This means that for every one mole of acid, 0.5 moles of base would be added. The ratio produced 44.80 ml of CO2, which was one of the largest amounts observed. When an indicator was placed in the solution after it completed reacting, it was neutral,
