Procedure:
1)
2) Goggles were put on.
3) 0.1 M NaOH solution was made using 0.4 g NaOH and 100 mL distilled water. The ingredients were added together in a beaker and stirred.
4) The buret was standardized by adding 10 mL of distilled water, rolling the buret, and then pouring it out two times. 5 mL of distilled water was then added to buret, rolled, and then poured out. Then, 5 more mL of distilled water were poured in the buret and released through the bottom. This process was then

The completion of a reaction can be seen by a change in color or when the pH remains constant. The equivalence point during titration is when both solutions are present in equal amounts. The end point of the titration is when the reaction has been completed, which is usually marked by a change in color. One researchable question relating to acid/base titration would be what strengths of acids and bases react with each other during titrations, and what kind of solution would the two then form. Strong acids and strong bases can react, and they form a neutral solution. Strong acids and weak bases can react, and they form an acidic solution. Strong bases can also react with weak acids to form a basic solution.
Errors
Improvements
Adding NaOH too quickly.
Add the NaOH one drop at a time until the proper level has been reached.
The data was not properly recorded.
Keep track of each pH increase for each experiment as opposed to just initial and spikes.
Buret may have been contaminated since multiple classes used the same buret without cleaning

    A reaction between solutions of acids and alkalis that give neutral pH products are known as neutralising reactions. In this experiment I know the concentration of the alkali (sodium carbonate) and I shall use this knowledge to find out the roughly known concentration of the acid (sulphuric acid). [4] When an indicator is mixed with the acid the solution will turn to a colour. When enough sodium carbonate is added to the coloured solution it will turn to another colour. This is called the end point and it means the solution is neutral. In a titration this process is used to find out the concentration of a solution by mixing it with a solution with known concentration.…

    Acid – base titration is typical method of determining unknown figures. Acid – base titration means that by using neutralization between acid and base. Abrupt changing of pH says whether procedure is done or not. pH indicators are tools for determining neutralization is reaching end point. When reaction reaches equivalent point, one of species, titrant or analyte is used up completely and there is no more neutralization. But By pH indicator, there is very few possibility to distinguish equivalent point. When, neutralization reaches at that point, changing pH is too sensitive to distinguish that. Blank titration is one of way to decrease interval between equivalent and end point. Blank titration is executed in solution with no analyte, it involves same volume of diluted water with final volume of mixture of actual titration, pH indicator and titrant. From this titrant, interval is obvious. Before doing titration, standardization of titrant is first step. If concentration of titrant is not exact, final result is not exact. And then, doing titration by standardized titrant is going to be second.…

    III.Background Information: Volumetric analysis is the use of volume measurements to analyze an unknown; a method of this is titration. Titration is most often used to analyze the amount of acid or base in a sample or solution in acid-base chemistry. In a titration experiment, a known volume of an acid solution would be “titrated” by slowly adding dropwise a standard solution, whose concentration is accurately known, of a strong base. The titrant reacts with and consumes the acid via a neutralization reaction. The point at which stoichiometric amounts of the acid and base have combined is the equivalence point. An example of this is shown in the equation: HCl(aq)+NaOH(aq)NaCl(aq)+H2O(l). The number of moles is given by knowing the exact concentration and volume added of the titrant. The latter, in turn, is related by stoichiometry to the number of moles of acid initially present in the unknown. To detect the equivalence point, indicators are usually added to acid-base titrations. The point at which the indicator changes color and signals the equivalence point has been reached is the endpoint of the titration. In the equation above the pH of the solution would be acidic before the equivalence point and basic after the equivalence point. The pH should be exactly 7 at the equivalence point, corresponding to the neutral products. If and indicator changes color around pH of 7 it is suitable for the titration of a strong acid with a…

    The concentration of one solution was determined by its reaction with a standard solution. The molar mass of unknown acids were also calculated. While learning to titrate, I learned several other skills in the process. I learned how to prepare a standard solution of sodium hydroxide, how to standardize a sodium hydroxide solution by using potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP), how to find the molar masses of unknown organic acids when given whether the acid is monoprotic, diprotic, or triprotic, and how to calculate the molarity of a soft drink. At the same time, other skills were practiced. Skills such as calculating molarity, molar mass and percent error were exercised.…

    Titrating allows for the concentration or molarity of an unknown acid or base to be found. This can be done by titrating the acid solution against a base solution of which the molarity is known. The resulting reactants of an acid reacting with a base are water and a salt. This type of reaction is known as a neutralization reaction because the products of which are assumed to be neutral. Careful titration of an acid against a base until neutralization is reached allows for the assumption that moles of H+ = moles of OH-. The following relationship allows for the unknown molarity to be…
