UNKNOWN ACID AND BASE TITRATION

Introduction
The pH, or the concentration of the hydrogen plus ion [H+], is one of the most critical parameters in predicting if a system will corrode, or determining why a system is corroding. PH is defined as the negative log base 10 of the hydrogen plus ion concentration in the units of moles per litre.

Procedure

pH MEASUREMENT OF UNKNOWN SOLUTIONS

Obtain the following apparatus from the equipment menu:

 100 mL beaker
 general purpose thermometer in oC
 pH meter

Obtain a sample unknown that you wish to determine the pH of, and place about 50 mL in the beaker.

3. Lower the electrode into the solution, and while gently stirring, determine the pH of the solution

ACIDITY MEASUREMENT WITH INDICATORS

Set up two 50 mL test tubes.
Label one as an Acid “A” and one as a Base “B”
Place 35 mL of the appropriate stock solution into each test tube
Add 5 drops of an indicator into each test tube.
Record the resultant color for the acid and base.
Repeat for the other 4 Acid - Base Indicators

PART 2 - ACID/BASE TITRATION

PROCEDURE

Step 1: Obtain acid, in a 100 ml Erlenmeyer flask add 35 ml of an Unknown HCl solution.

Step 2: Add an indicator to the acid, select the flask and add 2 drops of phenolphthalein indicator. The indicator menu is available under the chemicals main menu (ChemicalsIndicators) or the context menu.

Step 3: Fill buret with NaOH, obtain a 50 ml buret and fill with .100M NaOH solution.

Step 4: Titrate NaOH into HCl until end point, record initial buret volume and add NaOH (quickly at first then slowly) until the HCl solution turns pink and record the final buret volume of NaOH in buret.

Step 5 repeat steps 1-4 using pH meter, add a pH meter to the acid solution. Record numerous points of pH and NaOH added (especially near equivalence point) to be used later to prepare a titration curve.

    When testing the acid, use only between 0.2 g and 0.3 g for each trial (get as precise a measurement as you can). The general procedure is to weigh out your acid, dissolve it in water, add a couple drops of the indicator (phenolphthalein), and then add the sodium hydroxide until you note a color change (from clear to pink). When the color change occurs, you have added enough base to completely react with the acid (the endpoint). You are allowed three trials, and will be graded on accuracy.…

    You need to calculate the volume of 3 M NaOH needed to make 500 mL of a 0.1 M solution. Mix the solution in a 500 mL flask and place the stopper on it for time being. Take two 250 mL flasks and label each one as “Sample 1” and “Sample 2.” Then take a plastic weigh boat, place it on a scare and tare (zero) it. Carefully add 0.4 to 0.5 grams of potassium acid phthalate to the weigh boat and record the final mass to 4 decimal places. Place this into the flask labeled “Sample 1.” Repeat the same thing for the other flask, “Sample 2.” Be sure to keep track of which flask has which mass of KHP. Rinse and clean the buret with 3-4 mL of the NaOH solution. Then fill the buret up to the zero level mark. With a waste beaker underneath, open the stopcock completely to fill the buret tip and remove air bubbles. Adjust the liquid level in the buret so that it’s between 0.00-2.00 mL. Record this initial reading in your notebook. Estimate all buret readings to 2 decimal places. Add about 50 mL of distilled water to the flask labeled “Sample 1” and gently swirl until the KHP has completely dissolved. Then add 3 or 4 drops of…

Then prepare 30 milliliter unknown-molarity solution (nitric acid in the first group and hydrochloric acid in the second group) in the buret. Check the pH value of the solution by pH-meter in the beaker. Put the beaker under the buret and drop the solution in buret milliliter by milliliter and keep tracking the pH change by pH-meter, until pass through the equivalence point. Record all the data.…

    Titration is a convenient quantitative method for accurately determining unknown concentrations of solutions. A necessary requirement for its use is that a standard solution (a solution of known concentration) reacts chemically with the solution whose concentration is being determined. The standard solution is added to a solution of unknown concentration until all of the unknown solution has reacted. From the known quantity and molarity (or normality) of the standard solution and the measured volume of unknown solution used, the unknown concentration can be calculated. For example, standard base solution (NaOH) is added from a burette to an accurately known volume of the acid solution (HCl).…
