Preparation and Standardization of a Sodium Hydroxide Solution
Title: Preparation and Standardization of a Sodium Hydroxide Solution

Objective/Purpose: The objective of this experiment will be the standardization of sodium hydroxide using potassium hydrogen phthalate by the titration method.
Introduction:
The concentration of solutions can be reported in terms of molarity and normality. Molarity is equal to: HCL, HBR, H2SO4, HNO3 M = mol Solute (mol) (Monoprotic) (Diprotic) _______________ V(L)g solutions (L)

M = __N___ for Monoprotic acids molarity = normality molar mass V

One molar solution can be prepared by dissolving the mass of 1 mole of the particular substance in enough water to make a 1L solution.

Monoprotic:
HCL + NaOH  H2O + NaCl

Diprotic:
H2SO4 + NaOH  H2O + Na2SO4

N = __EW__ L EW= molar mass L = number of titratable protons

To perform an acid-base neutralization using the titration technique to determine the concentration (normality) of the NaOH prepared in part A.

C8H5O4K + NaOH H2O + KC8H4O4Na

KHP: KHC8H4O4

*Acid base indicator- substances that have different colors in acidic and basic environments

*Phenolphthalein- colorless in acid and pink in base. The end point of the titration is the first permanent color change.

Materials:
-Sodium hydroxide, Phenolphthalein solution, KHP, Pipette, 10 ml graduated cylinder, large beaker, medium beaker, 25mL volumetric flask, Distilled water, stopper, 10mL burette, ring stand, clamp, analytical balance scale, 25mL Erlenmeyer flask, weighing paper.
Method:
A pipette was used to place 10 drops of 6N NaOH solution into a 25mL volumetric flask. The NaOH was then diluted by adding carbon dioxide-free distilled water to the 25mL mark. A 10mL burette was then put clamped onto a ring stand in vertical position. The burette was then rinsed with 1mL portion of the NaOH solution that was prepared in step one. The burette was then filled with a pipette to the zero

    10 ml of acid was used for all the three trials to keep a constant. During the first trial it took 3.700 ml of NaOH to titrate the HCl, in the second trial it took 3.750 ml, and in the third trial it took 3.750 ml. These differences in amounts of NaOH required to titrate the acid led to different molarities being calculated for the NaOH. The first being 0.270M and the other to being 0.267M. In order to calculate the total volume of base used, the readings from the burette from before and after titration were subtracted from each other. The average of the three molarities was found to be 0.268M for NaOH (Figure 2).…

    The experiment began with the preparation and standardization of NaOH solution. It was calculated that 2.00 grams of NaOH pellets were needed to prepare 0.5 L of 0.1 M NaOH solution. The solution was then standardized by conducting three titration trials. It was calculated that 0.7148 grams of KHP were necessary to neutralize 35 mL of the 0.1 M NaOH. Three samples of KHP were weighed approximating this number (Table 1). Each sample was mixed with 40 mL of deionized water and 2 drops of phenolphthalein in 3 Erlenmeyer flasks. Each flask was then titrated with the NaOH to a light pink endpoint. The volumes of NaOH were recorded, averaged, and the standardized. The molarity of the NaOH was found to be 0.0981.…

    The purpose of this experiment is to prepare a standard solution of potassium hydrogen phthalate and use titration to perform an acid/base reaction between the potassium hydrogen phthalate and sodium hydroxide to standardize approximately 0.10 M sodium hydroxide solution. To prepare the Potassium Hydrogen phthalate, a 2.00 grams of KHP was measured to an accurate measurement of 1.980 grams. A total of 100 mL of water was mixed with the KHP solution in the volumetric flask to finally prepare an acidic KHP solution. The molar mass of KHP was calculated and came to be 208.252 grams per mole. To find the moles of KHP, the mass of KHP (1.980 g) was divided by the molar mass of KHP ( 208.252 g) and .00951 moles are in the 1.980 grams of KHP. To find the molarity, the number of moles of KHP (.00951 moles) was divided by the volume of water in liters (.100 L) giving an answer of 0.0951 M.…

    Week One: the experiment started off by preparing 250mL of NaOH solution. About 0.5 grams of NaOH were measured and then inserted into a 250mL volumetric flask. Once the NaOH was in the flask, it was then filled up to the 250mL line using deionized water. After the water was put in the flask, the solution was then mixed well until the NaOH dissolved well in the water. The second solution that was prepared was KHP. This was done by measuring 1 gram of KHP. After that was completed, the KHP was put in a beaker and filled up using 50mL of demonized water and mixed well until the KHP dissolved well in the water. Three drops of the indicator phenolphthalein were put in the KHP solution.…
