Titration report
Aim:
The aim of the experiment was to see how much acid it took to neutralise the solution and make it turn clear from being pink. We used a titration as it allowed us to see exactly how much acid was needed to turn the solution clear. We did it four times so that we could have a preliminary run so we knew where abuts it was going to change so that our results were more accurate and reliable.
Vocational context:
Titrations would be used in many different types of industries for example they could be used to see the concentration of an unknown solution that a company needs to find out before they can sell that product or a products which contain it. titrations are used in many industries such as dairy farms, mining corporations, wineries and many more.
Equipment list: Equipment why I used it
Conical flask To hold the solution and mix the indicator and NAOH
Burette
To let me pour the HCL into the conical flask at a continuous rate
Boss clamp To hold the burette
Pipette sucker To pull up the chemicals
Beakers To hold the chemicals into so they won’t spill
Pipette To accurately measure out the 25 cm3
Measuring cylinder To accurately measure out the chemicals
50 cm3 of HCL To use in the experiment to see the concentrations
50 cm3 of NAOH To use in the experiment to see the concentrations
Distilled water To clean out the beakers and conical flasks
Funnel To help pour the chemicals into the burette calmly
Glass rod To stir the solutions phenolphthalein To use as an indicator
Risk assessment
Hazard Risk Management Very likely likely possible remote
HCL Irritant and can damage eyes Be cautious and wear safety glasses X
NAOH Irritant and can cause damage to eyes Be cautious and wear safety glasses X
Phenolphthalein Irritant and can cause damage to eyes Be cautious and wear safety glasses X
Glass wear Smash +cut yourself Be cautious X
