Lab Name:Titration of NaOH

Lab Partner: Jason Lee & Fiona Wang
Date: March 10th & 17th
Introduction：
The purpose of this lab is to observe the titration between acid and base, and calculate the morality of unknown solution base on the volume required to reach equivalence point and stoicheiometry. There are two groups of experiments. The first one is the reaction between nitric acid and sodium hydroxide which is a reaction between strong acid and strong base, so, theoretically, the pH value of the the mixture of these two solution at the equivalence point in the titration process should be seven, which means neutral. The second groups is the titration between ammonia and hydrochloric acid. The pH at the equivalence point should be below seven to indicate that the mixture at that point is acid, since hydrochloric acid is a strong acid and ammonia is weak base. After find out the pH of the equivalence point, find out the corresponding volume of the two solutions and calculate the unknown molarity depends on stoicheiometry and the known molarity.
In the lab, first step is to prepare 10 milliliter known-molarity solution in the beaker, sodium hydroxide in the first group and ammonia in the second group. 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.
