titration
Safety: Ensure tip of burette is not chipped or broken and that valve turns easily and smoothly. Wear safety goggles, apron and gloves. Keep phenolphthalein solution away from flames as it is flammable. Handle acids and bases carefully as they are corrosive. Rinse skin with lots of cool water if splashed with chemical and report any spills to the teacher immediately.

ACID BASE TITRATION

Purpose: To determine the concentration of solution of sodium hydroxide by acid-base titration and analyse the shape of a titration curve.

. Pre-Lab: / 11 I /8 K/U / 5 C

1) What colour is the indicator phenolphthalein in an acidic solution and in a basic solution? (2 K/U)
Phenolphthalein is colourless in acidic solutions and pinkish in basic solutions. 2) Why does the clear colour, which forms at the point where the hydrochloric acid comes into contact with the solution containing phenolphthalein and base in the receiving flask, disappear more slowly near the endpoint? (2I)

At the start of the titration, the NaOH solution in the flask will be pinkish and the pH is quite high. As HCl drops are added, the indicator colour will change momentarily to colourless as the pH is lower in the area around the drop(s). As the endpoint nears, the clear colour disappears more slowly as the solution has a lower pH than when the titration started.

3) What ions are taking part in the neutralization reaction? (2 I)

The ions taking part in the neutralization reaction are OH_ and H+. All ions are aqueous. Na+ and Cl_ are spectator ions and are not involved in the reaction.

4) In terms of the ions present, what has happened at the endpoint of the titration? (1 I

Bases dissociate to produce OH_ and acids ionize to produce H+ which creates water H2O.

5) Why is it a good idea to carry out titrations

    The pH indicator, phenolphthalein, turned a light shade of pink when it was in a solution with a pH of 7. Neutralization reactions occur when an acid is mixed with a base. The product of this reaction is a salt and water. These reactions are double displacement reactions, because the cation of the base mixes with the anion from the acid, forming a base, and the hydrogen from the acid mixes with the anion from the base, forming water. In this reaction, the sodium ion from the sodium hydroxide attracts to the acetate ion from the acetic acid, and the extra hydride ion bonds with the negative hydroxide ion to form water. The water produced by the reaction had a pH of seven, and so when the whole solution was light pink, we knew the reaction had fully…

    In this experiment, you will use agar cubes to which the indicator phenolphthalein has been added. Phenolphthalein is an acid/base indicator that turns pink in the presence of a base such as NaOH. Thus the surface of the agar cubes will turn pink immediately when put into a NaOH solution. The NaOH will continue to diffuse through the cube and gradually turn the inside of the cube pink. The guiding question for this lab is thus:…
