1. Standarization of NaOH with Potassium Hydrogenphthalate (KHC8H404)

The hygroscopic nature of NaOH requires its solution to be standardized with a stable primary standard such as potassium hydrogen phthalate. The exact molar concentration of NaOH solution can then be accurately determined.

1.1) Prepare the stock NaOH solution by dissolving about 4 g of NaOH pellet in 100 mL of deionized water. Note that NaOH is a hazardous chemical which is corrosive to skin and irritant to eye, be cautious and wear proper personal protection equipment (PPE) to avoid skin or eye contact.

1.2) Prepare the diluted NaOH solution by adding 25 mL of the stock NaOH solution prepared in part 1.1 to a 500 mL bottle and top it up to 250 mL with boiled deionized water. Cap the bottle to prevent the absorption of CO2. Calculate the approximate molar concentration of this diluted NaOH solution.

Record the mass accurately.

1.4) Measure and dissolve about 4 g dried KHC8H404 in 250 mL of deionized water and. Calculate the molar concentration of the KHC8H404 solution.

1.5) Pipette 25 mL of KHC8H404 into a clean and dry conical flask and add 2 drops of phenolphthalein.

1.6) Clean a 50 mL burette and a funnel thoroughly with detergent and water using a long burette brush. Flush the buret with tap water and rinse at least 3 times with deionized water. Rinse the burette with the diluted NaOH solution 3 times, making sure the NaOH wets the entire inner surface and drain the waste through the tip.

1.7) Fill the clean burette with the diluted NaOH solution and read the volume by viewing the bottom of the meniscus after 10 seconds. Record this initial

    This would give inaccurate results due to misreading the burette. If you estimate the readings on the burette, your results will not be precise and the titres many not be similar. Not viewing the meniscus at eye level would affect the titres because cause the titre values to vary due to guessing what the reading is on the meniscus. Poor lighting could occur which would make it difficult to look for subtle colour change, making the experimenter adding too much sodium hydroxide into the food acid solution because they didn’t see the first permanent colour change. Expelling the sodium hydroxide from the burette into the conical flask of food acid too fast, which would affect the titre, due to adding too much or not enough sodium hydroxide into the food acid. Misjudging the end point, which would affect the titre because more or less solution may have entered then the previous time, causing the titres results to vary. Adding too much or too little indicator, can affect your results due to the end point of the experiment occurring faster or slower than the previous…

    Besides, the conical flask should be stirred all along the titration to ensure the two solutions can be mixed evenly. Furthermore, repeat the experiment for getting the average readings to ensure the accuracy of the experiment. Lastly, keep the eyes in level with the liquid surface while reading the burette to prevent parallax…

    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.…

    First, to create 0.5L of 0.2M solution of NaOH, standard 3M NaOH solution was obtained. Next, calculations were performed to determine the amount 3M NaOH necessary to create 0.5L of the 0.2M solution and, as a result, 33.333ml of the 3M solution was measured and poured into a 600ml beaker. The 33.333ml of 3M solution was then diluted with deionized H2O to a volume of 0.5L, thus theoretically resulting in 0.5L of 0.2M NaOH. Next this solution was used…
