The document details a volumetric analysis experiment to determine the concentration of sodium hydroxide through titration against a 0.1M sulfuric acid solution. The experiment involves titrating sodium hydroxide solution of unknown concentration with sulfuric acid until the endpoint is reached, indicated by a color change. This allows for calculation of the molar concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution based on the moles of acid and volume titrated.

NAME: Aswani Forrest

VOLUMETRIC ANALYSIS
AIM: To determine the concentration of sodium hydroxide by titration
MATERIALS AND APPARATUS: Pipette, burette, clamp stand, Sulphuric acid (0.1M),
Sodium hydroxide, white tile, funnel, beakers, distilled water, wash bottles, white paper
METHOD:
1. Place 0.1M H2SO4 into a burette ensuring that the tip/jet is also filled. Record the initial
volume.
2. Fill the pipette to the graduated mark with NaOH solution and transfer to a 250cm3
conical flask.
3. Add two (2) drops screened methyl orange.
4. Titrate the acid solution against the alkali solution until one (1) drop causes a colour
change.
5. Record the volume of H2SO4 in the burette and use this to determine the volume added.
6. Repeat the titration until two readings are within at least 0.1cm3 of each other.
7. Record results in table form.

OBSERVATIONS:
1. The initial volume of H2SO4 in the burette was recorded.
2. The NaOH solution was transferred to a conical flask using a pipette.
3. Two drops of screened methyl orange were added to the flask. The solution turned
yellow.
4. The titration was started. The solution in the flask was swirled continuously.
5. The color of the solution changed from yellow to orange and finally to pink upon the
addition of one drop of H2SO4. This indicated the end point of the titration.
6. The final volume of H2SO4 in the burette was recorded. The volume of H2SO4 added
was calculated.
7. Steps 1-6 were repeated until two consecutive readings were within 0.1cm3 of each other.

RESULTS:

Rough 1 2
Final Burette Reading/cm3 30 24.50 29.30
Initial Burette Reading/cm3 5.00 0.00 4.90
Volume of H2SO4 added/cm3 25.00 24.50 24.40
CALCULATIONS:

1. Calculate the average volume of H2SO4?


(24.50 cm3 + 24.40 cm3) / 2 = 24.45 cm3

2. What is the concentration of H2SO4 provided?


0.1 moldm3

3. What is the volume of the pipette used in the experiment?


25 cm3

4. Write a balanced equation for the reaction between H2SO4 and NaOH.
2NaOH (aq) + H2SO4 (aq) → Na2SO4 (aq) + 2H2O (l)

5. Determine the mole ratio from the equation.


1:2

6. Determine the number of moles of H2SO4 used.


0.002445 mol

7. Determine the number of moles in pipetted volume of NaOH.


0.00489 mol NaOH

8. Determine the molar concentration of the NaOH solution.


0.195 moldm3

CONCLUSION:
The experiment aimed to find the concentration of NaOH using titration. The concentration of
the NaOH solution was successfully determined to be 0.195M. Thus, the experiment achieved its
aim.
