ACID – BASE TITRATION

INTRODUCTION
Titration is a technique for determining the UNKNOWN concentration (molarity) of a substance by
reacting it with another substance of KNOWN concentration (the titrant). The titrant is placed in the
buret, and the solution of unknown concentration is placed in an Erlenmeyer flask. An indicator that
changes color in the appropriate range must be added to the Erlenmeyer flask to show when the
titration is complete.

Since acids and bases neutralize each other according to specific molar ratios, this reaction can be
used to determine the concentration of an unknown acid or base. In this activity, you will determine
the concentration of a hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution by reacting it with a 0.10 M NaOH titrant. You
will use phenolphthalein to indicate the endpoint of the titration because it turns from clear to pink at
a pH of 8-9. You will try to get a very pale pink color – if your solution turns dark pink or magenta,
you have over-titrated and added too much base.

OBJECTIVE
1. Perform and acid-base titration to determine the concentration of an unknown acid.

MATERIALS
buret ring stand buret clamp 10 mL graduated cylinder
Erlenmeyer flask waste beaker 0.10 M NaOH phenolphthalein
UNKNOWN ACID

PROCEDURE
1. Put on your safety goggles.
2. Preparation of the buret has been done for you.
3. Fill the buret with the base if the buret contains less than 20 ml of base.
4. Check for air bubbles. If there are air bubbles, place the waste beaker under the buret and open the
stopcock. Then tap the buret tip lightly (don’t break it) to get rid of any air bubbles.
5. RECORD the initial volume (the bottom of the meniscus). (This does not have to be zero).
6. Add between 5 – 10 mL of ? M HCl to a graduated cylinder and RECORD the exact volume to the
nearest 0.01 mL.
7. Pour the HCl into an Erlenmeyer flask and add 1 drop of phenolphthalein.
8. Use the buret to add base SLOWLY to the flask until the indicator just turns A LIGHT PINK COLOR AND
THE COLOR REMAINS. This is the end-point or the neutralization point. RECORD the final volume of
the buret.
9. Dump the contents of the Erlenmeyer into the WASTE BEAKER. Rinse out Erlenmeyer with distilled
water, and dump water in sink. It is not necessary to dry the flask.
10. Repeat steps 5-9 two more times, for a total of three trials. It is not necessary to fill the buret each
time, but BEFORE BEGINNING ANY TRIAL, make sure you have enough to complete the titration
without running out.
11. Calculate the molarity of the acid for each trial.
