Acid-Base Titration Lab

The document outlines a procedure for conducting an acid-base titration to determine the molar concentration of a hydrochloric acid solution using sodium hydroxide. It includes a list of materials, detailed steps for the titration process, and a data table for recording results across three trials. The goal is to accurately find the concentration of the unknown acid solution by reaching the equivalence point during the titration.

Introduction

An acid-base titration is a quantitative analysis of acids and bases; through this process, an acid
or base of known concentration neutralizes an acid or base of unknown concentration. The titration
progress can be monitored by visual indicators, pH electrodes, or both. The reaction’s equivalence point
is the point at which the titrant has exactly neutralized the acid or base in the unknown analyse; if you
know the volume and concentration of the titrant at the equivalence point, you can calculate the
concentration of a base or acid in the unknown solution.

Purpose
To determine the molar concentration of a hydrochloric acid solution by acid-base titration

Hypothesis

Materials
250 mL Erlenmeyer Flask 50 mL Burette 100mL Beaker

1.0 mol/L NaOH(aq) Ring Stand Burette Clamp

Phenolphthalein Indicator HCl(aq) ? mol/L 250 mL Beaker

Procedure
1. Prepare a data table as follows in which to record your experimental results

Trail 1 Trail 2 Trail 3


Volume of HCl(aq) 10.0 mL 10.0 mL 10.0 mL
Initial Volume of base burette 0 mL 12 mL 20 mL
Final volume of base burette 12.7 mL 24.6 mL 32.55 mL
Volume of NaOH(aq) added 12.7 mL 12.6 mL 12.55 mL
Concentration of NaOH(aq) 1.0 mol/L 1.0 mol/L 1.0 mol/L

2. Obtain about 75 mL of 1.0 mL NaOH(aq) in a clean, dry 100 mL beaker. Rinse the burette with
about 5-10 mL of the base and let the liquid drain through the burette tip into an empty 250 mL
beaker. Repeat the rinsing a second time using a new 5-10 mL sample of the base solution.
3. Fill the burette with the sodium hydroxide solution and adjust the level of the solution in the
burette to a convenient reading point (or to 0.00 mL). Record the initial volume of the base in
the burette. Be sure that your eye is at the same level as the bottom of the meniscus.
4. Using a calibrated pipette, place 10.0 mL of the un known hydrochloric acid solution into a clean
Erlenmeyer Flask and add two drops of phenolphthalein indicator.
5. Slowly add the base from the burette to the acid while continuously swirling the flask to ensure
thorough mixing of the two solutions. Initially, a pink colour appears at the point where the
sodium hydroxide solution comes into contact with the solution n the flask. As the endpoint is
approached, the colour disappears more slowly. Eventually, the sodium hydroxide should be
added drop by drop until one drop turns the entire solution of the flask pink. This pink colour
should remain for at least 30 seconds.
6. Repeat the titration twice using fresh 10.0 mL samples of HCl(aq) each time. Do not refill the
burette each time. Use the final volume of one titration as the initial volume for the next
titration.
