ACID‐BASE TITRATION

AIM: Determine the concentration and strength of a sodium hydroxide solution using
hydrochloric acid solution.

Materials:
• 50‐mL Buret with clamp
• Phenolphthalein indicator
• 125 mL or 250‐mL conical flasks
• 250‐mL beaker
• 10‐mL volumetric pipette
• Pipette bulb
THEORY:

Titration is a process of quantitative chemical analysis used to determine the unknown


concentration of an identified analyte. Since volume measurements play a key role in titration, it
is also known as volumetric analysis.

Titration is a technique that chemists use to determine the unknown


concentration of a known solution (we know what chemical is dissolved, but not how much
in a solution). Because we know what the chemical is, we know how it will react with other
chemicals and we can use that reaction to determine the concentration of the solution by
measuring the formation of product(s). In the case of an unknown concentration of BASE,
we can use a known concentration of ACIDS and vice‐versa. This type of reaction is a
neutralization reaction, where salt and water are products of the reaction:

ACID + BASE SALT + WATER


We can use a pH indicator, a chemical that changes color depending on the pH, to show
us when the reaction has completely neutralized. This point, where all acid was consumed
and there is no excess of base, is called the equivalence point. We can use this equivalence
point to determine the initial concentration of acid using a series of calculations. The goal of
the titration is to get as close as possible to the equivalence point by careful addition of the
base; this will ensure the calculated acid concentration is as close to the true value as
possible. You will do three titrations and average the trials.

PROCEDURE:

• Fill sodium hydroxide solution into the burette through a funnel above the zero mark.
• Remove the air gap, if any, from the nozzle of the burette by running the solution forcefully from
the burette nozzle.
• Note the initial reading by keeping the eye exactly at the same level as the meniscus of the
solution.
• Pipette out 10 mL of Hydrochloric acid (CONC. 0.5M) solution in a washed and dried conical flask.
• Add 1‐2 drops of phenolphthalein indicator to the conical flask.
• Titrate the acid with sodium hydroxide solution till a very faint permanent pink colour is
obtained. Add sodium hydroxide solution in small amounts initially and then dropwise.
• Read the lower meniscus of the solution in the burette again and record it as final reading.

2 12.1 24.2 12.1 12.1
3 24.2 36.3 12.1

CALCULATION:

Vol Of HCl required to prepare 250ml of 0.5M HCl=?


Concentration of 36% (m/m) HCl=11.6M
M1V1 = M2V2 (HCl)
11.6×V1=0.5×250
V1=10.8ml

NaOH
M1= unknown
V1= 12.1ml
n1=basicity=1

HCl
M2=0.5
V2= 10ml
N2=acidity=1

According to the formula,


N1V1(NaOH) = N2V2(HCl)

n1M1V1(NaOH) = n2M2V2(HCl)

=>M1×12.1=10×0.5
=>M1=0.41M

Strength=0.41×40
=16.4g/ml

RESULT
Molarity=0.41M
Strength=16.4g/ml
