ABSTRACT:

This experiment introduces us the pH measurement and application of macroscale titration of aqueous solutions of acids and bases. The first part of the experiment was applying macroscale titration to calculate the mass of an HCl solution consumed that was initially done by pounding the tablets and getting a weight of 0.15 grams. The powdered form antacid was mixed with 100mL of 0.1M HCl in the erlenmeyer flask. It was stirred and heated until it boiled then was filtered. Two drops of phenolphthalein was added to the filtered solution. It was titrated with 0.1M NaOH until its color turned pink. The procedure was repeated for the second trial.
The second part of the experiment was acquiring the pH of solutions using calorimetric measuring tools. First is by using pH paper. The pH paper was dipped into the ten drops of 0.1M HCl then read the pH using the chart. The procedure was repeated using 0.1M NaOH, 0.1M CH3COOH, and 0.1M NH4OH. Next, the pH of 30mL of 0.1M HCl, 0.1M NaOH, 0.1M CH3COOH, and 0.1M NH4OH(placed separately into four beakers) was measured using pH meter. And lastly, the pH of the solutions was calculated using the obtained values from the procedures.
In the third part, the percent of acetic acid in vinegar was determined. The buret was rinsed with 0.2M NaOH and was later on filled with the same solution up to its mark of 0.0 ml. 5ml of commercial vinegar, 45ml distilled water and two drops of phenolphthalein was placed in the Erlenmeyer flask. The vinegar was titrated with 0.2 NaOH until its color turned to light pink and then the volume of

    2. A solution of household vinegar (a mixture of acetic acid and water) is to be analyzed. A pipet is used to measure out 10.0 mL of the vinegar, which is placed in a 250-mL volumetric flask. Distilled water is added until the total volume of solution is 250 mL. A 25.0-mL portion of the diluted solution is measured out with a pipet and titrated with a standard solution of sodium hydroxide.…

    In this experiment the student will need a Bunsen burner, ring stand, wire gauze, pH meter, red cabbage, about seven small beakers (clean), seven test tubes, universal pH paper, both red and blue litmus paper, methyl red and several solutions provided by the instructor. First the student will prepare the red cabbage by filling a beaker with 50 mL of distilled water and placing about 1 gram of finely chopped red cabbage and boil for 10 minuets. Let the beaker cool and decant the solution from the cabbage. While the cabbage is boiling the student should continue with the rest of the experiment, pour about 2 mL into the beaker and test the pH with the pH meter, litmus papers, and universal pH paper and record. Pour half of the solution into a test tube and set aside. With the sample in the beaker add 2 drops of methyl red and record. With the solution in the test tube add a dropper full of the cabbage indicator and record. The student must do these steps with all of the solution provided for in this experiment.…

    In this experiment we experimented with titration. We saw the effects of titration on an acid and then on a base. The acid we used was hydro chloric acid and the base was ammonia. The acid turned pinkish red when properly titrated and the base turned clear. We used phenolphthalein as the titrate which turns red in acidic solutions and clear in basic solutions. The control aspects of this lab were the hydrochloric acid and ammonia. The independent variable was the titrate the phenolphthalein. We measured how many drops of the phenolphthalein it took to titrate the acid or the base.…

    To further test our prediction, we looked at the pH effects of sodium chloride in relations to the addition of 0.5 M of NaOH base. Before adding the base, the pH of NaCl was checked to look at the whether or not the pH would change after the addition of a NaOH. The pH of NaCl prior to adding base was 7.50. After the 5 drops of 0.5 NaOH, the pH increased to 10.90 on the pH scale. The difference in total pH change from the…

    III.Background Information: Volumetric analysis is the use of volume measurements to analyze an unknown; a method of this is titration. Titration is most often used to analyze the amount of acid or base in a sample or solution in acid-base chemistry. In a titration experiment, a known volume of an acid solution would be “titrated” by slowly adding dropwise a standard solution, whose concentration is accurately known, of a strong base. The titrant reacts with and consumes the acid via a neutralization reaction. The point at which stoichiometric amounts of the acid and base have combined is the equivalence point. An example of this is shown in the equation: HCl(aq)+NaOH(aq)NaCl(aq)+H2O(l). The number of moles is given by knowing the exact concentration and volume added of the titrant. The latter, in turn, is related by stoichiometry to the number of moles of acid initially present in the unknown. To detect the equivalence point, indicators are usually added to acid-base titrations. The point at which the indicator changes color and signals the equivalence point has been reached is the endpoint of the titration. In the equation above the pH of the solution would be acidic before the equivalence point and basic after the equivalence point. The pH should be exactly 7 at the equivalence point, corresponding to the neutral products. If and indicator changes color around pH of 7 it is suitable for the titration of a strong acid with a…

    The aim of this experiment was to calculate the concentration of an unknown solution of Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) by titrating it with Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) and to identify any possible sources of error. A colour change from pink to yellow signified the end of each individual titre as the NaOH had been neutralised. Experimental: Method: Firstly two solutions were prepared to show the colour of the Phenol Red indicator in acid and alkaline conditions. These colours were then used to determine the end point of each titre.…

    Sulfamic acid is the fastest de-scaler - It dissociates into hydroxonium ions more readily in aqueous solution than the others, therefore giving a greater concentration of atoms that are able to react with the calcium in lime scale. It is safe to use because it does not produce chlorine gas [5], which can be toxic. Sulfamic acid also has a low volatility. Disadvantages:…
