Experiment 1 Week 2

This document provides instructions for students to perform an acid-base titration experiment. It describes titrating a sodium hydroxide solution of unknown concentration against a standard oxalic acid solution. The document gives the aim, required apparatus and materials, chemical equation, procedure, observations, calculations, and precautions to determine the concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution. It also includes a link to a video demonstrating the titration process.

Experiment No 1

Aim: To find the strength in grams per liter of an unknown solution


of sodium hydroxide using a standard (N/10) Oxalic acid Solution.

Apparatus and materials required: Burette, pipette, titration flask, iron stand
with clamp, two beakers, glass funnel, burette brush, glazed tile, anti parallax card.
Sodium hydroxide, N/10 oxalic acid solution, phenolphthalein indicator and water.

Observations
Solution in the burette — Standard oxalic acid solution
Solution in the pipette — Sodium hydroxide solution
Indicator — Phenolphthalein
End Point — Pink to colourless
Volume of Sodium hydroxide solution taken for each titration with pipette = 10 m L

Calculations
Applying Normality equation
N1V1 (Sod. hydroxide) = N2V2 (Oxalic acid)
N1 = Normality of Sodium Hydroxide solution = ?
V1 = Volume of Sodium Hydroxide solution = 10 m L
N2 = Normality of Oxalic acid solution = N/10
V2 = Volume of Oxalic acid solution = x m L

N1 = N2V2 / V1
N1 = 0.1 × x / 10 = 0.01 x N

Strength = Normality × Equivalent weight


Equivalent weight of sodium hydroxide = 40
Strength = 0.01 x × 40 = y g L-1
Result: Strength of the given solution of Sodium hydroxide = y g L-1

Experiment No 1

Aim: To find the strength in grams per liter of an unknown solution


of sodium hydroxide using a standard (N/10) Oxalic acid Solution.

Apparatus and materials required: Burette, pipette, titration flask,


clamp stand , two beakers, glass funnel, burette brush, glazed tile, anti parallax card.
Sodium hydroxide, N/10 oxalic acid solution, phenolphthalein indicator and water.
Theory: Oxalic acid, a weak acid is titrated against sodium hydroxide, a strong base,
using phenolphthalein as indicator. It is an acid-base or neutralization type of
titration. The acid and the base react as follows:

Procedure
1. Wash the whole glass apparatus thoroughly with water.
2. Rinse burette with oxalic acid solution & pipette with sodium hydroxide
solution.
3. Fill the burette with oxalic acid solution and note the initial reading of the lower
meniscus.
4. Pipette out 10 ml of sodium hydroxide solution and transfer it to the titration
flask.
5. Add one drop of phenolphthalein indicator to sodium hydroxide solution taken
in the titration flask. The solution turns pink in colour.
6. Place the titration flask below the nozzle of the burette and acid oxalic acid
solution drop wise. Swirl the solution in the titration flask after each addition.
7. Continue to add oxalic acid solution drop wise, till the colour of the solution in
the titration flask changes to colourless.
8. Note the final reading of the burette.
9. Check the accuracy of the reading by adding one drop of Sodium hydroxide with
a pipette. The solution turns pink. This is called back titration.
10. Repeat the experiment to get three concordant readings.

Precautions
1. Wash the whole apparatus thoroughly with water.
2. Rinse the burette with oxalic acid solution and pipette with sodium hydroxide
solution.
3. Clamp the burette vertically straight.
4. Make use of anti parallax card while noting the reading.
5. Do not hold the pipette from the bulb.
6. Do not blow the last drop from the pipette.
7. There should be no air bubble or any air gap in the burette.
8. The titration flask should be swirled after each addition.
9. Add same number of drops of indicator for each titration.
10. Do not rinse the titration flask with any solution. Wash it with water after each
titration.
11. Place white glazed tile below the titration flask for clear visibility of colour
change.
