DETERMINATION OF STRENGTH OF AN
ACID USING pH METER
Aim

To find the strength of a given


hydrochloric acid solution against a standard
sodium hydroxide solution using pH meter.

Apparatus required
pH meter, Electrode, Beaker, Pipette,
Burette.
Chemicals required

Hydrochloric acid (HCI), sodium hydroxide


(NaOH). buffer of pH=4 and 9.2
Principle

When an alkali is added to an acid solution,


the pH of the solution increases
slowly, but at vicinity of the end point,
the rate of change of pH of the solution is very
rapid. From the sharp break in the curve, we can
find out the end point, from which the
strength of HClcan be calculated.

Procedure

To start with, the pH meter is standardized using different buffers


of known pH.
Then the glass electrode and reference electrode are washed with distilled water
and then
with the acid solution. 20 mL of HCI solution is taken in a 250 mL
beaker. Sufficient
distilled water is added (100mL) so that the glass electrode as well as the reference
electrode is completely dipped. Noted the pH of the pure acid solution. Then added l mlL
of 0.1 N NaOH from the burette in the beaker. Stirred the contents well. The pH of the
solution is noted. The addition of NaOH solution from the burette is continued noting the
pH of the solution, up to 9- 10 mL of the NaOH.Near the end point a very small amount
OT sodium
hydroxide is added, because change in pH will be very much appreciable
Wnen the acid is neutralized, further addition of such a small amount as 0.01 mL raises
the pH about 9 to 10.
