LAB REPOR2

The lab report details an acid-base titration experiment conducted to determine the volume and concentration of hydrochloric acid (HCl) by reacting it with sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The procedure involved careful measurement and the use of phenolphthalein as an indicator to observe the reaction's endpoint. The results indicated an average volume of NaOH used and calculated the concentration of HCl, demonstrating the experiment's success in quantitative analysis.

Abstract:
This experiment was done to determine the volume of acid needed to react with
the given amount and volume of base. This experiment involves the titration of
HCl and NaOH solution and by this the unknow concentration of the HCl will
be determined.

Introduction:
An acid-base titration experiment is done for so many purposes like a
neutralization reaction, the production of salt and determining the volume,
concentration and moles of any unknown substance using quantitative analysis.
This is always done with an indicator in place and a bright(white) surface
beneath to see an immediate color change.

Materials:
 HCl solution
 ¬0.1M NaOH solution, phenolphthalein indicator
 Magnetic stirrer
 Wash bottle, Distilled water
 Ring Stand
 Utility clamp
 Pipet bulb or pump, 10 mL pipet
 250 mL beaker
 50 mL buret

Procedures:
1. Add 50 mL of distilled water to a 250 mL beaker. Use a pipet bulb to
pipet 10.0 mL of the HCl solution into the distilled water in the 250 mL
beaker. Add 2-3 drops of phenolphthalein indicator
2. Place the beaker on a magnetic stirrer and stirring bar
3. Obtain approximately 60 mL of ¬0.1 M of NaOH solution in 250 mL
beaker. Obtain a 50 mL burette and rinse the burette with a few mL of the
¬0.1M NaOH solution.
4. Use a utility clamp to suspend a burette over the beaker of HCl. Fill the
burette a little bit above the 0.00 mL level with ¬0.1 M NaOH solution.
Drain a small amount of NaOH solution into a beaker so that it fills the
burette tip and leaves the base at the 0.00 mL level of the burette. Record
the precise concentration of the NaOH solution on your data table
5. Start adding the NaOH solution slowly until the appearance of a pink
disappears. Then continue in one drop increment, until the color becomes
permanent but not too dark
6. Repeat the process for three (3) or when the difference between
successive trials is +_ 0.5
7. Dispose of the beaker contents as directed
Precautions:
 The HCl solution was handled with care so as to not come in
contact with the skin
 Seeing as NaOH is caustic it was made sure to not come in contact
with the skin and clothing
 As the experiment went on over-shooting was avoided to obtain the
correct titre values
 Parallax error was avoided while measuring the volumes of the
solutions

Results:
Rough(cm3) First Reading(cm3) Second Reading(cm3)
Final 5.30 cm3 5.20 cm3 9.30 cm3
Initial 0.00 cm3 0.00 cm3 5.20 cm3
Volume Used 5.30 cm3 5.20 cm3 4.10 cm3

1. Average volume= (5.3+5.2)/2


= 10.5/2
= 5.25 cm3
2. C=m/v
0.1=x/5.25
X=0.1*5.25
=0.525 moles of NaOH
3. In the reaction NaOH and HCl are in a ratio of 1:1
1:1
0.525:x
1=1
0.525=x
X=0.525*1
=0.525 moles of HCl

4. C=m/v
=0.525/10
=0.0525mol/cm3

Conclusion:
In conclusion, the experiment successfully determined the moles and
concentration of the HCl using the values gotten from the work. By doing this
experiment it not only teaches us how to undergo the lab work but it also
teaches us how to deduce molar ratio or to relate different formulas together to
find an answer e.g.: c=m/v or NaMbVb=NbMaVa#
