Na2CO3 Vs HCL
Na2CO3 Vs HCL
Theory
Hydrochloric acid solution may be titrated against sodium carbonate solution using
methyl orange indicator. When weak base is titrated with a strong acid, solution will be
slightly acidic at end point. If a weak acid is titrated with a strong base the solution is
slightly basic because the salt formed will be hydrolysed to a certain extent.
In acid base titrations at the end point the amount of the acid becomes chemically
equivalent to the amount of base present. In case of a strong acid and a strong base
titration at the end point of solution the solution becomes neutral.
Procedure
Observations & Calculations: To be written on left side with pencil as discussed in class.
Precautions
1. While weighing do not spill the substance on balance pan.
2. Wash the burette with water after titration is over.
