CHEMICALS REQUIRED

1. Various samples of antacids

2. SodiumHydrocide
3. Sodium Carbonate
4. Hydrochloric Acid
5. Phenolpthalin
6. Methyl Orange
PROCEDURE
1. Standardization of NaOH- First we will take 20 ml of 0.1m HCI
and titrate it with unknown concentration solution of NaOH to find
it's concentration.

2. Determine the mass of antacid for analysis- Since maximum of

our antacids are tablet, so we will pulverize and/or grind the
antacid tablet with a mortar and pestle. Measure not more than
0.29 of the pulverized commercial antacid tablet in a 250ml
Baretle Erlenmeyer flask having a known mass.

3. Prepare the antacid for analysis Pipette 40.0ml of standardize

0.1M HCI (stomach acid equivalent) into the flask and swirl.

4. Prepare the burette for titration- Prepare a clean burette. Rinse

the clean burette with two 3 to 5 ml portions of a standard NaOH
solution. Record the actual molar concentration of the NaOH. Fill
the burette with the NaOH solution; be sure no air bubbles are in
the burette tip Wait for 30 seconds and then read its initial volume.

5. Titrate the sample- Once the antacid solution has cooled, titrate
the sample with the NaOH solution to a blue end point. Watch
closely, the endpoint may only take a few milliliters, depending on
the concentration of the antacid in the sample When a single drop
of NaOH solution changes the sample solution from yellow to
blue, stop Wait for 30 seconds and then read the final volume of
NaOH solution in the burette
a) Repeat the titration of the same sample- Refill the burette and
repeat the experiment.

b) Analyze another antacid Perform the experiment, in duplicate,

for another antacid Record all data on the report sheet
