TITRATION

Materials: NaOH solution, HCl solution, phenolphthalein indicator solution, burette, beaker 250mL, Erlenmeyer
flask 250mL, wash bottle, funnel, dropper, goggles, gloves, and clean white paper.

Procedures:
1. Prepare an NaOH solution of known concentration in Molarity (Volume of water: 250mL, Density of NaOH:
2.13 g/mL)
2. Fill in your burette with NaOH solution up to the 0.00mL mark. Use a small beaker to avoid spillage. DO NOT
overfill the burette. Be sure that there are no air bubbles.
3. Allow some base solution or titrant to drip into a beaker to ensure that the burette is filled with the solution.
4. Read the volume of the base solution in the burette and record with proper number of significant figures.
Record exactly as you read it; do not subtract from the total volume of the burette. Also record the exact
concentration of the NaOH solution.
5. From the flask marked “Unknown HCl”, dispense exactly a diluted 15mL of HCl in 100 mL of distilled water
and put the solution to a 250mL flask. Add two to three drops of indicator solution and mix well by gently
swirling the flask. Prepare 3 set-ups for 3 trials.
6. Add the titrant or base solution, drop by drop, to the acid solution in the flask swirling after each drop. You
can observe the indicator change color when the base solution hits the surface of the solution being titrated
and the color disappears upon swirling. As the endpoint is approached, observe the change of color after
addition of each drop of the titrant and stop adding when the solution in the flask becomes permanently
tinted. Record the final volume of the base solution in the burette.
7. Repeat for a total of three trials.

GUIDE QUESTIONS:
1. Write the balanced equation for the reaction of NaOH with HCl. Include the correct products.
Answer: NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H2O
2. Calculate the average concentration of the acid. Attach all sample calculations from the three trials.

MNaOH = 2.426
VNaOH = 11.5mL
MHCl = ?
VHCl = 20mL
Answer:

3. Why are aqueous solutions used in this laboratory activity?

Answer: The aqueous solutions are HCl which is Hydrochloric Acid and NaOH which is the Sodium
Hydroxide
4. What did you observe as you added each drop of base to the solution?
Answer : The solution is becoming partially pink but becoming transparent again while adding enough
base the solution become pink color solution and it required enough base to neutralize.
5. How many moles of sodium hydroxide would be required to neutralize 1.5 mole of HCl?
Answer : To neutralize the 1.5 mole of HCl, it will required 1.5 NaOH or Sodium Hydroxide because of the
1:1 mole ratio.
6. How many millimoles of acid are present in 150mL of 2.0M HCl solution?
Answer :
 OBSERVATIONS:
The observations that we have observe is:

1.Firstly, even though there are the same amount of HCI in the flask the effects of dropping the NaOH is not the
same amount.
2.Secondly, when every drop of NaOH is dropped in the flask there is a hint of color pink.

3.Thirdly, it tooks us many attempts of dropping the NaOH solution onto the flask of HCI before having a change
of color where as it went from clear to pink.
4.Lastly, having the right protective gear can save you from dangers such as having skin irritation,eye
infection,and any other kind of effects that may cause when dealing with the dangerous chemical.
