Preparation and Standardization of a Sodium Hydroxide Solution
Title: Preparation and Standardization of a Sodium Hydroxide Solution

Objective/Purpose: The objective of this experiment will be the standardization of sodium hydroxide using potassium hydrogen phthalate by the titration method.
Introduction:
The concentration of solutions can be reported in terms of molarity and normality. Molarity is equal to: HCL, HBR, H2SO4, HNO3 M = mol Solute (mol) (Monoprotic) (Diprotic) _______________ V(L)g solutions (L)

M = __N___ for Monoprotic acids molarity = normality molar mass V

One molar solution can be prepared by dissolving the mass of 1 mole of the particular substance in enough water to make a 1L solution.

Monoprotic:
HCL + NaOH  H2O + NaCl

Diprotic:
H2SO4 + NaOH  H2O + Na2SO4

N = __EW__ L EW= molar mass L = number of titratable protons

To perform an acid-base neutralization using the titration technique to determine the concentration (normality) of the NaOH prepared in part A.

C8H5O4K + NaOH H2O + KC8H4O4Na

KHP: KHC8H4O4

*Acid base indicator- substances that have different colors in acidic and basic environments

*Phenolphthalein- colorless in acid and pink in base. The end point of the titration is the first permanent color change.

Materials:
-Sodium hydroxide, Phenolphthalein solution, KHP, Pipette, 10 ml graduated cylinder, large beaker, medium beaker, 25mL volumetric flask, Distilled water, stopper, 10mL burette, ring stand, clamp, analytical balance scale, 25mL Erlenmeyer flask, weighing paper.
Method:
A pipette was used to place 10 drops of 6N NaOH solution into a 25mL volumetric flask. The NaOH was then diluted by adding carbon dioxide-free distilled water to the 25mL mark. A 10mL burette was then put clamped onto a ring stand in vertical position. The burette was then rinsed with 1mL portion of the NaOH solution that was prepared in step one. The burette was then filled with a pipette to the zero

    The experiment began with the preparation and standardization of NaOH solution. It was calculated that 2.00 grams of NaOH pellets were needed to prepare 0.5 L of 0.1 M NaOH solution. The solution was then standardized by conducting three titration trials. It was calculated that 0.7148 grams of KHP were necessary to neutralize 35 mL of the 0.1 M NaOH. Three samples of KHP were weighed approximating this number (Table 1). Each sample was mixed with 40 mL of deionized water and 2 drops of phenolphthalein in 3 Erlenmeyer flasks. Each flask was then titrated with the NaOH to a light pink endpoint. The volumes of NaOH were recorded, averaged, and the standardized. The molarity of the NaOH was found to be 0.0981.…

    The pH indicator, phenolphthalein, turned a light shade of pink when it was in a solution with a pH of 7. Neutralization reactions occur when an acid is mixed with a base. The product of this reaction is a salt and water. These reactions are double displacement reactions, because the cation of the base mixes with the anion from the acid, forming a base, and the hydrogen from the acid mixes with the anion from the base, forming water. In this reaction, the sodium ion from the sodium hydroxide attracts to the acetate ion from the acetic acid, and the extra hydride ion bonds with the negative hydroxide ion to form water. The water produced by the reaction had a pH of seven, and so when the whole solution was light pink, we knew the reaction had fully…

    In order to describe the molar volume of pure water the equation V_3=M_3⁄ρ_(3 ) is used, whereas those of sodium nitrate and the polyether compound poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) are shown by V_1=V_(∅_1)^∞and V_1= V_(∅_2)^∞. In these two equations, V_(∅_1)^∞ and V_(∅_2)^∞ which are the apparent molar volumes at infinite dilution of sodium nitrate and poly(ethylene glycol), must be computed on the basis of data on apparent molal volume (V_∅). The following equation shows the relation of the V_∅ of a binary solution with density, Equation 1…

    Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to demonstrate an example of how to determine the unknown molarity of hydrochloric acid by titration with a base (sodium hydroxide). Titration is a common laboratory method of quantitative chemical analysis that is used to determine the unknown concentration of an identified analyte (wekipedia). The first step will be measuring and combining water and acid (Hydrochloric acid). An indicator anthocyanin will be added to the solution to change the color to pink. Anthocyanin is a water-soluble vacuolar pigment that may appear red, purple, or blue depending on the pH (Wikipedia). This pink color acts as a pH meter and will show a change in color to represent a change in the pH. As the base (sodium hydroxide) is added, the solution will then change color (this is referred to as the “stoichiometric end point”). This color change represents the increase of pH, as well as showing that the moles of the acid in the solution are equal to the moles of the base (Survey of Chemistry lab manual). Using a dilution equation of M1xV1=M2xV2, the concentration of the hydrochloric acid can be calculated. M1=NaOH(molarity), V1=NaOH(volume), M2=HCl(molarity), V2=HCl(volume).…

    By using acid-base titration, we determined the suitability of phenolphthalein and methyl red as acid base indicators. We found that the equivalence point of the titration of hydrochloric acid with sodium hydroxide was not within the ph range of phenolphthalein's color range. The titration of acetic acid with sodium hydroxide resulted in an equivalence point out of the range of methyl red. And the titration of ammonia with hydrochloric acid had an equivalence point that was also out of the range of phenolphthalein.. The methyl red indicator and the phenolphthalein indicator were unsuitable because their pH ranges for their color changes did not cover the equivalence points of the trials in which they were used. However, the methyl red indicator is more suitable, since it's pH range is closer to the equivalence points of the titrations.…
