(QUESTION TASK 1) Practical Test

This document provides instructions for a chemistry practical test to determine the concentration of an unknown hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution through acid-base titration. Students are asked to write a lab report with the following sections: title, objective, theory, procedure, results/observations, calculations, discussion, and conclusion. The procedure involves titrating 25 mL of HCl with a 0.100 M sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution until the phenolphthalein indicator changes color, indicating the equivalence point. Students are to record burette readings and calculate the molarity of HCl using the average volume of NaOH used from multiple trials.

Title
Determination of the concentration of an acid solution.

Objective
To determine the concentration of hydrochloric acid, HCl

Theory
One of the most common reactions in chemistry is the reaction of an acid and base. This reaction is
termed neutralisation.

Standard solution is a solution with accurately known concentration. Titration is a method to determine
the concentration of a solution using a standard solution. In this experiment, the concentration of
hydrochloric acid, HCl is determined using sodium hydroxide, NaOH standard solution.

To achieve this, the volume of sodium hydroxide, NaOH solution that is required to exactly neutralise
the hydrochloric acid, HCl will be accurately measured using a burette. The point at which equal amount
of OH- ion from base and H+ ion from acid react is known as the equivalence point.

An indicator solution is used to determine when a base has exactly neutralizes an acid. A suitable
indicator changes colour when the equivalence point is reached. The colour change is termed the end
point of the titration.

Apparatus
White tile, pipette filler, filter funnel, retort stand, 250 mL conical flask, 100 mL beaker, 50 mL burette
and 25 mL pipette.

Chemical reagents
Distilled water, phenolphthalein, 0.100 M sodium hydroxide, NaOH and unknown concentration
hydrochloric acid, HCl.

Procedure
1. Pour sodium hydroxide, NaOH solution into a beaker.
2. Rinse a burette with distilled water and sodium hydroxide, NaOH solution.
3. Fill the burette with the NaOH solution. Ensure there are no air bubbles trapped at its tip.
4. Record the initial burette reading to two decimal places.
5. Pour hydrochloric acid, HCl into a beaker.
6. Rinse a pipette with distilled water and hydrochloric acid, HCl.
7. Pipette 25 mL of hydrochloric acid, HCl into a conical flask and add two drops of
phenolphthalein.
8. Place a white tile underneath the conical flask.
9. Titrate hydrochloric acid, HCl with sodium hydroxide, NaOH solution while swirling the flask
continuously.
10. Rinse any titrant on the inner wall of conical flask with distilled water.
11. Upon reaching the end point, dispense the sodium hydroxide, NaOH solution drop by drop. The
end point is reached when one drop of the sodium hydroxide, NaOH solution turns the entire
solution in the flask from colourless to permanent pale pink.
12. Record the final burette reading to two decimal places.
13. Repeat the titration until three consistent readings are obtained.
14. Calculate the molarity of the hydrochloric acid, HCl using the average of the three consistent
readings (±0.10 mL).

Result:

Burette reading, mL Gross I II III IV V

Final reading, mL 41.05 40.70 20.30 20.10 20.35 44.90

Initial reading, mL 20.20 20.30 0.00 0.00 0.00 24.35

Volume of NaOH, mL

Average volume of NaOH used =
