    Standardization of NaOH

    Uploaded by

    Keisha Denolo
    This document describes an experiment to standardize a sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution by titrating it against a primary standard of potassium acid phthalate (KHP). The procedure involves preparing approximately 0.1 M NaOH by dissolving NaOH pellets in water. KHP is accurately weighed and dissolved in water, along with a phenolphthalein indicator. The NaOH solution is then titrated against the KHP solution to a light pink endpoint to determine the molarity of the NaOH. Calculations are shown to determine the molarity of NaOH based on the titration results. Guide questions at the end address the purpose and process of standardization.

    The key takeaways are that the experiment aims to standardize a NaOH solution through titration against potassium acid phthalate using phenolphthalein as an indicator. The procedure, equations, results and questions about the standardization process are provided.

    Standardizing a solution is important to know the exact concentration of an unknown solution. This allows the solution to be used to determine the concentration of other unknown solutions through titration experiments.

    Using freshly boiled and cooled distilled water helps remove any contaminants or carbon dioxide that may be present in the water, which could interfere with the titration. Carbon dioxide would react with the NaOH.

    WRITTEN REPORT FOR EXPERIMENT 10

    STANDARDIZATION OF NaOH Solution


    I. Objectives
    At the end of this laboratory work, you should be able to standardize NaOH titrant.

    II. Reagents
    sodium hydroxide pellets, NaOH
    potassium acid phthalate, HKC3H4O4(KHP)
    phenolphthalein indicator

    III. Apparatus
    Aspirator Buret clamp Graduated Cylinder Pipet
    Base Buret Erlenmeyer Flask Hot Plate Stirring Rod
    1 L Beaker Funnel Iron Stand Wash Bottle

    IV. Procedure
    a. Standardization of NaOH
    i. Prepare approximately 0.1 M NaOH solution by dissolving 2-3 g of NaOH pellets in 500
    mL of freshly boiled and cooled distilled water.
    ii. Weigh accurately 0.300 – 0.5000 g of primary standard potassium acid phthalate, KHP
    (oven dried for one hour at 110 °C and cooled in a desiccator) into an Erlenmeyer flask.
    iii. Add approximately 50 mL distilled water and swirl to dissolve the crystals completely.
    iv. Add 5 drops of phenolphthalein indicator and titrate with the prepared NaOH solution to
    the first permanent very light pink color end point.
    b. Unknown Analysis
    i. Pipet 20 mL of the unknown solution in an Erlenmeyer flask.
    ii. Add approximately 30 mL distilled water.
    iii. Add 5 drops of phenolphthalein indicator and titrate with the standard NaOH solution to
    the first permanent very light pink color end point.

    V. Notes
    Be careful in handling sodium hydroxide. It is a strong base and is very corrosive. Affected areas
    should be washed thoroughly with copious amounts of water. Do not dispose NaOH solution. It will
    be used in the next experiment.

    VI. Pertinent Equation


    NaOH + KH(C3H4O4) ⇌ KNa(C8H4O4)

    VIII. Guide Questions


    1. Why is there a need to use freshly boiled and cooled distilled water in preparing the standard
    NaOH solution?
    The distilled water should be boiled and cooled in preparing the standard NaOH solution
    to get rid of the contaminants and the carbon dioxide in the water

    2. Why do you need to standardize the NaOH solution?


    You need to standardize the NaOH solution to know the exact concentration of a solution
    whose concentration is unknown.

    3. What other primary standard reagents and chemical indicators that can be used in the
    standardization process?
    Methyl orange is one of the indicators commonly used in titrations. In an alkaline, methyl
    orange is yellow, the halfway stage where the mixture of red and yellow produces orange is as
    pH 3.7.

    4. A 5.000 g sample of potassium hydrogen phthalate is dissolved in a 250.00 mL volumetric flask.


    A 25.00 mL aliquot of this solution is then placed in a 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask and titrated with
    a sodium hydroxide of unknown molarity. The titration required 18.50 mL of the sodium
    hydroxide solution using phenolphthalein indicator. What is the molarity of the sodium
    hydroxide solution?
