    This lab report details a volumetric analysis experiment to determine the concentration of hydrochloric acid through titration with sodium hydroxide. The student titrated 25 cm3 of 2 mol/dm3 NaOH solution with HCl until the indicator changed color, recording the volume of acid used. Calculations found the molarity of HCl to be 2.959 mol/dm3 and the mass concentration to be 108 g/dm3. Titrations are useful techniques applicable in food, medicine and various industries to quantify substances.

    The passage discusses using titration to determine the concentration of hydrochloric acid. Key steps included setting up a burette, adding phenolphthalein indicator, and recording the volume of acid used in each trial until the color changed.

    The concentration of hydrochloric acid was determined through a titration experiment. Sodium hydroxide solution of a known concentration was titrated with hydrochloric acid until the indicator changed color, and calculations were done to find the molarity and mass concentration of the acid.

    The balanced equation for the reaction that occurred during the titration is: NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l).

    Lab #15 Date:

    Topic: Volumetric Analysis

    Aim: To determine the concentration of hydrochloric acid by titration

    Apparatus/Materials: Conical flasks white tile dropping pipette


    Burette pipette funnel
    Phenolphthalein white paper clamp
    HCl (aq) NaOH (aq)

    Procedure:

    1. Set up the burette on the clamp stand.


    2. Rinse the burette with acid, then fill it to the zero mark.
    3. Use the pipette to measure 25 cm3 of the alkali and pour into a conical flask.
    4. Add 2-3 drops of phenolphthalein to the flask and swirl gently.
    5. Titrate the acid against the base until the colour of the indicator just changes.
    6. Record the volume of acid used.
    7. Repeat the steps above as many times as possible until volumes are consistent.
    8. Use the values obtained to calculate the molar concentration of the acid.

    Observation:

    Table showing the final volume, initial volume and the volume of acid used in each trial of the
    titration

    Trials Rough 1 2 3
    Final volume (cm3) 16.5 16.8 17 17
    Initial volume (cm3) 0 0 0 0
    Volume of acid used (cm3) 16.5 16.8 17 17

    Average titre of HCl used: (16.8+17+17)/3 50.8/3= 16.9 cm 3

    Calculations:

    i) Calculate the number of moles of NaOH (aq) used in the titration

    Molar concentration: 2 mol/dm3


    1 dm3 = 1,000 cm3

    1,000 cm3 has 2 mol


    25 cm3 has ?

    x= (25x2)/1,000
    = 0.05 mol

    ii) Write a balanced equation for the reaction which occurred.

    NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq)  NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)

    iii) From the equation 1 mole of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of HCl

    iv) From the titration 0.05 moles of NaOH reacts with 0.05 moles of HCl.

    v) Calculate the number of moles of HCl in 1 dm3 (molar concentration)

    0.05 moles of HCl was used in 16.9 cm3


    How many were used in 1,000 cm3 (1 dm3)

    x = (0.05 x 1,000)/16.9 x = 50/9 = 2.959 mol

    ~The molar concentration is 2.959 mol/dm3.

    vi) Calculate the mass concentration of HCl

    HCl molar mass  H: 1 Cl: 35.5 1 + 35.5 = 36.5 g

    1 mol HCl is 36.5 g


    2.959 mol is ?

    x = (36.5 x 2.959) = 108.0035 g


    108 g to the nearest whole number

    ~The mass concentration is 108 g/dm3.


    Reflection:

    In this experiment, we were able to use titration to calculate the concentration of an acid.
    Titrations are useful, as they can be applied in a variety of practical ways. In the food industry, it
    can be used to investigate the concentration of vitamin C or E, which has an effect on the
    product’s colour. In medicine, it is used to monitor blood glucose levels. Titrations are therefore
    very important, as they are utilized in these ways, as well as in many others in various
    industries.

    Conclusion:

    By titration, we determined the molar concentration of the hydrochloric acid to be 2.959


    mol/dm3, and the mass concentration to be 108 g/dm3.
