INSTRUCTIONS
Attempt all questions
Question one
You are provided with the following reagents;
Y which is oxalic acid crystals, H2C2O4.2H20
DA2 which is sodium hydroxide solution of unknown concentration.
Phenolphthalein indicator
You are required to;
Standardize DA2 using oxalic acid.
Procedure
Weigh accurately about 1.6g of Y in a clean beaker. Add 100cm 3 of distilled water and stir to
dissolve T thoroughly. Then transfer this solution into a 250ml volumetric flask and make up the
solution to the mark. Label this solution DA1.
Pipette exactly (or 20) of DA1 into a clean conical flask and add 2-3 drops of phenolphthalein
indicator. Titrate it with DA2 from the burette until the solution just turns pink. Repeat the
titration to obtain consistent values.
Record your results in the table below.
