This document provides instructions for conducting acid-base titration experiments. Students are asked to determine the molarity of strong and weak acid solutions by titrating them with a sodium hydroxide solution of a known concentration and recording the pH changes. Precise procedures are outlined for preparing the solutions, collecting pH data during the titration using a LabQuest interface, identifying the equivalence point on the resulting graph, and safely disposing of the solutions after neutralization. A trial with acetic acid is also to be completed.

Hand in the Flow Chart for EXP 8 (Acid-Base Titration) Hand in the Data Processing and Post Lab questions for 7 (Standardization of NaOH) Acid-Base Titration Experiment 8 Week of 4/6/15 Experimental Summary Purpose Conduct acid-base titrations Compare equivalence points of strong and weak acids Determine the Molarity of the two acid solutions Molarity and Titrating Solutions Molarity = moles of solute / liters of solution Titration = the process used to determine the volume of a solution needed to react with a given amount of another substance Can be used to determine the molarity of an unknown solution Titrant = solution delivered from a buret Equivalence point = the region where the smallest change in volume causes the greatest change in pH Preparing Solutions for Titration Add 25 mL HCl to a 50 mL beaker This will be your stock solution of HCL Add 50 mL DI H2O to a 250 mL beaker Use a 10 mL pipet to transfer 10 mL of the HCl to the 250 mL beaker Add a magnetic stir bar to the beaker and place it on a magnetic stirrer Set up the assembly as shown in figure 1 Fill the buret with 0.1 M NaOH Setting Up Your LabQuest From the File Sensors Screen, select Mode This will bring up the mode menu Melting Point From the drop down menu under the mode function, select Events With Entry Enter volume for the name and mL for the unit This will change the x axis to display as volume, instead of time elapsed Collecting data Immerse the pH probe in the HCl solution and begin your data collection by pressing the play button in the bottom left corner. To create a new entry, select the Keep button. This will save your pH data and direct you to a new screen where you must enter the volume associated with the entry. The entry name should be the exact volume of NaOH added (to the nearest 0.05 mL). When the trial is finished Use the stock solution of HCL to neutralize the solution pH between 6.5 and 7.5 Pour the solution down the drain Rinse the pH sensor, the buret, your 250 mL beaker, and the stir bar Examine your data Final Graph After neutralizing and disposing of your solution, examine the graph to find the volume at which the greatest change in pH is achieved. This is the equivalence point Acetic Acid Trial Repeat a trial using acetic acetic solution Use data from a neighbor for trial 2 of the two acids Special Considerations Goggles and gloves are to be worn at all times Make sure that the pH probes are immersed in the buffer solution when they are put back. NaOH is caustic. Handle with care. HCL is a corrosive acid. Handle with care Be sure to clean lab benches before leaving WASH YOUR HANDS BEFORE LEAVING
