Determining the Concentration of Sulphuric Acid

Risk assessment

· CorrosiveAs sulphuric acid and sodium hydroxide are both corrosive,

I will wear gloves, goggles and lab coat when performing the

experiment

· Eye protection must be wornIf any breakages occur I will carefully

dispose of the glass in a suitable bin.

· If any spillages occur during my experiments I will clean them

promptly.

Dilution of H2SO4

As the concentration of the sulphuric acid~10moldm-3, it is too

concentrated for my experiments so I will dilute it to approx

0.05moldm-3.

Apparatus –

· 50.0cm3 pipette

· 100.00cm3 graduation flask

· deionised water

· dropper

· 50.0cm3 pipette

· 250.00cm3 graduation flask × 2

Method-

· Pipette 50.0cm3 of the aqueous sulphuric acid into a 100.00cm3

graduation flask

· Add deionised water up to the graduation mark and agitate to ensure

a homogenous solution.

· Pipette 25.0cm3 of the new solution into a 250.00cm3 graduation

flask

· Add deionised water up to the graduation mark and agitate.

· Pipette 25.0cm3 of the new solution into a 250.00cm3 graduation

flask

· Add deionised water up to the graduation mark and agitate.

Titration of Aqueous Sulphuric Acid and Aqueous Sodium Hydroxide –

Method 1

Apparatus-

· Solution of sulphuric acid (approx 0.05moldm-3)

· NaOH solution, 0.100mol dm-3

· 50.00cm3 Burette

· 25.0cm3 Pipette

· Small Funnel

· Clamp and stand

· 250.0cm3 Conical flasks

· Methyl orange indicator

Diagram

Method

· Set up the stand and buret...

: 0.001

Therefore 0.001 moles of H2SO4 (~ 0.05 moldm-3) is needed to produce

24.00 cm3 of CO2

Volume of H2SO4

0.001 moles of H2SO4, I will use the same approx concentration of H2SO4

~ 0.05 moldm-3 as I have already prepared it.

Volume = moles / concentration

= (0.001 / 0.05) × 1000

=20.0cm3

Mass of MgCO3

F.mass of MgCO3= 24.3+ 12.0 + (3 × 16.0)

= 84.3

Mass= formula mass × Moles

= 84.3 × 0.001

~ 0.0843g

In order to ensure that all of the aqueous sulphuric acid reacts I

will use MgCO3 in excess and so I will use 1g of MgCO3.

    First thing you would want to do is try measuring out your volume of your solution, maybe from inside a beaker or flask. You also want to start titrating your solution until its specific endpoint has been gained. You can tell this, by the color that gives off from the solution. This is why we add a base to our concentration so we can eventually give off a color and figure out the titration. Well, I think that our methane gas and hydrogen sulfide gas would start giving off a reaction and the concentration would eventually lower. Since our concentration would begin to lower, so would our reaction rate for our reaction. Although, as our methane gas and hydrogen sulfide gas are being formed with our Hydrogen and Carbon disulfide, this is going to “jump start” a reverse reaction, which means if we start adding more of our substances to the reaction, its going to speed up the process. This will go on and on until we are at an equal rate and eventually in an dynamic

Weight the vial and contents accurately on an analytical balance. Handle the vial with a small strip of paper to reduce the risk of error (due to added weight). Pour about half of the sample into a clean dry 200mL Erlenmeyer flask and weight again. Use the remaining half of the sample to get a second weight of around 0.6g-0.7g. Make sure the vial is capped on every weight taken.

  • Titration Essay

    1053 Words  | 3 Pages

    Titration is a technological process in which a solution, known as a titrant, is slowly and carefully added from a burrette into a fixed volume of another solution (known as the sample). In an acid-base titration an acid neutralizes a base or vice versa. This process is maintained untill the reaction between the titrant and the sample (acid and the base) is judged to be complete. The reaction is judged to be complete when the endpoint is reached. An endpoint in a titration analysis is referred to as the point at which no more titrant is added due to an observable colour change of an indicator. Indicators can be used to find an endpoint because they change colour when the pH of a solution changes and an endpoint in a titration is an empirical approximation of the equivalence point, which is the point of major pH change in the titration sample due to the fact that equal chemical amounts of reactants have been combined at that point. All indicators have a pH range, which is the range of pH values at which the colour of the indicator changes. Thus

  • Standardizing a Sodium Hydroxide Solution

    695 Words  | 2 Pages

    For this experiment we used titration to standardize the exact concentration of NaOH. Titration is the process of carefully adding one solution from a buret to another substance in a flask until all of the substance in the flask has reacted. Standardizing is the process of determining a solutions concentration. When a solution has been standardized it is referred to as a standard solution. To know when a solution is at its end point an indicator is added to acidic solution. An indicator is an organic dye that is added to an acidic solution. The indicator is one color is in the acidic solution and another color in the basic solutions. An end point occurs when the organic dye changes colors to indicate that the reaction is over (Lab Guide pg. 141).
