Titration is a process in which an unknown concentration of an acid is determined in a solution. By this approach, a base solution is added to an acidic solution until an equilibrium is reached between the two substances. When the titration has reached an endpoint, or neutralization, the color of the solution will change. With the volume calculated at the end of this reaction, it is possible to determine the concentrations of the acid and the base of the solution.
The experiment to be conducted involves the standardization of NaOH ( sodium hydroxide) using KHP ( potassium hydrogen phthalate ) and the titration of an unknown acid. By use of a colorless indicator, Phenolphthalein, the end point of neutralization is established. Soon after this process is completed, the concentration of the NaOH will be calculated . In Part two

In a beaker containing 500mL of distilled water, dissolve 2.0-2.3 g of NaOH.
In a Erlenmeyer flask, determine the mass of 0.4- 0.6 g of KHP ( Potassium hydrogen Phthalate ).
Adding 25-30 mL of water to the flask, dissolve the KHP.
Once dissolved add 3-4 drops of phenolphthalein to the solution.
Rinse the buret with two, 5 mL portions of the NaOH solution.
Fill the buret with the NaOH solution and expel any air bubbles. Empty excess liquid into a 50 mL beaker.
Record the initial buret reading to +/- 0.01 mL at the meniscus.
At a gradual pace, begin opening the stopcock to release NaOH into the KHP solution, shaking the flask in a circular motion.
Slow the amount released by the buret when a faint pink color appears, but disappears shortly after. Continue this process until a vibrant pink color remains.
Record the final volume of the solution and calculate molarity.
Repeat this procedure two more times and receive an average of all trials.
Part 2: Identification of an Unknown
Place a clean, dry 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask on balance, and slowly dispense liquid bleach until there is about .5 g. Record the mass of bleach, and add 25 mL of de-ionized water and about 2 g of KI. Swirl contents until the KI dissolves. Then add 3 drops of 1 M H2SO4, mix, and let stand for 1 or 2 minutes.
We were then to make a base solution of 0.7 M NaOH. In order to standardize
The equation shows how 1 mol of Na2CO3 reacts with 1 mol of H2SO4, so
8. Continue stirring. Record the temperature at which crystals begin to appear in the solution.
I rinsed the burette by opening the tap and allowing the HCl to flow, which released any air bubbles and cleaned the tip of the burette. After adding 5 drops of phenolphthalein indicator, the solution turned pink.

While the solution is cooling, you need NaOH. Add 50g NaOH into the jar and pour 50ml dH2O. The solution will be very hot so cool it by putting it in the freezer. When the two solutions are cooled, start to pour NaOH solution. Pour in small amounts because all of the mixes in the Erlenmeyer flask will start to heat. Add it slowly and stir after addition. You need to do this while you see 2 layers; the ph will be 10-12. When the NaOH is added, wait while all solution cools because you need to pick the top layer
The experiment in this laboratory is to study pH and buffers. The pH is defined as the –log[H+] and measures the molar concentration of hydrogen ions. In the study of life, life can only be stabilized through a buffer. A buffer is a solution that is able to resist pH change and maintain the stability of everyday life. A buffer requires a weak acid and its conjugated base. When a solution such as an acid or base presents itself into the buffer solution, the buffer will neutralize the amount of acids or base added to the solution. As a result, pH maintains stabilization and cells are able to function properly. In this study experiment, sodium chloride is the tested solution. Sodium chloride (NaCl) is commonly known to many as salt. NaCl is tested
In a 100ml beaker place 50mls of water, measure the temperature of the water and record this initial temperature onto a table. Set the timer and add one teaspoon of Ammonium Nitrate to the water, stir this continuously until the Ammonium Nitrate has dissolved.
I had to make sure that the bleach solution is mixed completely and shook the flask from top to bottom. This results in air bubbles forming along with some froth, meaning I had to leave the flask to settle. While I was leaving the bleach to settle, I must transfer 30 cm3 of sodium thiosulphate from its beaker to the burette. Before doing that, I had washed the burette with a little bit of sodium thiosulphate, which would allow the solution to run smoothly into the tip of the burette. Having done that, I would need to see where the bottom of the meniscus lies, i.e. V1, unless it lies on zero, and then record this value.
2. In the large beaker, put water and boil it completely. After that, remove the beaker from heat. 3. Sample tubes (A-D) should be labeled and capped tightly.
This was due to the indicator changing color as the solution approached its end point. The solutions that turned dark pink passed their end points, meaning that the number of moles of acid and base were surpassed and not at equality. The solutions that turned light pink were near the end points, meaning that the number of moles of acid and base were very close to equality. The first step in determining which antacid has the best at neutralizing the hydrochloric acid was to calculate the average amount of moles of acid left in the Erlenmeyer flasks after titration. Since at the equivalence point the number of moles of base is equal to the number of moles of acid, the known moles of base used can also be used as the known moles of acid left in the flasks.

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).
