QUESTION The question that was proposed for investigation was: Can the exact concentration of 0.1M sodium hydroxide solution be determined by titration (Lab Guide pg. 141)? BACKGROUND DISCUSSION 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

  • Exploring Thermal Changes in Sodium Hydroxide Solutions

    1810 Words  | 4 Pages

    Energy In this lab, we dissolved Sodium hydroxide, a strong base and corrosive, in 50ml of water to observe the change in temperature of the solution. At room temperature, sodium hydroxide is a white crystal-like odorless solid that absorbs moisture from the air. When dissolved in water or used to neutralized acid, it unleashes substantial heat which undoubtedly the predominant catalyst for the change in the energy. The heat that is produced by sodium hydroxide is sufficient to ignite combustible substances

    atomic mass of lithium. 1) In the first method the RAM (Relative atomic mass) of lithium is determined by the Volume of hydrogen gas produced. 2) In the second method the RAM of lithium is determined by titrating the lithium hydroxide produced. To some extend, I think that the first method is the most practical and less complicated, because the less calculations has to be done. Hence it is more easer to measure the volume of hydrogen gas. Test-1 My mission

  • Investigating the Effect that Concentration Has on a Reaction

    3728 Words  | 8 Pages

    INTRODUCTION ============ Aim- to investigate the effect that concentration has on a reaction on these factors: * Temperature rise * Heat evolved * Heat given off due to the neutralization between Hydrochloric Acid and Sodium hydroxide solution. Neutralization takes place when acids react with substances called bases. When they react their acidity is cancelled out, and the reaction always produces a salt and water. The base can be soluble (when called an alkali) or insoluble

    acid to form a neutral solution; which contains salt and water. Acid + Base Salt + Water --------------------------- In my experiment I am trying to find out how much acid it takes to neutralise a base to form a neutral solution. I will use one molar of Nitric Acid as the acid and one molar of Ammonium Hydroxide as the base. So this will be a 1:1 ratio. (Molarity = how many molecules of the acid or alkali per 1000 cm3 (1 litre) of water.) Nitric Acid + Ammonium Hydroxide à Ammonium Nitrate + Water

    2212 Words  | 5 Pages

    molecule. Succinic acid can be completely neutralised by sodium hydroxide. The indicator most suitable for this experiment is phenolphthalein, it is colourless in acids and pink in alkalises. The half way stage is about pH 9.3, this is when it will either change from colourless to a very pale pink or from pink to colourless. To determine the relative formula mass of succinic acid I am going to do a titration against sodium hydroxide. The equation for the reaction is given below. To make the

    Investigating a Neutralisation Reaction Between Hydrochloric Acid and Sodium Hydroxide To investigate a neutralisation reaction I must know all the factors that affect it in order to investigate in this. Here are all the factors; Temperature - This will defiantly affect an exothermic or endothermic reaction. Concentration - If the solution is made more concentrated it means it contains more particles of reactant, therefore more collisions are likely and an result of this is that the

  • The Chemistry of Painting Cars

    glossy appearance. If rusting continually takes place the car becomes unsafe. When water and oxygen come in contact with the metal of the car surface, several redox reactions happen. The oxygen is reduced to hydroxide ions and iron is oxidized to Fe2+ ions which pass into solution. More reactions happen which ultimately produce rust - Fe2O3H2O. The components of car paint There are three components of car paint, each one has different roles: * The pigment provides a barrier to protect

  • Determining the Enthalpy of Neutralisation for Three Acids

    1518 Words  | 4 Pages

    Background information As explained before, neutralisation happens between an acid and a base. Neutralisation is the formation of water from hydrogen and hydroxide ions H30+(aq) + OH-(aq) à 2H20(aq) According to Arrhenius’ theory ‘neutralisation occurs because equal mols of hydrogen ions in the acid are equal to the mols of hydroxide ions in the base so the two react completely to form water’*1. Neutralisation of HCl and NaOH: NaOH(aq)         +          HCl(aq)

  • Unknown Solution Lab Report

    1173 Words  | 3 Pages

    Discussion Unknown Solution 1 I believe that the first unknown solution is made up of molecular compounds. This is because the solution had very little conductivity, meaning there was not an equal amount of ions broken down in the solution. The solution had no scattering, which means the molecular compounds were fully dissolved in their solvent, which was not water. When tap water was added to solution 1, the color changed from green to blue. If water was the original solvent, we would not see this

  • Thermal stability of carboxymethyl chitosan varying the degree of substitution

    1818 Words  | 4 Pages

    Chitosan is a cationic copolymer of glucosamine and N-acetylglucosamine (Mourya, Inamdar,&Tiwari, 2010).Due toits non-toxicity, biodegradability, biocompatibility, bioadhesivity, antimicrobial activity and physicochemical and biological properties, chitosan can be applied in a variety of fields. However, the poor solubility in water and most common organic solvents limits its applications (Dash, Chiellini, Ottenbrite, &Chiellini, 2011).According to the literature (Du & Hsieh, 2008; Mourya, Inamdar
