  • 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

  • Analysis Of Acetic Acid With Sodium Hydroxide

    762 Words  | 2 Pages

    MATERIALS AND METHODS: Before the acetic acid solution could be titrated with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), the actual concentration of NaOH needed to be determined. By way of standardization, the actual concentration of NaOH was established, to account for the fact that the solid is not pure and for its tendency to react with carbon dioxide in the air. A 50 mL burette (±0.01 mL, Kimax) was rinsed thoroughly, twice with reverse osmosis water, and then twice with approximately 5 mL of ~0.25 M NaOH solution

    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.)

    which the galactose subunit is removed from lactose and joined to a molecule of fructose. Isomerization of lactose can be accomplished using chemical or enzymatic methods. Chemical methods employ an alkaline catalyst, such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, in combination with a complexing agent, such as borate or aluminate, that will attach to lactulose and precipitate as an insoluble complex from the reaction system, thus shifting chemical equilibrium in favor of the formation of the

    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.

    provides a durable, decorative, 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

    solution: H2O → H (+) + OH (-) During the electrolysis process, the positive hydrogen ions move towards the cathode and the negative hydroxide and sulphate ions move towards the anode. At the cathode the hydrogen ions gain an electron. They are discharged and are converted into hydrogen gas: 2H (+) + 2e (-) → H2 At the anode, the hydroxide, not the sulphate ions are discharged. Water and oxygen gas are formed: 4OH (-) → 2 H2O + O2 + 4e (-) The hydrogen gas can be collected

    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.
