  • 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

    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

    between sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and acetic acid that form sodium acetate (CH3COONa) and water (H2O) as follow. CH3COOH (aq) + NaOH (aq) CH3COONa (aq) + H2O (l) However, the method of volumetric analysis is highly dependent on a pure standard which the amount of substance present is accurately known. Prior to estimation of the acetic acid, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) was used as the standard solution. Thus, the concentration of the sodium hydroxide (NaOH) was first determined because sodium

    to form hydrogen ions and an anion, an anion is a negatively charged particle. Bases are substance that, when added to water produce hydroxide ions. Hydroxide Ions have one hydrogen and one oxygen atom. Some types of bases include sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide, ammonia, sodium carbonate, and sodium phosphate. Bases turn red litmus paper blue. Bases taste bitter and feel slippery. When a base neutralizes an acid it forms a salt. Neutralizing

    substances soluble, which is why soaps are effective at cleaning. After we obtained our oil bases, we added sodium hydroxide and glycerol. The sodium hydroxide allows the substance to actually become clean, as oil is a hydrophobic agent, which means it would be ineffective in cleaning alone, because most substances repel it. The solution was heated, with stirring, until it became thick. Next, sodium chloride was added. This causes the soap to precipitate, allowing for it to be filtered easier. We next

    percentage of acetylsalicyclic acid in one commercial aspirin tablet, using the principle of back titration. (II) Discussion Back titration rather than direct titration was used because there was no suitable indicator for acetylsalicyclic acid and sodium hydroxide solution. Therefore, excess amount of NaOH was used to react with acetylsalicyclic acid. The number of moles of unreacted NaOH was determined from titration with hydrochloric acid. Eventually the number of moles of acetylsalicyclic acid and its

    compounds would be classified into two different substances. These two substances are acids and bases. The Arrhenius Theory of acids and bases states that acids are substances that dissociate to form charged atoms known as ions. Bases ionize to produce hydroxide ions while acids produce hydrogen ions. HCl is an example of an Arrhenius acid because it dissociate into an H+ ion. The reaction involving NaOH is an example of an Arrhenius base because it is increasing the concentration of (OH-) ions. The reaction
