1 Chemistry 3200 Today you are given a chance to brush up on some of the techniques that you will be using during the remainder of the semester. Lab grades will be based on obtaining the correct answer in your analyses. Proper weighing and volumetric techniques are essential for successful completion of the classical methods labs. This lab is designed to help you become thoroughly familiar with the balances, flasks, pipettes, etc. A. Calibration of a Pipet Calibration of a pipet will allow you to develop your technique. Your results are easily checked and a mistake is not as costly as it may be during an analysis. 1. Your instructor will direct you how to clean a 25 ml volumetric pipet. Rinse pipet thoroughly with deionized (DI) water after cleaning. 2. Clean off and dry the outside of a 150 ml Erlenmeyer flask. Dry the inside of the neck of the flask. Seal the flask with Parafilm. 3. Weigh the flask. You will need balance sensitivity of at least 1 milligram. 4. Carefully fill the pipet to the mark with distilled water after measuring the temperature of the water with a thermometer. Deliver the contents into the 150 ml flask taking care not to wet the neck of the flask. Observe all of the rules of pipetting (if you are not sure, ask). DO NOT force out the last drop, merely touch the tip of the pipet to the side of the flask. 5. Weigh the flask and the water. Obtain the weight of water by difference and calculate the volume of the pipet using the temperature corrected density of water. (See Harris, Table 2-7, page 42 for the density of water. 6. Repeat the determination until you get three results that agree within 0.1 %. Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the three measurements and record them in your lab notebook. Divide the standard deviation by the mean and multiply by 100% to determine if your results agree within 0.1 %. Notify your TA if your pipet volume differs by more that 0.1 ml from the stated volume. This procedure should be followed when extremely precise results are required. It will not be necessary to repeat this calibration for most of the titrations that you will perform. Make sure you use your calibrated pipet the rest of the semester. B. Simple Titration - Use of the Buret Titrations are performed by delivering a variable volume of reagent to the unknown solution using a buret. A 50.0 ml buret will be available for titrations. Like the pipet it is a precision tool, and with proper technique, it can be used to deliver various amounts of liquids with a precision of a few parts per thousand ( %). After checking the buret for cleanliness (No droplets adhering to the inside of the glass after a distilled water rinse), rinse with two small volumes (~5 ml) of the solution to be used. Fill to near the zero mark

2 and dispense some of the liquid through the stopcock to purge air bubbles from the tip. After removing the bubbles take an initial reading. You will subtract this initial volume from the final volume after the endpoint has been reached. Errors in both initial and final readings will contribute to the total uncertainty in the volume delivered. The buret should be kept clean when not in use. The tip should not be broken or chipped. If it is chipped, replace the tip. Your instructor will describe the correct way to clean your buret. The same general method used for calibration of your pipet may be used for your buret. It is generally safe to assume that the marked gradations on your buret are accurate but you may wish to check this by calibration when high precision is required. Procedure You will be given a standardized solution of NaOH (~0.1 M check the bottle for the actual concentration). Use your calibrated pipet to add 25.0 ml of this solution into a clean 250 ml volumetric flask. Dilute the contents to the mark with distilled water and mix thoroughly. (What is the concentration of the solution in the flask?) You will use this solution in your buret to titrate an unknown solution of HCl. Be sure to clean your pipet by flushing it several times with DI water. If the pipet has only been in contact with ionic solutions, it is not necessary to clean it with soap. Pipet 25.0 ml of the HCl unknown ( unknown indicates that you do not know the concentration) into a clean 250 ml volumetric flask. Dilute to the mark and mix thoroughly. Pipet 25 ml of the diluted acid into a 250 ml Erlenmeyer flask, add three drops of phenolphthalein indicator and titrate to the endpoint (change from colorless to the first detectable pale pink). The color change should be noticeable over an addition of only 1 drop of titrant. This should be performed three times. Perform blank titrations in exactly the same manner as was used to titrate your unknown. A blank titration includes everything but the actual analyte; therefore, your sample is 25 ml distilled water. The blank titration will tell you how much titrant is necessary for the indicator to change color (normally a few drops). Make sure you subtract the blank titration volume from the analyte titration volume for your unknowns. This is known as the titration error. The relative uncertainty in the volume delivered depends on the actual volume delivered. If only 1.00 ml is delivered the uncertainty might be 1.00 ± 0.03 or 3 % relative error but if ml are delivered the relative error will only be (0.03/50.00) /100 = 0.06 %. For this reason, it is desirable to adjust the concentration of the titrant so that about 20 ml are used in a titration. Report the concentration of HCl unknown (i.e., the original 25 ml) in moles/liter from the known stoichiometry of the acid-base neutralization reaction, the known concentration of the NaOH titrant, and the known dilutions of the HCl solution. Values are to be reported on the Experiment Report Sheets. The lab report for Experiment 1 should include the volume of your 25 ml pipet along with its associated error and the concentration of the HCl solution with its associated error. (See Harris, Chapter 2, for common glassware tolerances, errors.) See Appendix 2 for an example of error analysis calculations.
