1 Acid-Base Titration Pre-Lab Discussion In the chemistry laboratory, it is sometimes necessary to experimentally determine the concentration of an acid solution or a base solution. A procedure for making this kind of determination is called an acid-base titration. In this procedure, a solution of known concentration, called the standard solution, is used to neutralize a precisely measured volume of the solution of unknown concentration to which one or two drops of an appropriate acid-base indicator have been added. If the solution of unknown concentration is acidic, a standard base solution is added to the acid solution until it is neutralized. If the solution of unknown concentration is basic, a standard acid solution is added to the base solution until it is neutralized. When carrying out an acid-base titration, you must be able to recognize when to stop adding the standard solution, that is, when neutralization is reached. This is the purpose of the acid-base indicator mentioned above. A sudden change in color of the indicator signals that neutralization has occurred. At this point, the number of hydronium ions from the acid is equal to the number of hydroxide ions from the base. The point at which this occurs is called the end point of the titration. When the end point is reached, the volume of the standard solution used is carefully determined. Then, the measured volumes of the two solutions and the known concentration of the standard solution can be used to calculate the concentration of the other solution. The following steps tell how to calculate the unknown concentration: 1. Write the balanced equation for the reaction. From the coefficients, determine how many moles of acid reacts with 1 mole of base (or vice versa). Use the coefficients to form a mole ratio. 2. If the mole ratio is 1:1, the following relationship can be used to calculate the unknown concentration: M a x V a = M b x V b Where M a = molarity of the acid solution M b = molarity of the base solution V a = volume of the acid solution V b = volume of the base solution The equation for this relationship can be rewritten to find the solution of unknown concentration. For example, if the molarity of the base were unknown, the equation would be M M V a b V 3. If the mole ratio is not 1:1, the calculation of the unknown molarity is slightly more complicated. For example, if 2 moles of standard acid solution is needed to neutralize 1 mole of base of unknown concentration, the following relationship exists: M a x V a = 2(M b x V b ) The 2 in this equation is known as the mole factor. In Part A of this experiment, you will determine the molarity of a solution of NaOH by titrating it with a standard solution of HCl. The equation for this reaction is NCl + NaOH NaCl + H 2 O Because the mole relationship of H + to OH - is 1:1, no mole factor will be needed in your calculations. In Part B of the experiment, you will titrate household white vinegar. Most commercial vinegars contain at least 4% acetic acid by weight. You will use the NaOH solution whose molarity you determined in Part A for the titration of the vinegar. b a

2 Up to this point in your laboratory work, most of your quantitative experiments have required you to calculate mass relationships. This is known as gravimetric analysis. Titration requires you to use volume relationships, a technique known as volumetric analysis. This experiment should lead to a better understanding of the properties of acids and bases, neutralization reactions, and titration techniques. Purpose Determine the molarity of a NaOH solution by titrating it with a standard HCl solution. Determine the molarity of a sample of white vinegar. Equipment Burets, 50-mL (2) Buret stand Double buret clamp Graduated cylinder, 10-mL Erlenmeyer flask, 250-mL Beakers, 250-mL (2) Dropper pipets Pipet, 10-mL Suction bulb Safety goggles Lab apron or coat Materials M HCl (standard solution) Distilled water NaOH (concentration unknown) Detergent solution Phenolphthalein White vinegar Safety Follow all precautions for working with acids and bases. Note the caution alert symbols here and with certain steps in the Procedure. Always wear safety goggles and a lab coat or apron when working in the lab.

3 Procedure Part A Titration of Base of Unknown Concentration 1. Wash two burets with detergent solution. Rinse them thoroughly, first with tap water, then with distilled water. 2. Obtain about 100mL of standard acid solution in a clean, dry 250-mL beaker. Obtain about the same amount of the base of unknown concentration in a second 250-mL beaker. CAUTION: Handle these solutions with care. They can cause painful burns if they come in contact with the skin. 3. Pour about 10 ml of acid into one buret and rinse the inside surface of the buret thoroughly. Allow the acid to run out the buret tip. Fill the buret to slightly about the 0.0-mL mark (see Figure 39-1). Be sure there are no bubbles in the tip. If bubbles are present, add a little more acid to the buret and allow it to drain through the tip until it is free of bubbles and the meniscus is at 0.0 L. 4. Repeat step 3 using the base solution in the second buret. Starting with step 5 of the Procedure, one lab partner should carry out the instructions while the second partner records the data. 5. Place a 125-mL Erlenmeyer flask under the acid buret as in Figure 2. Holding a sheet of white paper behind the buret to make the scale easier to read, allow exactly 10.0 ml of acid to flow into the flask. 6. Add exactly 10.0 ml of distilled water to the flask. Then, using a clean dropper pipet, add three drops of phenolphthalein. Swirl the flask to mix all the ingredients. 7. Place the flask on a sheet of white paper under the buret containing the base solution. To avoid splashing, be sure the tip of the buret is in the flask (See Figure 2). 8. Swirling the flask gently, begin the titration by adding NaOH to the flask drop by drop. Continue until a faint pink color remains for about 30 seconds. If overtitration occurs (the pin color is too deep), follow your teacher s instructions for correction this condition. 9. Note and record the exact final volume reading on the scale of the base buret. Discard the solution in the flask as instructed. Wash and rinse the flask. 10. Repeat the titration (steps 5 through 9). It is not necessary to refill the burets. Simply read and record the initial volumes of the solutions in the burets carefully. Figure 2 After one lab partner has completed two titrations of the NaOH, the lab partners should switch roles. The recording partner should complete two trials (steps 5 through 9) while the other partner takes over the recording duties. NOTE: Be sure to read and record the initial volumes of the solutions in the burets at the beginning of each trial.

4 Part B Titration of White Vinegar 11. Using a pipet and suction bulb, measure 10 ml of white vinegar into a 250-mL Erlenmeyer flask. Add 100 ml of distilled water. 12. Add three drops of phenolphthalein and carefully titrate, using the same NaOH solution used in Part A. 13. If overtitration occurs, add a measured amount of vinegar to the flask (using the pipet) until the solution is colorless. This time, reach the end point carefully by titrating drop by drop with the NaOH solution. Observations and Data Part A Data Table Trial 1 Trial 2 Trial 3 Trial 4 HCl NaCl HCl NaCl HCl NaCl HCl NaCl Initial reading Final reading Volume used Part B Total volume: white vinegar = Total volume: NaOH solution = Calculations Part A For each trial, calculate the molarity of the NaOH solution using the relationship M M V a b V Trial 1 b a Trial 2 Trial 3 Trial 4

5 Part B To determine the molarity of the NaOH solution used, average the results calculated in Part A. Then use the relationship M a x V a = M b x V b to calculate the molarity of the white vinegar. The volumes of acid and base are those in Part B of Observations and Data. Conclusion and Questions 1. How reproducible were the results of your two trials? How did your results compare with those of your partner? 2. Define these terms: standard solution; titration; end point; volumetric analysis; gravimetric analysis. 3. If 30.0 ml of M KOH is needed to neutralize 10.0 ml of HCl of unknown concentration, what is the molarity of the HCl? 4. How many ml of M NaOH is needed to titrate 20.0 ml of M H 2 SO 4? Use a balanced equation for the neutralization reaction and explain your calculations. 5. Explain why people can use white vinegar in preparing foods and in cooking without danger to the skin or the internal organs.

6 Acid-Base Titrations Objective A vinegar solution of unknown concentration will be analyzed by the process of titration, using a standard sodium hydroxide solution. The sodium hydroxide solution to be used for the analysis will be prepared approximately and will then be standardized against a weighed sample of a known acidic salt. Introduction The technique of titration finds many applications, but is especially useful in the analysis of acidic and basic substances. Titration involves measuring the exact volume of a solution of known concentration that is required to react with a measured volume of a solution of unknown concentration, or with a weighed sample of unknown solid. A solution of accurately known concentration is called a standard solution. Typically, to be considered a standard solution, the concentration of the solute in the solution must be known to four significant figures. In many cases (especially with solid solutes) it is possible to prepare a standard solution by accurate weighing of the solute, followed by precise dilution to an exactly known volume in a volumetric flask. Such a standard is said to have been prepared determinately. One of the most common standard solutions used in analyses, however, cannot be prepared in this manner. Solutions of sodium hydroxide are commonly used in titration analyses of samples containing an acidic solute. Although sodium hydroxide is a solid, it is not possible to prepare standard sodium hydroxide solutions by weight. Solid sodium hydroxide is usually of questionable purity. Sodium hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and is also capable of reacting with the glass of the container in which it is provided. For these reasons, sodium hydroxide solutions are generally prepared to be approximately a given concentration. They are then standardized by titration of a weighed sample of a primary standard acidic substance. By measuring how many milliliters of the approximately prepared sodium hydroxide are necessary to react completely with a weighed sample of a known primary standard acidic substance, the concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution can be calculated. Once prepared, however, the concentration of a sodium hydroxide solution will change with time (for the same reasons outlined earlier). As a consequence, sodium hydroxide solutions must be used relatively quickly. In titration analyses, there must be some means of knowing when enough titrant has been added to react exactly and completely with the sample being titrated. In an acid-base titration analysis, there should be an abrupt change in ph when the reaction is complete. For example, if the sample being titrated is an acid, then the titrant to be used will be basic (probably sodium hydroxide). When one excess drop of titrant is added (beyond that needed to react with the acidic sample), the solution being titrated will suddenly become basic. There are various natural and synthetic dyes, called indicators that exist in different colored forms at different ph values. A suitable indicator can be chosen that will change color at a ph value consistent with the point at which the titration reaction is complete. The indicator to be used in this experiment is phenolphthalein, which is colorless in acidic solutions, but changes to a pink form at basic ph. Vinegar is a dilute solution of acetic acid, CH 3 COOH. Commercially, vinegar is most commonly prepared by the fermentation of apple cider; other vinegars, such as wine vinegar or fruit-flavored vinegars, may be prepared from other fruit juices. In order to be useful and effective in food preparation and other household uses, a vinegar solution should contain between 3-6% acetic acid by volume. Although instrumental methods are available, titration of random samples of vinegar taken from the production line is the most effective method of ensuring that the acetic acid level is within the correct range.

7 Safety Precautions Safety eyewear approved by your institution must be worn at all times while you are in the laboratory, whether or not you are working on an experiment. The primary standard acidic substance potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP) will be kept stored in an oven to keep moisture from adhering to the crystals. Use tongs or a towel to protect the hands when removing the KHP from the oven. KHP dust may be irritating to the skin and respiratory tract. Wash after use. Avoid stirring up the dust when weighing. Sodium hydroxide is extremely caustic, and sodium hydroxide dust is very irritating to the respiratory system. Do not handle the pellets of NaOH with the fingers. Wash hands after weighing the pellets. Work in a ventilated area and avoid breathing the NaOH dust. Use a rubber safety bulb when pipeting. Never pipet by mouth. Use a funnel when adding titrant to the buret, and place the top of the buret below eye level when filling. Apparatus/Reagents Required sodium hydroxide pellets phenolphthalein indicator solution unknown vinegar sample. potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP) (primary standard grade) 1-L glass or plastic bottle with stopper 5-mL pipet and safety bulb buret and clamp buret brush soap Record all data and observations directly on the report pages in link. A. Preparation of the Burets and pipet For precise quantitative work, volumetric glassware must be scrupulously clean. Water should run down the inside of burets and pipets in sheets and should not bead up anywhere on the interior of the glassware. Rinse the burets and the pipet with distilled water to see if they are clean. If the glassware is not clean, partially fill with a few milliliters of soap solution, and rotate the buret/pipet so that all surfaces come in contact with the soap. Rinse with tap water, followed by several portions of distilled water. If the burets are still not clean, they should be scrubbed with a buret. If the pipet cannot be cleaned, it should be exchanged. In the subsequent procedure, it is important that water from rinsing a pipet/buret does not contaminate the solutions to be used in the glassware. This rinse water would change the concentration of the glassware s contents. Before using a pipet/buret in the following procedures, rinse the pipet/buret with several small portions of the solution that is to be used in the pipet/buret. Discard the risings.

8 B. Preparation of the Sodium Hydroxide Solution Clean and rinse the 1-L bottle and stopper. Label the bottle Approx. 0.1M NaOH. Put about 500ml of distilled water into the bottle. Weigh out approximately 4 g (0.1 mol) of sodium hydroxide pellets (caution!) and transfer to the 1-L bottle using a powder (wide-stem) funnel. Stopper and shake the bottle to dissolve the sodium hydroxide. When the sodium hydroxide pellets have dissolved, add additional distilled water to the bottle until the water level is approximately 1 inch from the top. Stopper and shake thoroughly to mix. This sodium hydroxide solution is the titrant for the analyses to follow. Keep the bottle tightly stoppered when not actually in use (to avoid exposure of the NaOH to the air). Set up buret in the buret clamp. See Figure Rinse and fill the buret with the sodium hydroxide solution just prepared. B. Standardization of the Sodium Hydroxide Solution Clean and dry a small beaker. Take the beaker to the oven that contains the primary standard grade potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP). Using tongs or a towel to protect your hands, remove the bottle of KHP from the oven, and pour a few grams into the beaker. If you pour too much, do not return the KHP to the bottle. Return the bottle of KHP to the oven, and take the beaker containing KHP back to your lab bench. Cover the beaker with a watch glass. Allow the KHP to cool to room temperature. While the KHP is cooling, clean three 250-ml Erlenmeyer flasks with soap and water. Rinse the Erlenmeyer flasks with several small portions of distilled water. Label the Erlenmeyer flasks as 1,2, and 3. Figure 2. Set up for titration. The buret must be scrupulously clean, such that water runs down the interior walls in sheets and does not bead up anywhere. A funnel should be used when filling the buret, and the buret should be below eye level when the titrant is added to it. When the KHP has completely cooled, weigh three samples of KHP between 0.6 and 0.8 g, one for each of the Erlenmeyer flasks. Record the exact weight of each KHP sample at least to the nearest milligram, preferably to the nearest 0.1 mg (if an analytical balance is available). Be certain not to confuse the samples. At your lab bench, add 100 ml of water to KHP sample 1. Add 2-3 drops of phenolphthalein indicator solution. Swirl for several minutes to dissolve the KHP sample completely. Record the initial reading of the NaOH solution in the buret to the nearest 0.02 ml, remembering to read across the bottom of the curved solution surface (meniscus). Begin adding NaOH solution from the buret to the sample in the Erlenmeyer flask, swirling the flask constantly during the addition. (See Figure 2.) If your solution was prepared correctly, and if your KHP samples are of the correct size, the titration should require at least 20 ml of NaOH solution. As the NaOH solution enters the solution in the Erlenmeyer flask, streaks of red or pink will be visible. They will fade as the flask is swirled.

9 Figure 2. Titration technique. A right-handed person should titrate with the left hand, swirling the flask with the right hand. Titrate until one single drop causes a permanent pale pink color to appear. Eventually the red streaks will persist for a longer and longer period of time. This indicates the approach of the endpoint of the titration. Begin adding NaOH one drop at a time, with constant swirling, until one single drop of NaOH causes a permanent pale pink color that does not fade on swirling. Record the reading of the buret to the nearest 0.02 ml. Repeat the titration of the remaining two KHP samples. Record both initial and final readings of the buret to the nearest 0.02 ml. Given that the molar mass of potassium hydrogen phthalate is g, calculate the number of moles of KHP in samples 1, 2, and 3. Moles KHP = (mass of KHP, g) x 1 mol KHP g From the number of moles of KHP present in each sample, and from the volume of NaOH solution used to titrate the sample, calculate the concentration of NaOH in the titrant solution in moles per liter. The reaction between NaOH and KHP is of 1:1 stoichiometry. Thus, Moles NaOH = moles KHP at the endpoint of the titration. The molarity of the NaOH solution is then Molarity of NaOH = Moles of NaOH Liters of solution used for titration If your three values for the concentration differ by more than 1%, weigh out an additional sample of KHP and repeat the titration. Use the average concentration of the NaOH solution for subsequent calculations for the unknown.

10 D. Analysis of the Vinegar Solution Clean and dry a small beaker, and obtain ml of the unknown vinegar solution. Cover the vinegar solution with a watch glass to prevent evaporation. Record the code number of the sample. Clean three Erlenmeyer flasks, and label as samples 1, 2, and 3. Rinse the flasks with small portions of distilled water. Using the rubber safety bulb to provide suction, rinse the 5-mL pipet with small portions of the vinegar solution and discard the rinsings. Using the rubber safety bulb to provide suction, rinse the 5-mL pipet with small portions of the vinegar solution and discard the rinsings. Using the rubber safety bulb, pipet a 5-mL sample of the vinegar solution into each of the Erlenmeyer flasks. Add approximately 100 ml of distilled water to each flask, as well as 2-3 drops of phenolphthalein indictor solution. Refill the buret with the NaOH solution and record the initial reading of the buret to the nearest 0.02 ml. Titrate Sample 1 of vinegar in the same manner as in the standardization until one drop of NaOH causes the appearance of the pale pink color. Record the final reading of the buret to the nearest 0.02 ml. Repeat the titration for the other two vinegar samples. Based on the volume of vinegar sample taken, and on the volume and average concentration of NaOH titrant used, calculate the concentration of the vinegar solution in moles per liter. Moles NaOH = (volume of NaOH used in L) x (molarity of NaOH) Moles CH 3 COOH = moles NaOH from stoichiometry of reaction Molarity of CH 3 COOH = Moles of CH 3 COOH Volume of sample in liters Given that the molar mass of acetic acid is 60.0 g, and that the density of the vinegar solution is 1.01 g/ml, calculate the percent by weight of acetic acid in the vinegar solution

11 Pre-Laboratory Questions 1. Using a handbook, look up the formula and structure of potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP) used to standardize the solution of NaOH in this experiment. Calculate the molar mass of KHP. 2. Using your textbook or a chemical dictionary, write the definition of an indicator. 3. Suppose a sodium hydroxide solution were to be standardized against pure solid primary standard grade KHP. If g of KHP requires ml of the sodium hydroxide solution to reach a phenolphthalein endpoint, what is the molarity of the NaOH solution? Results/Observations Standardization of NaOH Titrant Sample 1 Sample 2 Sample 3 Mass of KHP taken Initial NaOH buret reading Final NaOH buret reading Volume NaOH used Moles KHP present Molarity of NaOH, M Average molarity of NaOH solution Analysis of Vinegar Solution Identification number of vinegar sample used Sample 1 Sample 2 Sample 3 Quantity of vinegar taken Initial NaOH buret reading Final NaOH buret reading Volume NaOH used Molarity of NaOH, M Average molarity of NaOH solution % by mass acetic acid present

12 Questions 1. Commercial vinegar is generally 5.0 +/ - 0.5% acetic acid by mass. Assuming this to be the true value for your unknown, by how much were you in error in your analysis? 2. Use a chemical encyclopedia to write the difference between the indicator endpoint for a titration and the equivalence point of the titration. 3. The true equivalence point in these titrations was at ph > 7. What is the ph range for the color change of phenolphthalein? Explain why phenolphthalein could be used for such titrations.
