EXPERIMENT NO. : CARBOXYL GROUP

Aim : To determine the no. of carboxyl group (s.s) in the given substance of molecular eight.

Apparatus : !urette" pipette" conical flas#" bea#er" stand" etc. Chemi a! : Given substance" $a%& solution" 'henolphthalein indicator Pr" e#ure : PART$I (tandardi)ation of given al#ali $a%& solution. *.+ $ succinic acid may be prepared by accurately eigh +.,-. gm of the acid and dissolve it in /.* cc of distill ater in a measuring flas#. Titrate /. ml of given al#ali against above solution using 'henolphthalein as an indicator.0et the burette reading be 1y2 ml of *.+ $ succinic acid. PART$II 3eigh accurately about +.. gms of given substance. Dissolve in distilled ater in bea#er and transfer the content in /.* c.c measuring flas# and dilute to mar# ith ater. Titrate /. ml of this dilute solution against given $a%& using 'henolphthalein as an indicator. 0et burette reading be ! ml of $a%& solution. Resu!t : $umber of carboxyl group in given substance 4 555555555
