Experiment No. 7
Acid-Base Titrations: Analysis of Antacid Tablets
I. Objectives
a. To learn the technique of acid-base titrations
b. To compare the efficiency of commercially available antacids by looking at their wt. of
HCl/wt. of antacid values.
II. Material and Reagents
A. Materials B. Reagents
250 mL Erlenmeyer flask Standard 0.1 M HCl solution
Base burette Standard 0.1 M NaOH solution
Acid burette antacid tablets (preferably white)
Medicine dropper Phenolphthalein indicator
Mortar and pestle
Analytical balance
100 mL graduated cylinder
III. Procedure

Crush two antacid
tablets in a mortar and
pestle.
Get the actual weight of
the crushed antacid and
transfer them in two
separate 250 mL
Erlenmeyer flasks.
Add 50.0 mL of 0.1 M
HCl to the antacid and
let it dissolve as much as
possible.
Add 2 drops of
phenolphthalein
indicator into the
mixture and mix
thoroughly.
Titrate the antacid
mixture with 0.1 M of
NaOH until the soultion
turns to a faint pink
color.
Do at least 2 trial.


wt. of HCl = MW
HCL
[(volume in liter
HCl
) (molarity HCl) - (volume in liter
NaOH
) (molarity
NaOH
)]






Calculate the weight of HCl
that reacted with the lg of
antacid tablet.
