Pre-laboratory work
1. Which ions have extraordinarily high molar conductivity? Explain your answers.
2. What is the relation between the conductivity of a solution and the electric current passing this
particular cell?
3. Draw a circuit diagram for conductometric titration.
Theory
Give theory for this experiment.
F.6/7 Chem.Prac/AB4_condTitration/p.1(3)
Procedure
A. Titration of sodium hydroxide solution against hydrochloric acid.
1. Pipette 10.00 cm3 hydrochloric acid of unknown concentration into a 250 cm3 beaker and
add approximately 100 cm3 of distilled water.
2. Set up the circuit as shown in the bottom part on page one. Read the current of the cell from
the ammeter.
3. Fill a burette with 0.1 M standard sodium hydroxide solution and run 2.0 cm3 of this
solution into the acid. Mix thoroughly and read the current of the cell from the ammeter.
4. Continuous adding 2.0 cm3 portions of alkali and determining the current of the cell
containing the solution until a total of 20 cm3 of alkali has been added.
D. Titration of an aqueous solution of iron(III) ions against an aqueous solution of the disodium
salt of ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA)
1. Pipette 10.0 cm3 of iron(III) chloride solution of unknown concentrationvinto a 250 cm3
beaker and add approximately 100 cm3 of distilled water.
2. Determine the current of the cell, containing the solution, and then add 2.0 cm3 portions of
0.05 M standard EDTA solution proceeding as in previous experiments.
Procedure B
Tabulate your data and draw a graph in which electric current (in mA or arbitrary unit) is
plotted against volume of alkali added (in unit of cm3)
F.6/7 Chem.Prac/AB4_condTitration/p.2(3)
Procedure C:
Tabulate your data and draw a graph in which electric current (in mA or arbitrary unit) is
plotted against volume of alkali added (in unit of cm3)
Procedure D:
Tabulate your data and draw a graph in which electric current (in mA or arbitrary unit) is
plotted against volume of alkali added (in unit of cm 3 )
Determine the end-points in the above graphs and hence calculate the molarity of the solutions.
