Table 15. Descriptive Statistics of the Desired Values (0.1165 M NaOH, 0.0910 M HCl)
After the experiment, we noticed during the processing of the data that the concentration of the
NaOH after standardization was done, is 0.2284 M at average (see Table 6.1). It’s far from the expected
concentration which is ~ 0.100 M. In order to analyze the data, there were two sets of calculation done. One
using the concentration of NaOH from the standardization, and one from computing the concentration
through the weight of the pellet used, which is 4.66g, and the concentration of NaOH computed from this is
0.1165 M (see Table 7). After all of the computations, the statistical analysis showed that the set of 0.2248
M NaOH and 0.1785 HCl (see Table 14), has the same descriptive statistics values as the set of 0.1165 M
NaOH and 0.0910 M HCl (see table 15). Table 14 showed the mean for the base mixture; % Wt for Na2Co3
as 1.8432%, %Wt for NaOH as 0.4235%, and for the white wine, %Tartaric acid is 1.2342%. Table 15 on
the other hand, showed the mean for the base mixture; %Wt of Na2CO3 as 0.9401%, %Wt for NaOH as
0.2160%, and % Tartaric acid as 0.6295%. The relative standard deviation for the two tables rendered the
same value, 21.60% RSD for %Wt of Na2CO3, 20.72%RSD for %Wt of NaOH, and 15.28% RSD for %Wt
of Tartaric acid. This shows that the two sets, the one with the higher concentration and the one with the
CONCLUSION
The experiment was carried out successfully. There were little mishaps but after going through the
data processing, they were straightened out and the data is clearer. After all of the computations, the
statistical analysis showed that the set of 0.2248 M NaOH and 0.1785 HCl (see Table 14), has the same
descriptive statistics values as the set of 0.1165 M NaOH and 0.0910 M HCl (see table 15). This shows that
the two sets have the same correct proportions and that there was a probable human error that happened
during the standardization of NaOH, that caused the incorrect volume recorded during the titration.
