Aim To find the end point in the titration of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide solution
using an acid-base indicator

[ K1PP1(i) - Able to write the aim correctly]

Materials 0.1 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid, 0.1 mol dm-3 sodium hydroxide solution, phenolphthalein

Apparatus Burette, 25 cm3 pipette, pipette filler, retort stand and clamp, white tile, 250 cm3 conical
flask

[ K1PP1(iii) - Able to list all the materials and apparatus correctly]

Procedure 1. 25 cm3 of sodium hydroxide solution is drawn up by using a pipette.

2. The sodium hydroxide solution is transferred into a conical flask.
3. Two or three drops of phenolphthalein are added to the conical flask.
4. A burette is filled with hydrochloric acid.
5. Initial burette reading is recorded.
6. Hydrochloric acid is added drop by drop into the alkali solution.
7. The contents of the flask is swirled.
8. Hydrochloric acid is added continuously until the indicator changes colour.
9. Final burette reading is recorded.

[ K1PP1(iv) - Able to write the procedure correctly]

Data Titration set 1 2 3

Final burette reading/ cm3

Initial burette reading/ cm3

Volume of hydrochloric acid needed/ cm3

[ K1PP1(v) - Able to use a table to collect data ]

 [ K3PP1 - Able to construct a table with rows and columns consists of headings and
units correctly ]

[ K3PP2 - Able to write the burette readings with 2 decimal places of set 1 correctly]

[ K3PP3 - Able to write the burette readings of all the sets correctly]

Communication HCl + NaOH NaCl + H2O

[K4PP1- Able to write the chemical equations for the reactions correctly]

Interpreting Observation : The colour of solution change from pink to colourless.

Data Inference : The hydroxide ions are neutralise by hydrogen ions

Or

Average volume of hydrochloric acid needed to neutralise 25.0 cm3 of sodium

hydroxide solution Va = ................

[K4PP2- Able to state a observation and inference correctly

Or
Able to determine the average volume of hydrochloric acid for the
titration correctly]

Conclusion Va is needed in the titration for the indicator to change colour.

[K4PP3- Able to state the volume of hydrochloric acid for the titration correctly ]
