VOLUMETRIC ANALYSIS

You are provided with the following solutions: -

Solution AA prepared by diluting 100 Cm3 of 1M Hydrochloric Acid.

Solution BB is Sodium hydroxide

Phenolphthalein indicator

Procedures

Pipette 25 Cm3 of solution BB into a titration flask. Add two (2) drops of P.O.P indicator. Titrate
solution BB against solution AA from the current until a color change is observed. Note the
burette reading. Repeat the procedure to obtain three more readings. Record the results as shown
below.

a) Table of results
i) Burette readings

Titration Pilot 1 2 3
Final reading (cm3)
Initial reading (cm3)
Volume used (cm3)

ii) The volume of pipette used was ………………Cm3

iii) The color change at the end point was from …………. to ……………..
iv) …………… Cm3 of solution AA was required to neutralize ……………… of
solution BB.
b) Write a balanced chemical equation for the neutralization of sodium hydroxide by
hydrochloric acid.
c) Calculate the: -
i) Molarity of solution AA
ii) Concentration in mole/dm3 of solution BB
iii) Concentration in g/dm3 of solution BB
