LAB

EXPERIMENT 1

AIM; To Determine the percentage composition of sodium hydroxide in the

given mixture of sodium hydroxide and sodium chloride

EXPERIMENT. 1

AIM: To determine the percentage composition of a given mixture of NaCl and

NaOH, 10 g of which is dissolved per liter of the solution.

CHEMICALS REQUIRED: 0.1 N HCl solution, phenolphthalein solution.

APPARATUS: Burette, Pipette, beakers, titration flask, stand.

THEORY: For the titration of a solution of NaOH and NaCl the other solution
needed is HCl solution. NaOH will react with acid solution whereas NaC1 will
remain as such.

NaOH + HC1 → NaCl + H2O

The mixture solution and the acid solution will be titrated and in this way we
can determine the normality of NaOH and hence its strength. By subtracting the
strength of NaOH from the total strength of solution we can find out the
strength of NaCl and hence find percentage composition.

END POINT: Pink to colourless

PROCEDURE:
1. Rinse the burette with the given HCl solution.
2. Take HCl in the burette and note initial reading.
3. Pipette out 10ml of unknown solution in the titration flask.
4. Add a drop of phenolphthalein to the solution.
5. Run the acid solution into the mixture from the burette till the solution
changes from pink to colourless.
6. Repeat to get three concordant readings.

OBSERVATIONS:

Normality of the HCl solution = 0.1 N

Volume of mixture taken for each titration = 10 mL

CALCULATIONS:

Acid Mixture
N1V1 = N2V2

1/10 x V1 = N2 x 10
N2 = V1/100

Strength = Normality x Eq. Wt. = V1/100 x 40 = y g/L

(Eq. wt. of NaOH =40g)

The amount of NaOH in the mixture is y g/L

Amount of NaC1 in the mixture = (10-y) g/L = z g/l

Now percentage of NaOH = Y/10 x 100%

And percentage of NaC1 = z/10 x 100%

RESULT: The percentage of NaOH present in the given mixture = ……….

and the percentage of NaCl present in the given mixture = ……………

PRECAUTIONS:
1. Wash the apparatus first with water and then detergent followed by
plenty of water.
2. Rinse the burette and pipette with the respective solutions to be taken
in.
3. Do not rinse the conical flask with the solution to be taken in it.
