Erlenmeyer flasks base burette 4-50 mL graduated cylinder iron stand 3—emply plastic botlas with screw cap —_—_burette clamp Materials: 1 stick cigarette distiled water 0.025 N sodium hydroxide phenolphthalein Theory: A cigarette is a small cylinder of finely cut tobacco leaves rolled in thin paper for smoking. The Cigarette is ignited at one end causing the cigarette to smolder allowing smoke to be inhaled {rom the other end which is held in or fo the mouth. In some cases, a cigarette holder is used, Cigarette smoking emits air pollutants 10 times greater than diesel exhaust and badly affects human healt by inhaling directly or indirectly. More than four thousand compounds are present in a cigarette smoke and are active, toxic, ‘mutagenic and carcinogenic, Out of these components, 43 of it are known carcinogens but the ‘most abundant ones are tar, nicotine, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide. Procedure: Preparing the sample Collect 3 samples of cigarette smoke in 3 diferent plastic bottles for about § minutes. Close the plastic bottles immediately 1 2 3. Add 50 mL distled water to each sample containing cigarette smoke and close immediately 4, Shake each sample for 3 minutes. 5. Transfer to 250 ml Erlenmeyer flask. 6. Add 2 drops of phenolphthalein to each sample. Titration 7. Prepare the tiation set-up. 8. Rinse the base burette with portions of 0.025 N sodium hydroxide solution, 8. Fill the burette with the sodium hydroxide solution (filing the ties). Remove air bubbles and hhanging drops, 10. Take the intial reading of the volume of sogium hydroxide solution in the burette. ‘1. Titrate the sample slowly with 0.025 N NaOH until the end point is reached. The end point is reached when the coloriess solution turns to the faintest shade of pink on a white background. NOTE: During titration, be especially careful that each drop is fully mixed into the sample before adding the next drop. After adding each drop of the titrant, swirl the Erlenmeyer flask containing the sample. 12, Calculate the concentration of NO in terms of mgiL of HNOz and the concentration of CO in terms of mg/L of HsCOs, Sen gma EF Nacia * Vacid = Noase * Voase 1000 me, ‘oncentaion of HNOsia m/l. = Mino, ola mss of HNO) (= 1000 me cenentton fH, CO,in mL = Myc malas o HCO) 5) [Netume | Normality | Volume malty [Motar Mas HNOzfor NO cial chai [aati [apna] © at 1a [oud [500 rr wy j Concewaboin mat |voune roy nicoslorcor Foie enowe Computations: Show your complete hand-wniten solutions. pats, vats vay ta +166) 1 (o.036N)(0.) nye CBG) a 2 eh oN) Tar saea) THM T cage ee HON 2s.
