Title of Lab: Titration of Hydrochloric Acid with Sodium Hydroxide

Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to determine the concentration of a hydrochloric

acid solution using acid‐base titration. This lab report shows the result and the analysis
of the experiment of the titration of hydrochloric acid (HCl) with sodium hydroxide
(NaOH).

Materials: volumetric pipette, beaker, buret, funnel, goggles, sodium hydroxide,

hydrochloric acid, Erlenmeyer ask (labeled acid), phenolphthalein, pipette

Clean the buret by pouring 5 mL of NaOH base into buret, open the stopcock and let it
drain into the waste beaker.

Pour NaOH into buret to reach 0.00mL

Record initial volume of buret

Draw up 25mL of HCl into the volumetric pipette

Put the 25mL into ask of hydrochloric acid

Put 2-3 drops of phenolphthalein into the ask with the acid

Put the ask under the buret and open the stopcock

Take turns swirling the ask around

Once you start to see pink, turn it o and see if it stays pink

If it does not stay pink, repeat the step above (slowly) until it remains pink

Record nal buret reading

Record data collection

Observations: It took only a few times before the solution stayed pink. It was a little
darker than light pink. The darker the color, the We lost 23.8mL from the initial volume
of 50mL. Titration - method or process of determining the concentration of a dissolved
substance in terms of the smallest amount of reagent of known concentration required
to bring about a given e ect in reaction with a known volume of the test solution. To

compounds called acid-base indicators to tell us when a reaction is complete.

Conclusion: I learned a lot in this lab. I learned what titration is and how to use a buret.
When the color of the solution begin to change color and the new color persists for at
least 30 seconds, this means the solution reaches the endpoint. For phenolphthalein,
the color will change to light pink color. 23.8mL of NaOH was needed to neutralize the
reaction. The experiment was a success because the molarity of the HCl was found.
