Introduction
Titration is the slow addition of one solution of a known concentration (called a titrant) to a known volume of another solution of
unknown concentration until the reaction reaches neutralization, which is often indicated by a color change. The solution called the
titrant must satisfy the necessary requirements to be a primary or secondary standard. In a broad sense, titration is a technique to
determine the concentration of an unknown solution.

Objective
This activity aims to enable the learners to:
1. Apply laboratory safety protocols and procedure.
2. Demonstrate proper titration techniques.
3. Prepare a hydrochloric acid solution and determine its exact concentration for use as standard solution in titrimetric analysis.
4. Prepare a sodium hydroxide solution and determine its exact concentration for use as standard solution in titrimetric analysis.

Materials:
Acidimetry:

1. Unknown HCl Solution

2. Anhydrous Sodium Carbonate (Primary Standard)
3. Methyl Orange Indicator
4. Distilled Water
5. Teflon Valve Burette (Red – Lined)
6. Analytical balance
7. Iron stand & Clamp
8. Butterfly clamp

Alkalimetry:
1. Unknown NaOH Solution
2. Phenolphthalein
3. Distilled Water
4. Teflon Valve Burette (Red – Lined)
5. Teflon Valve Burette (Blue– Lined)
6. Iron stand & Clamp
7. Butterfly clamp

Instructions:

Preparation of Burette for Titration

1. Wash the burette with solution of dishwashing liquid, allow the soap solution to reach up to the tip of the burette.
2. Using a beaker, rinse the burette thoroughly with tap water followed by distilled water.
3. Rinse the burette with a small amount of the standard solution. Be sure to drain the solution through the tip of the burette.
Repeat this 3rd step twice.
4. Secure the burette in the burette clamp then attach it to the iron stand.
5. Close the pinchcock of the burette and introduce the standard NaOH/HCl solution filling it up to more than the 50-mL
mark.
6. Run down the solution above a clean beaker and ensure that no air space is in the burette especially inside its tip.
7. Use the collected solution to fill the burette up to the 50-mL mark. Record the initial volume on the burette to 2 decimal
places. (Note: look for the lower meniscus).

Acidimetry (ODD GROUPS):

1. Weigh accurately 0.1 to 0.2 g of anhydrous sodium carbonate (primary standard) in a tared Erlenmeyer flask.
2. Dissolve the sodium carbonate in 80 mL of dist. H2O and shake until solution is complete
clear colorless solution.
3. Add 3 drops of methyl orange and observe the change of color to yellow.
4. Titrate with HCl to a salmon or peach color endpoint.
5. Compute for the Molarity of HCl

Alkalimetry (EVEN GROUPS):

1. Run down 20.0 mL of standard HCl solution (2o standard) from the Geissler Burette (red lined burette) to the Erlenmeyer
flask.
2. Add 40 mL of dist. Water.
3. Add 2 drops of phenolphthalein.
4. Titrate with NaOH solution using a Mohr burette (blue lined burette) to a light pink color endpoint.
5. Compute for the Molarity of NaOH

General Reminders:

o Document all initial and final appearances using a plain background.

o NEVER wear your laboratory gowns outside laboratory premises.
o Make sure to clean and dry all glass wares used
