1. Firstly, a burette was taken and rinsed with distilled water. Then it was rinsed using the provided NaOH solution. 2. The burette was filled with the NaOH solution. 3. Next, 0.6gram of oxalic acid dehydrate was taken and weight. It is then added to a 125ml Erlenmeyer flask. 4. About 25ml of distilled water was added. Then 2-3 drops of phenolphthalein indicator solution were put in. It was swirl to dissolved the solid. 5. The initial volume of NaOH solution in the burette was noted. 6. The oxalic acid dehydrate solution was titrated using NaOH solution until light pink color can be seen. (does not disappear when the solution was mixed). 7. The final volume of NaOH solution in the burette was noted. 8. The molarity of NaOH solution was calculated. 9. …show more content…
The above process was repeated three times. 10. The average results were recorded and calculated. B) Analysis of ibuprofen 1. 50 ml of glycerol and 50 ml of distilled water was added inside an Erlenmeyer flask. It was heated to 60 Celsius. NaOH solution was added gradually drop by drop until rose color was observed. 2. One tablet (ibuprofen) was crushed using mortar and pestle. It is then put into the flask. The content was stirred using a glass stirring rod. 3. 1-2 droplets of phenolphthalein indicator were put in. It was titrated until red color can be observed. 4. The steps above were repeated twice and the result was
recorded.

Above in table 4.1 the results are shown. Test tube 2 was the only tube that had a change in color. The reason that test tube 2 was the only one that changed in color was because a reaction that was produced by catechol oxidase. Tube 2 was the only tube that had potato extract and catechol this is why the reaction occurred. The potato extract and catechol was not present at the same time in the other tubes and that is the reason they had no change.
The solution was heated in order to reach better reaction rates, since the reaction occurs slowly at room temperature. Unlike many other titrations no indicator is necessary to tell the experimenter when the endpoint of the reaction is. In this case, the experimenter knows when all the oxalate has been consumed because the excess of permanganate will show up as a pink color. Thus, the permanganate ion acts as an indicator itself. The reaction produces its own catalyst in the form of Mn2+ that promotes oxidation. The sulfuric acid added to the titration flask acts as a proton donor for the solution readily giving up protons. Since the oxalic acid is not a strong acid and does not dissociate well, but is still needed in the reaction to form carbon dioxide, the addition of a strong acid, sulfuric acid, supplies the protons needed for the reaction.
The Solution inside the burette was unveiled slowly and mixed together with the Acid “A”. The flask was swirled continuously to ensure the Sodium Hydroxide is thoroughly mixed.
However, there is no color change at end point of these reactions, so an indicator had to be added into the solutions to indicate the end point. An indicator is a chemical which is used to indicate the presence of the another substance in the solution; it changes colors when the ions H+ are added or removed by dissociation reaction. In this experiment, phenolphthalein was used as an indicator to indicate the presence of base in a solution by changing the color of the solution from colorless into pink. When the concentration of H+ is low, the solution becomes pink, and when the concentration of ions H+ is high, it becomes clear. The equivalent point is determined when there is a color change from colorless into light pink, and it is also an approximation of the end point. The concentrations were calculated by the equation M1V1 = M2V2, which means that the moles number of the base must equal to the moles number of an acid. The mole ratio in these reactions are 1:1 that means the moles’ number of the first reactant is equal to the moles’ number of the second one at the end
In acid-base titration solution without a known molarity is placed in an Erlenmeyer after it’s volume is measured. An indicator is added to the solution most of the time it is phenolphthalein. The solution with a known concentration is placed in burette with a tap in the end. By opening the tap slightly solution in the burette is poured in to the solution in Erlenmeyer drop by drop. After a while the solution in Erlenmeyer forms a color change. This is the turning point for the solution. At the turning point by the volume consumed in burette the molarity of the other solution can be

Place 3ml of solution 1 intro a test tube. Heat it to boiling in a water bath. Allow it to cool and then add 3ml of H2O2 to the test tube. Note the result and record it.
In a 100ml beaker place 50mls of water, measure the temperature of the water and record this initial temperature onto a table. Set the timer and add one teaspoon of Ammonium Nitrate to the water, stir this continuously until the Ammonium Nitrate has dissolved.
The experiment used Potassium permanganate (KMnO4), a purple substance; Potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7), a yellow substance; and Methylene Blue, a blue substance. These substances have molecular weights, 158 g/mole, 294 g/mole and 374 g/mole. A petri dish containing agar-water gel with three wells was obtained as shown in Figure 1. Each well was labelled as potassium permanganate, potassium dichromate and methylene blue. One drop of every prepared substance was carefully placed into its respective wells in the agar-water gel using a dropper. The petri dish was immediately covered to avoid the possible effects of other foreign factors. The substances, each having specific colors, spread in the agar-water gel as shown in
An acid-base indicator is a substance that undergoes a distinct colour change at or near the equivalence point. The point in the titration at which the colour change occurs is called as end point. Obviously, the titration will be accurate only if the end point and the equivalence point coincide fairly closely. For this reason, an acid-base indicator used in this acid-base titration must be selected carefully in order to obtain an accurate result. Thus, the acid-base indicator used in this experiment is the phenolphthalein. Besides, phenolphthalein is also a suitable indicator for titration between a strong base and a weak acid. Phenolphthalein is colourless in an acid solution but pink in base solution. Phenolphthalein was added into both original oxalic acid (C2H2O4) and acetic acid (CH3COO) solution before the acid-base titration was carried out. Phenolphthalein is a weak acid and is represent as Hln in the following chemical

After that we inserted the tips of the syringes to the beaker of solution that we had and drew up 8mL into each syringes, flipping the syringes so that the tip is upward, we depressed the plungers to remove any air in the syringes without compressing the leaf disks.
