DISCUSSION
This experiment was conducted based on three purposes. Firstly, to introduce some important types of electrodes in electrochemical and environmental studies. Secondly, to show how to use glass electrodes in the determination of ionization constants of weak poly acid through titration of pH. Then, to study the reaction of hydrolysis using glass electrodes. For this experiment, there were two parts which were determination of ionization constants of phosphoric acid in part A and determination of degree and constant of hydrolysis of aniline hydrochloride in part B.
To make the electrochemical cell, there were a few types of electrode which used. There were, gas electrode, insoluble salt-metal electrode, metal electrode and membrane electrode. Basically, …show more content…

The aniline hydrochloride was given in the solid form. So, the mass of aniline hydrochloride to prepare 0.1 M of aniline hydrochloride need to be calculated. The only information given was the molar mass of the aniline hydrochloride. The mole of the of the aniline hydrochloride was calculated by using formula,no.of mole=(molarity x volume)/1000. The mole of aniline hydrochloride calculated is 0.01 mol. Then, by using o.of mole=mass/(molar mass) , the mass obtained is 1.296 g. 1.296 g of aniline hydrochloride was put into the 100 ml volumetric flask and distilled water was filled to the calibration mark. To determine the volume of aniline hydrochloride needed to be dissolved to prepare the solution as instructed, the formula of M1V1 = M2V2 . M1 and V1 are the molarity and volume of the concentrated stock solution while M2 and V2 are the molarity and volume of the diluted solution which need to be prepared. For each of the concentration which need to be prepared, the calculated volume of aniline hydrochloride was put into the volumetric flask and distilled water was filled to the calibration
