Lab 9: Acids and Bases
Purpose: The purpose of the lab is to calculate the concentration of a known acid. Using the data collected from this lab, you will calculate the molarity of the acid.

Introduction: In chemistry, concentration is the amount of a substance in a given volume of space. Concentration is also the ratio of solute in a solution to either solvent or total …show more content…

An indicator is something that changes color at a specific pH value or in the presence of a particular substance and can be used to monitor acidity or the progress of a reaction.
You will know you are done with your Titration when the solution completely is indicated a certain color for a long period of time. The amount of OH and H3O at this point will be equal at pH 7.
The mathematical formula used for titration calculations is Macid x Vacid = Mbase x Vbase

Procedure:
During preparation for this lab, measure out 2 to 3 mL of NaOH. Obtain a waste beaker and place it under the burette and make sure the stopcock is closed. Measure out 20 mL of Acetic Acid and pour it into an Erlenmeyer Flask. Add 2 drops of a chemical reaction indicator, Phenolphthalein, to the Acetic Acid. Remove the waste beaker from under the burette and replace it with the Erlenmeyer Flask. From the NaOH in the Burette, add it to the acid milliliter by milliliter. The solution should gradually turn pink. When the solution starts to stay a pink color for a longer period of time, decrease the rate of the dropping of NaOH. Be sure not to overshoot the amount of NaOH. Record the final volume of the NaOH when the solution turns completely pink. Before clean up, put the waste beaker under the burette and drain the remaining NaOH from the burette. Dump the waste into a bigger waste beaker your instructor provides. Pour the Acetic Acid down the drain. Repeat the procedure one more time, and if there is more time, repeat a 3rd time. Repeat clean up
