    practical has shown that a control would be useful to compare the colours. However the other problem of the solution returning to a slight pink colour can be eliminated by waiting for this to occur, and when it does, titrate it further opening the burette very slightly, allowing acid to be added more slowly into the solution. Carrying out titrations is a skill that develops with practice, more repetitions will lead to improved results, both in accuracy and precision. Both methods are the most

  • Conductometric Titration Essay

    1513 Words  | 4 Pages

    It is highly beneficial to be able to calculate the concentration of a saturated solution. Indeed, knowledge of the concentration is required to calculate solute solubility and if precipitates will form when the solution is mixed with other reagents. This has many applications in industrial processes. For these reasons, this experiments aims to determine the concentration of a saturated barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)2) solution by conductometric titration and gravimetric analysis.

    this experiment uses potentially dangerous chemicals and acids there are many safety precautions we have to make sure we take:- 1. Always wear goggles at all times as the acid could enter the eye and cause damage. 2. Fill the burette on the floor. This is so the burette is not situated above your head, which could be dangerous dealing with acid. 3. To have a well ventilated room because Ammonium Hydroxide can burn the inside of your nose. 4. Never sniff the Ammonium hydroxide for the reason

    concentration of NaOH needed to be determined. By way of standardization, the actual concentration of NaOH was established, to account for the fact that the solid is not pure and for its tendency to react with carbon dioxide in the air. A 50 mL burette (±0.01 mL, Kimax) was rinsed thoroughly, twice with reverse osmosis water, and then twice with approximately 5 mL of ~0.25 M NaOH solution (Fisher Scientific, Certified ACS Pellets, S318-3).

  • The Formula of Succinic Acid

    2212 Words  | 5 Pages

    The Formula of Succinic Acid Succinic acid is a diprotic, which means it donates two protons per molecule. Succinic acid can be completely neutralised by sodium hydroxide. The indicator most suitable for this experiment is phenolphthalein, it is colourless in acids and pink in alkalises. The half way stage is about pH 9.3, this is when it will either change from colourless to a very pale pink or from pink to colourless. To determine the relative formula mass of succinic acid I am going to
