    unknown concentration. An example could be, a given volume of a solution of unknown acidity may be titrated with a base of known concentration until complete neutralization has occurred. This point is called the equivalence point and is generally determined by observing a color change in an added indicator such as phenolphthalein. From the volume and concentration of added base and the volume of acid solution, the unknown concentration of the solution before titration can be determined. Titrations

    department on monthly bases, since they had a variation of products and quality products. The reason why they did this stands to the point that the company produced products in two seasons, fall and spring. The fall products had a cost of $100 dollar per unit because of the more delicate product that required higher material cost, whereas the spring products had a cost of $60 dollars per unit as they needed less costly material. All in, these clarify the fact that they used monthly bases budget. In reasoning

  • Chemistry: Acids and Base Theories

    671 Words  | 2 Pages

    INTRODUCTION Acids and bases always challenged me throughout the years of learning them so when I learned I am going to face this topic again I thought it will be the best idea to a experiment for learning better therefore my aim for this project was learning the fundamentals of this topic. Acids and bases are really important in functioning cell. Majority of them are harmful and they destroy tissues by dissolving protein. For example, sulfuric acid is a strong acid and it has ability to hold the

  • Analysis Of Volumetric Analysis On Vinegar

    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

  • The Importance Of Acids And Bases

    861 Words  | 2 Pages

    INTRODUCTION We encounter acids and bases on our daily lives. Acids are substances that have a pH of less than 7. On the other hand, bases have pH of greater than 7. They both react to each other to form salt. Acids and bases also exhibit some characteristics like acids are sour and bases are bitter in taste. Acids are also rough in texture while bases are slippery. But you can’t just touch or taste acids and bases as some strong acids and strong bases are dangerous. They contain chemicals that are

  • Charcoal Filter In A Filter

    934 Words  | 2 Pages

    The scientific question that was investigated in this experiment is: Does the material used in a filter affect the amount of salt that passes through a filter? The hypothesis was that if the saltwater was run through the different materials listed, then the charcoal filter would filter the most salt out of the water. The independent variable in this experiment is the type of material used in the filter and the dependent variable is the amount of salt left in the filtered water. Some control variables

    Acid Base Reactions Acid An acid is a substance which donates proton in water solution. They turn litmus red and form salts when they react with bases.They have PH less than 7. Examples: Nitric acid Nitrous acid Sulphuric acid Base A substance which accepts proton in water solution is called base. Bases turn litmus red and form salts when react with acids. They have PH greater than 7. Examples: Sodium Hydroxide Sodium bicarbonate Magnecium hydroxide Acid Base Reaction A chemical reaction that happens

    carbonate was weighed accurately and dissolved in distilled water in a 250 mL volumetric flask. The solution was then made up to the mark with distilled water and mixed thoroughly. Titration Procedure A burette was filled with the standard sodium carbonate solution. Using a pipette, a measured volume of hydrochloric acid was transferred into a conical flask. A few drops of methyl orange indicator were added to the hydrochloric acid solution. The burette was then slowly titrated with the sodium carbonate
