Lab 11 Acid - Base Titrations Parts 1 And 2 Flashcards
What does HCL react with?
Reacts with NaOH in a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio
HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → H2O(l) + NaCl(aq)
What concentration is most commonly determined by conducting a titration
Analyte
What can be determined by using an acid-base indicator?
Equivalence point
Analyte
Is most commonly determined by conducting a titration
What does an acid-base indicator do?
Changes color rapidly as the unknown solution goes from acidic to basic
What is an equivalence point?
Is reached when the number of moles of standard added equals the number of moles unknown
What does KHP react with?
Reacts with NaOH in a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio
HC8H4O4−(aq) + OH−(aq) → C8H4O42−(aq) + H2O(l)
What is an endpoint?
Point at which the indicator changes color
What is titration
A standard of known concentration is added in a controlled manner to a specific volume of an unknown in order to determine the equivalence point
Hydrochloric acid (unknowns)
Corrosive to skin and mucous membranes
Can cause serious eye damage
What are the three primary standards for standardizing solutions of base?
High purity
Large formula weight
Water soluble
What is the critical aspect of a titration?
To select an indicator so that the endpoint and equivalence point occur simultaneously
Potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP)
Toxicity from ingestion
Sodium hydroxide 0.10 M
Corrosive to skin
Can cause serious eye damage
As always you must wear your goggles at all times
Phenolphthalein indicator
Flammable liquid
Acute toxicity from ingestion
