    This document describes an experiment to determine the concentration of a sulphuric acid solution using volumetric analysis. The experiment involves titrating sulphuric acid with sodium hydroxide using methyl orange as an indicator. The average volume of sulphuric acid needed to neutralize 25 cm3 of sodium hydroxide solution was found to be 10.9 cm3. Calculations then determined the molar concentration of the sulphuric acid solution to be 1.15 mol/dm3 and the mass concentration to be 112.7 g/dm3. The experiment allowed the student to learn titration techniques and calculations to find solution concentrations.

    Title: Volumetric analysis

    Aim: To determine the concentration of a solution of sulphuric acid.

    Material/Apparatus:
    ● Conical flask
    ● A retort stand
    ● Pipette
    ● Burette
    ● Sodium hydroxide
    ● Methyl orange
    ● pH indicator
    ● Sulphuric acid
    ● Distilled water

    Procedure:
    1. The burette was rinsed with sulphuric acid and then filled with acid.
    2. Sodium hydroxide solution was used to rinse the pipette and 25 cm❑3 of the
    acid was poured into the conical flask.
    3. A few drops of methyl orange was added to the contents of the conical flask
    and swirled to ensure that it was well mixed.
    4. The initial burette reading was then taken.
    5. The sulphuric acid was added slowly to the conical flask and swirled
    repetitively until the yellow colour of the contents in the conical flask
    turned orange.
    6. After the colour change, the final burette reading was taken and the volume
    of the sulphuric acid was calculated.
    7. The conical flask was emptied and rinsed with distilled water.
    8. This experiment was repeated twice more until three volumes of the acid
    were recorded.
    9. The recorded volumes of the acid were averaged and the results is the
    volume necessary to neutralize 25 cm❑3of sodium hydroxide.

    The volume of sulphuric acid needed to neutralize 25 cm❑3of sodium hydroxide


    solution is 10.9cm❑3.

    2. Calculate the number of moles of sodium hydroxide used in the


    titration. [relative atomic masses: H=1, Na=23, O=16]
    NaOH= 25 cm❑3
    25 ÷ 1000 = 0.025
    0.025 mol is the number of moles of NaOH used in the titration.
    3. Write a balanced equation.
    H2SO4 + 2NaOH ⇒ Na2SO4 + 2H2O

    4. Determine the number of moles of sulphuric acid used in the titration.


    H2SO4 + 2NaOH ⇒ Na2SO4 + 2H2O
    0.025 = 2

    X=1
    1:2
    0.025 ÷ 2 = 0.0125
    0.0125 mol is the number of moles of sulphuric acid used in the titration.

    5. Determine the molar concentration of sulphuric acid.


    H2SO4 = 10.9 cm3
    H2SO4 = 0.0109dm3
    0.0125 ÷ 1.0109 = 1.15
    1.15 mol dm-3 is the molar concentration of sulphuric acid.

    6. Determine the mass concentration of sulphuric acid. [relative atomic


    masses : H=1, O=16, S= 32]
    Mr(H2SO4) = 98
    1.15 х 98 = 112.7
    112.7 g dm-3 is the mass concentration of sulphuric acid.

    Conclusion:
    It can be concluded that the experiment was successful as the volume of sulphuric
    acid needed to neutralize the sodium hydroxide solution (10.9cm3) was found. It
    can also be concluded that the mass concentration was 112.7g dm-3 and the molar
    concentration of sulphuric acid was 1.15 mol dm-3.

    Reflection:
    During this experiment I learnt how to find the volume of an acid which needed to
    neutralize another acid, the mass concentration, the molar mass and the number of
    moles. The use of this experiment can be used in medicine. Pharmacists use
    titration to get the proper mix when compounding medicines.
