Practical Revision

1. The document describes a quantitative analysis experiment to determine the concentration of limewater by titrating it with hydrochloric acid of a known concentration. 2. Key steps include diluting the hydrochloric acid, performing rough and accurate titrations of limewater with the acid using an indicator, and calculating the concentration of calcium hydroxide in the limewater from the titration results. 3. Calculations are shown to determine the moles of reactants and products, and the concentration and mass of calcium hydroxide in 1 dm3 of the limewater.

Quantitative Analysis

 ead through the whole method before starting any practical work. Where appropriate, prepare a table
R
for your results in the space provided.

Show your working and appropriate significant figures in the final answer to each step of your calculations.

1 Limewater is a saturated solution of calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2, in water. In this experiment you
will determine the concentration of limewater by titration with hydrochloric acid.

FB 1 is limewater.
FB 2 is 0.500 mol dm–3 hydrochloric acid, HCl.
bromophenol blue indicator

(a) Method

Dilution of FB 2


●  ipette 25.0 cm3 of FB 2 into the 250 cm3 volumetric flask.


P
● Make the solution up to the mark using distilled water.
● Shake the solution in the volumetric flask thoroughly.
● This solution of hydrochloric acid is FB 3. Label the volumetric flask FB 3.
● Rinse the pipette thoroughly.

Titration


● Fill the burette with FB 3.


●  ipette 25.0 cm3 of FB 1 into a conical flask.
P
● Add a few drops of bromophenol blue.
● Perform a rough titration and record your burette readings in the space below.

 The rough titre is .............................. cm3.

●  arry out as many accurate titrations as you think necessary to obtain consistent results.
C
● Make sure any recorded results show the precision of your practical work.
I ● Record in a suitable form below all of your burette readings and the volume of FB 3 added
II in each accurate titration.
