Objective(s) - To determine the percentage of sodium hydrogen carbonate, 𝑁𝑎𝐻𝐶𝑂3in baking soda sample.
-To acquire the correct techniques of titration
Theory Quantitative analysis have many applications in everyday life for example, to determine the
amount of acid in the vinegar, alcohol in wine or carbon dioxide in soft drinks.
Titration also can be used to determine the percentage of the content in any sample of a
solution such as baking soda solution.
Hydrochloric acid (HCI) is used as the standard solution while methyl orange is use as the
indicator. At the end point, methyl orange will change from yellow to red.
The acid- carbonate reaction is
𝑁𝑎𝐻𝐶𝑂3 (𝑎𝑞) + 𝐻𝐶𝐼 (𝑎𝑞) → 𝑁𝑎𝐶𝐼(𝑎𝑞) + 𝐻2𝑂(𝐼) + 𝐶𝑂2(𝑔)
The reaction can be used to determine the amount of acid that reacts with a known amount of
carbonate.The end point is determined using a suitable indicator.
11.90+11.90+11.90
Average volume of HCl =
3
= 11.85 ml
Calculation 1. Calculate the number of mole of HCl needed to react with 25 mL of baking soda solution.
mole of HCL = MV
−3
= 0.1 (11.85 x 10 )
−3
= 1.185 x 10 mol HCI
2. The active constituent of baking soda is sodium hydrogen carbonate NaHCO3. Write the
equation of the reaction between NaHCO3 and HCl.
𝑁𝑎𝐻𝐶𝑂3 + 𝐻𝐶𝐼 → 𝑁𝑎𝐶𝐼 + 𝐶𝑂2 + 𝐻20
from equation,
−3
= 1.185 x 10 mol 𝑁𝑎𝐻𝐶𝑂3
−2
= 1.185 x 10 mol
= 0.9954 g
0.9954 𝑔
x 100%
