Laboratory Report: Acid-Base Titration


Acid-Base Titration
Introduction:
Acid-base titration is a quantitative chemical analysis method used to
determine the concentration of a dissolved substance, usually an acid
or a base. In this experiment, hydrochloric acid (HCl) is titrated using a
sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution. By carefully adding the titrant
(NaOH) to the analyte (HCl) until the endpoint is reached (indicated by a
color change of phenolphthalein), the concentration of the acid can be
calculated using stoichiometric calculations. This technique is
fundamental in laboratory settings and industrial applications where
precise concentrations of solutions are needed.

Objective:
The objective of this experiment is to determine the concentration of
hydrochloric acid (HCl) using sodium hydroxide (NaOH) as the titrant
and phenolphthalein as the indicator.

Materials and Chemicals:


Materials:
Burette, Erlenmeyer flask, Volumetric pipette, Pipette bulb, Funnel.
Chemicals:
Hydrochloric acid (HCl) (Molarity unknown)
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) (0.1 M)
Indicator: Phenolphthalein
Distilled water
Data and Observations:
Volumes of NaOH used in trials:
 Trial 1: 24.3 mL
 Trial 2: 24.1 mL
 Trial 3: 24.2 mL
Average volume of NaOH used: 24.2 mL

Calculations:
Write the balanced chemical reaction:
HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq) → NaCl (aq) + H₂O (l)
Use the titration formula to determine the concentration of HCl
(denoted as C_A):
𝐶𝐴 × 𝑉𝐴 = 𝐶𝐵 × 𝑉𝐵
(𝐶𝐵 × 𝑉𝐵)
𝐶𝐴 =
𝑉𝐴
(0.1𝑀 × 0.0242𝐿)
𝐶𝐴 = = 0.242𝑀
0.01𝐿

Determine the uncertainty (ΔC_A):


(24.3−24.2)2+(24.1−24.2)2+(24.2−24.2)2)
𝜎=√ (3−1)
= 0.1𝑚𝐿

𝛥𝑉𝐵
𝛥𝐶𝐴 = 𝐶𝐴 ×
𝑉𝐵
0.1
𝛥𝐶𝐴 = 0.242 × = 0.001𝑀
24.2
CA=0.242±0.001M

Conclusion:
The concentration of hydrochloric acid (HCl) was calculated to be
0.242 ± 0.001 M. The experiment was conducted with good
precision, as the volumes of NaOH used were consistent across
trials. Minor uncertainties arise from the measurement of
volumes, but they are relatively small in comparison to the overall
concentration. Future experiments could further minimize errors
by using more precise equipment.
