Titration Basics

Titrant for the experiment is Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH), which acts as the base.
Analyte in the titration is Hydrochloric Acid (HCl).

Equipment and Setup

Titrant is stored in a buret, which allows precise dispensing.
The analyte is placed in an Erlenmeyer flask for mixing and titration.

Concentration Calculations

To find the molarity of HCl, perform the following:
- Calculate moles of NaOH used: moles = molarity (0.9971 M) × volume (0.03615 L) = 0.03606 mol.
- Molar concentration of HCl: (0.03606 mol) / (0.0250 L) = 1.442 M.

Standards

Primary standard in this experiment is Potassium Hydrogen Phthalate (KHC₈H₄O₄), a substance with an accurate mass used for calibration.
Sodium Hydroxide becomes a secondary standard after its molar concentration is determined.

Indicators and Endpoints

Phenolphthalein is the chosen indicator, added to the analyte; it is colorless in acidic solution and turns pink in basic conditions.
Stoichiometric point signifies complete reaction, while the endpoint is indicated by a change in color due to pH change.

Buret Rinsing Technique

Rinse buret using water through the tip to ensure it is clean.
Final rinse should use NaOH to avoid contamination, as residual water could alter measurements.

Mass Calculation

To calculate mass of Potassium Hydrogen Phthalate reacting with NaOH:
- 15 mL of 15 M NaOH leads to 0.00225 mol NaOH.
- This equals 0.00225 mol KHCHO, resulting in a mass of approximately 0.4595 g when multiplied by the molar mass (204.23 g/mol).

Dispensing Unknown Acid

25.00 mL of the unknown HCl acid is measured using an appropriately labeled buret (A, B, or C).

Correct Buret Filling Procedure

Use a clean beaker to pour about 100 mL of NaOH into a funnel on top of the buret.
Keep excess NaOH in the beaker for future fill-ups; do not return to the original storage to prevent contamination.
