First with Hydrochloric acid (HCl) of concentration 1.00 mol dm3 and Second with again Hydrochloric acid (HCl) of an unknown concentration. The main aim of this experiment was to find the concentration for the unknown Hydrochloric acid and to determine the quantity of energy released in the titration. With the help of the known Hydrochloric acid concentration the unknown was determined. Although there was no hypothesis made before the experiment as it was not required.

With the required equipment, Hydrochloric acid was poured into a burette upto 0mL. A pipette was used to gather 25.0 cm3 of Sodium Hydroxide and transfer it into a Beaker. However during the experiment, 25.0 cm3 was converted into dm3, which resulted as 0.0250 dm3. The Beaker was placed underneath the Burette during the titration process. During the setup, a temperature probe was placed in the beaker containing the NaOH, as the temperature was to be recorded. Once the temperature of the solution was stabilized after 50s, 1.0 dm3 of Hydrochloric Acid was titrated into the solution of NaOH. The mixture was stirred as the titration continued. Successive 1.0dm3 portions of HCl solution were added at every intervals of 5 second, stirring of the mixture continued as the process continued, as it helped the two solutions of NaOH and HCl to mix properly. The temperature of the NaOH solution was recorded, with the help of Logger Pro. This data is

It might have affected the result obtained for the unknown concentration and hence also the quantity of energy released during the titration.
After the first titration, we should have used a different Burette or we could’ve washed the burette first with water and then with HCl of 0.76 mol dm-3 (the unknown concentration), so that all the HCl of 1.0 mol dm-3 emptied.
Heat Lost to the Surrounding

Systematic: Procedural

Steps : 5-7
It would affect the result of the quantity of energy released in the titration.
During the titration, a lid might be used to avoid the heat lost to the surrounding.
Although, There would still be heat lost to the surrounding, but the amount would be lesser.
Time lapse during the titration

Systematic: Procedural

Step : 5-7
It would affect the time data for the maximum and minimum temperature, and hence would affect the result of the unknown concentration and the energy

    This lab makes use of the reaction excess powdered calcium carbonate and different concentrations limiting hydrochloric acid in order to determine the effect of changing concentration on the rate of the reaction. Students will carry out 3 trials of 5 experiments each trial. The five different experiments are for the various concentrations of hydrochloric acid (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0 mol/L). First measure out approximately 2 grams of powdered calcium carbonate using a weighing boat and analytical balance. Then, measure out 30 mL of 0.2 M hydrochloric acid into a volumetric flask.…

    To begin Lab 10 of Chem 115, students received permission to start the lab procedure after completion of prelab. First, students made a 25.0 mL of a 0.15 M Malonic Acid and 0.20 M Manganese Sulfate Monohydrate solution and labeled it "Solution 1". After the solution was made, a piece of parafilm was used to seal the flask before mixing it well. Next, a 25.0 mL of a 0.20 M Potassium Iodate solution, using 0.080 M sulfuric acid as a solvent, was made. Before adding the acid, students heated about 25 mL of the acid in a 100 mL volumetric flask.…

    This was confirmed by the values obtained from the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics. The experiment involved the use of calorimetry and Hess’s Law to calculate the molar enthalpy of dehydration. An important improvement to increase the accuracy of the data would be to use a digital thermometer with shorter intervals in recording the data, especially when the reaction is occurring. This would improve identifying the true final temperature of the system. Another improvement would be to use a calorimeter that better retains heat.…

    The purpose of this lab was to measure the exact mass of a primary standard, to find the precise number of moles of potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP) included to the reaction, the molarity of NaOH at the equivalence point, the molarity of an aqueous solution containing NaOH, as well as how much volume was needed to get to the equivalence point specified by the end point. The first step in this experiment was to prepare a solution of NaOH with an unknown molar concentration. Then, determine the concentration of the NaOH by titration, using KHP which has a known concentration and is considered a primary standard. during this experiment, Phenolphthalein was found to be the best indicator for the titration of vinegar with NaOH, due to it having…

    Discussion of Results and Scientific Explanation To achieve the goal of determining an unknown acid or base, anion and cation test were performed. These tests allowed for the components of the solutions to be identified, therefore, achieve the second goal. The pH was also used in to help find the identity of the unknown solutions and it was used to draw conclusions about the solutions. Dilutions were used to help understand the different behaviors of different concentrations. Household items were used to help apply basic theories about acids and bases such as pH. The titration curves were evaluated to help determine which indicator needed to be used for the indicator titration.…

    The volume of sodium thiosulphate will be 50cm³. The different concentrations of hydrochloric acid are 0.10M, 0.25M, 0.50M, 0.60M, 0.90M and 1.0M. Now, I will discuss my prediction of what will happen during the experiment. Prediction: My prediction is, • As I increase the concentration of hydrochloric acid and add it to the sodium thiosulphate the rate of reaction will decrease. This happens because more particles are being added to the solution when the concentration increases.…
