Part 1 - Making the solutions of the citric acid samples.

Rinse all the apparatus very well before using them in the experiment while performing any step.

To make the samples we need to take the sample and add distilled water to it so that there is decent amount of sample made for performing the experiment. The ratio of distilled water to the sample solution (pure) is 1:1. [Note: there wont be any change in the molarity of the sample as we are just increasing the volume by adding distilled water to it.]

To make the sample solution for Tropicana and Sweet lemon we need to filter it order to get rid of the pulp, which results into interruptions in the experiment.

Make sure that you take the pure sample and then add distilled water to

Part 3 - Standardizing 0.1 molarity NaOH solution.

The titrant solution is standardized using Oxalic acid and to perform this part we need to carry out titration.

We need to prepare 0.1 molarity of oxalic acid from Oxalate. For this 9.004 grams of Oxalate is required and dissolved in 1000ml of water. Molecular weight of Oxalic acid = 90.04g
[C=12.01; H=1.01; O=16]

1mole = 90.04g so, 0.1mole = 9.004g Oxalic acid in 1000ml of distilled water.

Reaction for Oxalic acid and Sodium hydroxide:

C_2 H_4 O_4+2NaOH →〖Na〗_2 CO_4+2H_2 O
(The ratio between Oxalic acid and Sodium Hydroxide is in the ratio 1:2)

For carrying out titration take 25ml NaOH in a conical flask using a pipette and fill up the burette with 0.1molar Oxalic acid. Add 4-5 drops of colorless phenolphthalein in the flask containing NaOH. Note the titer value for 5 five trials and take the average titer value into consideration.

Perform titration between Oxalic acid and Sodium

    A graduated cylinder was used to measure 200mL of distilled water into an Erlenmeyer flask and then 40mL of 0.6 M NaOH was added to the distilled water in the flask. The flask was then plugged with a rubber stopper and shook in order to mix the solution. A buret was then washed, rinsed with distilled water, and then 5 mL of the NaOH diluted solution. After the cleansing of the buret, it was then filled up with the NaOH diluted solution. The dilution of the solution was calculated to find the molarity of the NaOH.…

    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 Thermodynamics of Potassium Nitrate Dissolving in Water Introduction: This experiment focuses on thermodynamics or the study of heat and molecular randomness. It helps illustrate how and why potassium nitrate (KNO3) dissolves in water. When it dissolves, it dissociates into potassium (K+) and nitrate (NO3-) ions. These ions can also recombine into solid potassium nitrate. This reaction can reach a state where concentrations of ions remain constant or Ksp; which stands for the equilibrium concentration for the solubility product.…
