What Is The Concentration Of Bromothymol Blue Hydrochloric Acid

Improved Essays
When a strong acid is titrated with a strong base, the equivalence point is at pH=7. Bromothymol blue is the best of the three indicators for this titration. But the color changes for methyl orange , bromothymol blue, and phenolphthalein will all occur at nearly the same volume of added Acid. This is because there is a huge jump at the equivalence point as shown in graph 1. From the result, the colour changes for the three diffrent indicator occur at nearly the same volume of hydrochloric acid used. For Phenolphthalein, the volume of the hydrochloric acid used is 37.30mL. For Methyl red, the volume of the hydrochloric acid used is 37.10mL. For Bromothymol blue , the volume of the hydrochloric acid used is 37.15mL. The range of the three reading

    The purpose of this experiment is to determine the pH of known substances by use of a pH color indicator of red cabbage and the use of a pH meter. As well as, to observe the pH changes in a substance by adding in more basic of acidic to buffered solutions and unbuffered solutions. This experiment will also will show how to calculate H3O+, OH- and pH by use of known values. In order to do this lab, there are a few key components one needs to know and understand first.…

    MR test tube inoculated and incubated for 24 hours, ten to fifteen drops of methyl red indicator then added to the cultured. If it turned red then that was the positive for the presence of mixed acids. No color change was negative, however, if the media turned orange, it was inconclusive. VP test tube was inoculate and incubated up to 3 days, vortexed, added Barrits Reagent A (alpha-napthol) and Barrits Reagent B (potassium hydroxide). Red or pink color was positive reaction, no color change was negative, however it could take up to an hour to see the color change.…

    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…

    This will help us determine our concentration of NaOH. Phenolphthalein is an indicator that changes color to light pink when it reaches the end point. Phenolphthalein is used because the titration of weak acid and strong base has a basic pH end point. KHP is used as the primary standard because it is solid, easy to weigh to reduce errors, stable when exposed to air and the molar ratio between NaOH and KHP…

    Discussion In this study, the Catechol enzyme was studied under the conditions of varying pH, temperature, substrate concentration, and enzyme concentration. In Figure 1, the data suggested that the trend was neither directly nor inversely proportional, but the highest activity rate was at 24°C. Most enzymes denatured at higher temperatures of approximately 40°C, which led to the inability to see any color change (Helms et al., 1998). At lower temperatures, the enzyme was somewhat efficient because molecules move slower at lower temperatures, so enzymes lost productivity.…

    It is important to note that the goal of this experiment was to find the pKa value of bromothymol blue, a pH indicator commonly used in titrations. [UNC, 2017] The pKa is where the number of moles of acid to conjugated base are equivalent. To find this, both Beer’s Law and spectroscopy were utilized in an attempt to make graphs to show just where this value occurred. According to Sigma-Aldrich, the pKa of bromothymol blue is approximately 7.10.…

    Throughout this acid, base and buffer lab, this will allow each individual to gain an enhanced sense of knowledge of how these different aqueous solutions work as a buffer system or how they are unable to perform as buffer system mixed with two solutions together. This can be identified through the colour change to measure pH behaviour in several aqueous solutions, therefore the different factors that will cause the change of pH. This will gain understanding of how this relates to the biological studies of biology and to the advantage of humans. Hydrochloric acid combined with water will not a make good buffer system. Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid that will not coexist with any other base in equilibrium.…
