Notes for Today

Acid-Base Titration

·       Problem:  What is the molar mass of an unknown acid, HA?

 

·       Strategy:  Titrate known mass of HA with known molarity NaOH

o   NaOH(aq) + HA(aq) -> NaA(aq) + H2O(l)

 

 

   

 

·           Phenolphthalein Endpoint Detection

     

        colorless (HA only)             titrate …       pink (slight NaOH excess)

 

 

·       Tasks for Today

o   Prepare 0.100M NaOH titrant in a volumetric flask

o   Weigh unknown HA (acid) samples on the analytical balance

o   Titrate acid with 0.100M NaOH (VNaOH -> moles NaOH -> moles HA)

o   Process data (calculate molar mass) before dismantling the titration apparatus

                      

 

·       Safety Issues and Waste Disposal

o   Splash hazard with acids/bases; goggles required throughout lab

o   Solid acids and titration mixtures are safe to dispose in the sink (NOT IN THE TRASH)
