SCH 3U - Titration Lab

You will be carrying out an individual, week-long titration lab.  You will be assigned a station to work at and you will set up all your equipment and perform the experiment in this space.

 

Equipment:

Collect and clean (as appropriate) the following equipment: 

  1. Winchester bottle - found under the student sinks on the right side of the room.
  2. burette - front of room behind cart
  3. burette clamp - cart
  4. retort stand - cart
  5. funnel - cart
  6. Erlenmeyer flask (any size) x 3 - cart
  7. beaker (small) - cart
  8. phenolphthalein - cart
  9. 10 mL pipette - cart
  10. pipetter - cart
  11. white paper - BYOWP

 

Sections:

 (I)  Solution Preparation

- prepare 500.0 mL of a 0.10 M NaOH solution

- use the procedure you learned when we talked about creating a solution from a solid solute

 

(II)  NaOH Standardization

- since NaOH(s) is hygroscopic, it is impossible to make a concentration of exactly 0.1 M 

- in this section you will determine the actual concentration of the NaOH solution the you made in part (I)


 (III)  Molar Mass of Unknown Monoprotic Solid Acid

- in this section, you will determine the molar mass of monoprotic, solid unknown acid


Assessment:

  1. Report - include NaOH mass calculation (part (I)), NaOH standardization chart  & calculation (part (II)) and molar mass chart & calculation (part (III)).     /10 marks
  2. Accuracy - NO CODE = NO MARK    /20 marks
  3. Technique     /10 marks
  4. Clean-Up     /5 marks
