By D. J. Sindh Govt. Science CollegeOBJECT:
(2) You are given decinormal (1/ 10 or 0.1 N) solution of KOH. Find out Normality and amount of given H2SO4 per 100 cm3 solution.
APPARATUS:
- Burette
- Pipette
- Conical Flask
- Burette Stand with clamp
- Dropper
THEORY:
ACID-BASE TITRATION:
Titration is a process in which the fixed volume of a solution taken by means of pipette into conical flask is compared with the volume of solution added from burette upto end point which is obtained by colour change. The purpose of titration is to determine the unknown strength of a solution.
Base is a substance which gives OH- ion in aqueous solution. When an acid solution reacts completely with base solution or vice versa, a salt is formed.
Neutralization: In acid-base reaction H+ ion from an acid and OH- ion from a base form H2O, salt is also formed process is called neutralization. This is indicated by end point and is observe by suitable indicator those having different colors in different medium.
Strong acid and strong base ionize completely in aqueous solution while weak acid and weak base ionize only partially in aqueous solution, these form acidic and basic salts which hydrolyse to change the pH.
Na2CO3 + H2O ⟶ NaOH + H2CO3
(Basic salt) + (water) (Strong base) (Weak acid)
where Basic (pH > 7)
EQUATIONS
2KOH + H2SO4 ⟶ K2SO4 + 2H2O
IONIC EQUATION
2K+ + 20H- + 2H+ + SO42- ⟶ 2K+ + SO42- + 2H20
PROCEDURE:
Strong Base Vs Stron Acid
- Wash burette, pipette and conical flask with water.
- Rinse burette with base (KOH) and pipette with acid (H2SO4).
- Do not rinse the conical flask.
- Fill the burette with base (KOH) upto Zero mark.
- Pipette out 10 cm3 of acid (H2SO4) into the conical flask.
- Add one or two drops of phenolphthalein as indicator.
- Titrate the base in the burette with the acid in conical flask. The burette solution is added drop by drop into the conical flask.
- Shake the flask after each addition, The end point is indicated by colour change from colourless to light pink.
- Note the end point.
- Wash the conical flask with water and repeats the same process for at least three times to obtain two similar readings.
OBSERVATION:
Volume Of NaOH = V1 = ___ cm3
S.NO. | Initial reading | Final reading | Difference | Concordant reading |
---|---|---|---|---|
1. | cm3 | cm3 | cm3 | ___ cm3 |
2. | cm3 | cm3 | cm3 | |
3. | cm3 | cm3 | cm3 |
- Solution in burette = KOH
- Solution in conical flask = H2SO4
- Indicator used = Phenophthalein
- Normality of standard solution Of KOH = N1 = 0.1 N
- Volume of KOH solution = V1 = _____ ml (Hint: Burette - concordant reading)
- Normality of H2SO4 solution = N2 = ___ N
- Volume of standard solution Of H2SO4 = V2 = 10 ml
- Amount of H2SO4 = _____ gms/cm3
CALCULATION:
Normality Of H2SO4
N1 (base) x V1(base) = N2 (acid) x V2 (acid)
OR
OR
N2 = (N1 x V1) / V2 = ____ N
Equivalent mass Of H2SO4 = Molecular mass / Basicityty of H2SO4
Molecular mass of H2SO4 = 2(1) + 1(32) + 4(16) = 2 + 32 + 64 = 98 a.m.u
Equivalent mass Of H2SO4 =
Amount Of H2SO4 In gms / 100 cm3
RESULT:
Normality of given H2SO4 solution = ______ N
Amount of H2SO4 in the given solution = ____ gms / 100 cm3
OR

EXPERIMENT NO.2
OBJECT: You are provided N/18 (0.56 N) Solution of H2SO4. Determine the normality and amount of KOH in gms per 600 cm3.
APPARATUS:
- Burette
- Pipette
- Conical Flask
- Burette Stand
- Clamp with holder
- Dropper
THEORY:
When an acid reacts completely with an equivalent amount of a base neutralization takes place. Neutralization is the process in which H+ ion of an acid and OH- ions of a base combine to form water. A salt is also formed during the neutralization.
Acid + Base ⟶ Water + Salt
EQUATION:
2KOH + H2SO4 ⟶ K2SO4 + 2H2O
IONIC EQUATION:
2K+ + 20H- + 2H+ + SO42- ⟶ 2K+ + SO42- + 2H20
PROCEDURE:
1) Wash the burette pipette and conical flask with water.
2) Rinse the burette with KOH solution and pipette with H2SO4 solution.
3) Fill the burette with KOH solution leaving no air bubble in the jet and clamp it vertically in to the burette stand.
4) Pipette out 10 cm3(ml) of H2SO4 solution in to the conical flask and add 1 - 2 drops of phenolphthalein indicator.
5) Start adding the solution of NaOH drop by drop from the burette into the conical flask, shake the flask after each addition.
6) Continue the addition of KOH solution till a permanent pinkish tinge appears with a single drop of KOH solution, record the reading of burette at this stage.
7) Wash the conical flask with water and repeat the process of titration till concordant reading is obtained.
OBSERVATIONS:
i) Solution in burette: KOH
ii) Solution in conical flask: H2SO4
