Report on Neutralization Titration: Determination of the Concentration of Sodium

Hydroxide
Introduction
This experiment aimed to determine the concentration of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution
through a neutralization titration with hydrochloric acid (HCl). The principle of neutralization
reactions, the role of indicators, and the determination of end points were explored.
Theory
Neutralization titration is a quantitative analytical technique used to determine the concentration
of an unknown solution by reacting it with a known concentration solution (standard solution).
The equivalence point, where the moles of the acid and base are equal, is often indicated by a
color change using a suitable indicator. In this experiment, phenolphthalein was used as an
indicator, changing color from colorless to pink at the equivalence point.
Materials and Methods
● Materials: Burette, pipette, conical flask, volumetric flask, sodium hydroxide solution,
hydrochloric acid solution, phenolphthalein indicator, distilled water.
● Procedure:
1. Rinse all glassware with distilled water.
2. Fill the burette with the NaOH solution.
3. Pipette 25 mL of HCl into a conical flask and add a few drops of phenolphthalein
indicator.
4. Titrate the NaOH solution into the HCl solution until a faint pink color persists.
5. Repeat the titration twice to ensure accuracy.
Results
[Insert a table summarizing the titration results, including the volume of NaOH used in each
trial.]
Calculations
[Calculate the molarity of the NaOH solution using the following formula: Molarity of NaOH =
(Volume of NaOH) / (Volume of HCl) * Molarity of HCl]
Discussion
The results obtained from the titration experiments allowed for the accurate determination of the
concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution. The use of phenolphthalein as an indicator was
crucial in identifying the equivalence point. The consistency of the results across multiple trials
indicated the reliability of the experimental procedure.
Potential Sources of Error:
● Inaccurate pipetting or burette readings
● Improper rinsing of glassware
● Over-titration or under-titration
● Impurities in the reagents
Conclusion
The experiment successfully demonstrated the concept of neutralization titrations and provided
a quantitative method for determining the concentration of a solution. The results obtained were
consistent and accurate, demonstrating the effectiveness of the experimental procedure. Future
experiments could explore the use of different indicators or investigate the impact of
temperature on titration results.
