EFFECT OF DIFFERENT ACID TYPE ON SOLID LIQUID REACTION PROCESS FOR NEUTRALIZATION REACTION OBJECTIVE To study and investigate the effects of acid types on solid-liquid reaction INTRODUCTION Solid-liquid reactions are commonly found in our daily life. For example, panadol soluble, medicine for fever, produces gases when it dissolved in water. The alkaline earth metals, comprising Group I and Group II can be obtained naturally as carbonate compound. Limestone is one of the carbonate compounds that widely found in Malaysia and used in cements production. In cements production, the reaction between clay (CaAl2SiO8) and limestone (Ca2CO3) will be carried out. Calcium carbonate, CaCO3 will react with acidic solution to form salt, water and carbon dioxide. The ionic reaction path is as follow:
CO32 + 2 H 3 O + 3H 2 O + CO2

Based on the reaction path, an experimental study to investigate the effects of solid-liquid reaction in batch reactor will be conducted. Agitation, temperature, and acid concentration are among the parameters that affect the reaction condition. The diversity of acid will give an interesting reaction path to be studied. The effects can be investigated using the following procedure: PROCEDURE Reaction of CaCO3 with Hydrochloric Acid i. ii. iii. Weight 1.400-1.500 g of CaCO3 and add into a 250 mL cone cylinder Prepare 0.2 M of HCl solution. Using a burret, titrate the 10 mL of HCl slowly. Record your observation. Measure 140 mL of 0.2 M HCl using measurement cylinder and fill it inside the cone cylinder.

Chemical Engineering Laboratory I BKF2741 iv. Add magnetic stirrer and place it on a hot plate stirrer for 1 minute. After that, measure the pH (Attention: please do not measure the pH during stirring period). v. vi. Titrate another 1 mL of HCl and stir for 1 minute. Measure the pH and repeat this procedure for 12 times (12 x mL). Record your observation.

Using a burret, titrate the 10 mL of H2SO4 slowly. Record your observation. Measure 60 mL of 0.2 M H2SO4 using measurement cylinder and fill it inside the cone cylinder Add magnetic stirrer and place it on a hot plate stirrer for 1 minute. After that, measure the pH (Attention: please do not measure the pH during stirring period) Titrate another 1 mL of H2SO4 and stir for 1 minute. Measure the pH and repeat this procedure for 12 times (12 x mL) Record your observation

Reaction of CaCO3 with Acetic acid i. ii. iii. iv. v. vi. Weight 1.400-1.500 g of CaCO3 and add into a 250 mL cone cylinder Prepare 0.2 M of acetic acid solution. Using a burret, titrate the 10 mL of CH3COOH slowly. Record your observation. Measure 70 mL of 0.2 M CH3COOH using measurement cylinder and fill it inside the cone cylinder Add magnetic stirrer and place it on a hot plate stirrer for 1 minute. After that, measure the pH (Attention: please do not measure the pH during stirring period) Titrate another 1 mL of CH3COOH and stir for 1 minute. Measure the pH and repeat this procedure for 12 times (12 x mL) Record your observation

GUIDELINES FOR DISCUSSION 1. Plot pH graph versus volume, mL for each acidic solution studied and write a discussion to elaborate the graph 2. Calculate amount of acid required theoretically and from the experimental done base on the amount of CaCO3 used. Compared the value obtained. 3. Why the titration pH doesnt achieved pH of 7 for acidic reaction with CaCO3 when CaCO3 react as limited substances? 4. Every reaction produces different color. Explain why?
