Simpson
2) This mass was accurately measured in a clean, dry beaker using an electronic
balance.
3) The solid was dissolved in distilled water with a stirring rod, making sure the
total volume was well under 250mL.
4) The solution was then completely transferred to a clean volumetric flask
using a funnel.
5) Any solution left on the beaker, stirring rod and funnel were completely rinsed
out.
6) The flask was topped up until the bottom of the meniscus reached the 250mL
line.
7) A stopper was plugged at the top of the flask.
Data analysis:
Conclusion:
The concentration of HCl solution found through the titration process was ___molL -1
Discussion:
Na2CO3(aq) 2HCl(aq) 2NaCl(aq) + H2CO3(aq)
Safety issues may lie with the handling of glassware, as carelessness can lead to
breakages which may inflict cuts. To prevent this, one would carry equipment with
both hands and caution. No parts of the equipment should be poking out or in the
way of any walkway and someone should always be watching them. Other risks
many include the fact that acids are corrosive and bases, caustic; which may cause
irritations to skin and eyes, if they should come in contact.
When students are preparing to titrate, students should be aware that pipette is
designed to have a small amount remaining at the tip, and this should not be blown
out. Also, when titrating the acid into the base, permanent colour change is ensure
by thoroughly mixing the solutions together and checking colour change again.
