Acid-Base Titration

Observations

Data

 Initial buret volume: mL NaOH

 Final buret volume: mL NaOH

 Total volume titrated to reach end-point

(Final buret volume – Initial buret volume): mL NaOH

Calculations

Since the stoichiometric ratio of hydrogen ions to hydroxide ion is 1:1 in this reaction:

HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O

the number of moles of NaOH added to HCl will be equal at the end point or:

(Molarity acid)x(Volume of acid) = (Molarity of base)x(Volume of base added)

 Prove that the above equation is true by substituting your collected data into the
formula: (remember units).

Questions
1) What happened to the rise in pH as the end-point was approached?

2) Determine the equivalence point from your pH graph (steepest point of curve). Indicate
this point on the graph.

3) Concentrated hydrochloric acid (HCl), or muriatic acid as it is called in industry, is

available in a concentration of 12 M. It ionizes to yield one acid proton per molecule of
HCl. Calculate the pH of this very strong and concentrated acid.
