    The document describes a volumetric analysis (titration) experiment to determine the concentration of an unknown sulfuric acid solution (P) using a sodium hydroxide solution (Q) of a known concentration. Three accurate titrations were performed by adding P from a burette to 25.0 cm3 of Q in a conical flask. The average volume of P used was calculated. Using the balanced chemical equation for the reaction between H2SO4 and NaOH, the moles of NaOH in Q and moles of H2SO4 that reacted were calculated. From this, the concentration of H2SO4 in P was determined. Precautions were followed to ensure accurate results, and an industrial or everyday application

    Task 1:

    Volumetric Analysis (Titration)


    1. P is a solution of Sulphuric (H2SO4) acid of unknown concentration.
    Q is a 0.10mol/dm3 sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution.
    In this experiment, you are going to determine the concentration of sulphuric acid by
    titration.
    a. Put P in the burette. Pipette a 25.0cm3 portion of Q into a conical flask and titrate
    with P using the indicator provided.
    Repeat your titration procedure so that you have Three (3) accurate titrations.
    Calculate and indicate the average value in the summary below

    The results: Burette readings in cm3
