    Titration of Household Lab

    Uploaded by

    Tammara Wallace
    This document describes procedures for titrating three common household substances: vinegar with sodium hydroxide, aqueous ammonia with hydrochloric acid, and Lysol toilet cleaner with sodium hydroxide. For each titration, 10 mL of the substance is added to an Erlenmeyer flask along with an indicator and water. The standard solution is then titrated into the flask until the endpoint is reached, as indicated by a color change. The volume added is recorded from the buret to calculate molarities and pH values.

    Titration of Common Household Products

    (Do at least two trials for each part!) Names:________________________________________________

    Part I. Titration of vinegar with sodium hydroxide


    Vinegar contains acetic acid, so it can be neutralized by adding a base. Use a graduated cylinder to deliver 10.00
    mL of vinegar to a clean 250 mL erlenmeyer flask. Add 1-2 drops of phenolphthalein and about 25 mL of distilled
    water. Use the 1.00 Molar NaOH solution (in the buret) to titrate the vinegar until the solution is barely pink.
    Record volumes on the buret to the nearest 0.1 mL. (or to the nearest 0.01 mL if possible). Discard the titrated
    solution in the sink and rinse the flask with distilled water.

    Trial #1 Trial#2
    Volume of Vinegar Used
    Initial Buret Reading
    Final Buret Reading
    Volume of NaOH delivered from Buret
    Color of solution at end point

    Part II. Titration of aqueous ammonia (glass cleaner) with hydrochloric acid
    Ammonia (NH3) can be neutralized by adding an acid. Use a graduated cylinder to deliver 10.00 mL of ammonia
    solution to a clean 250 mL erlenmeyer flask. Add 1 drop of methyl orange and about 25 mL of distilled water. Use
    the 1.00 Molar HCl solution (in the buret) to titrate the ammonia until the solution turns from yellow to
    peach/light orange (not pink). Record volumes on the buret to the nearest 0.1 mL. (or to the nearest 0.01 mL if
    possible). Discard the titrated solution in the sink and rinse the flask with distilled water.

    Part III. Titration of Lysol toilet cleaner with sodium hydroxide!


    Lysol contains hydrochloric acid, so it can be neutralized by adding a base. Use YOUR graduated cylinder to deliver
    5.00 mL of lysol to a clean 250 mL erlenmeyer flask. Use distilled water to rinse the lysol from your graduated
    cylinder into your flask (use at least 20 mL water and make sure all the lysol gets into your flask). Add 1-2 drops of
    phenolphthalein. Use the 1.00 Molar NaOH solution (in the buret) to titrate the lysol until the solution is barely
    pink. Record volumes on the buret to the nearest 0.1 mL. (or to the nearest 0.01 mL if possible). Discard the
    titrated solution in the sink and rinse the flask with distilled water.

    Pre Lab Questions


    Part I. Titration of vinegar with 1.00 M sodium hydroxide
    1. Vinegar is an aqueous solution of acetic acid. What is the formula for acetic acid?
    ______________________ (Hint: the formula of acetate ion is C2H3O2-1)
    2. Write the neutralization reaction that occurs between acetic acid and sodium hydroxide. Include
    subscripts.

    Part II. Titration of aqueous ammonia with 1.00 M hydrochloric acid

    NH4OH. Write the neutralization reaction that occurs between the ammonium hydroxide and HCl.
    Include subscripts.

    Part III. Titration of Lysol toilet cleaner with 1.00 M sodium hydroxide!
    4. The active ingredient in lysol is hydrochloric acid. Write the neutralization reaction that occurs
    between hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide. Include subscripts.

    CALCULATIONS
    Part I
    1. Decide what volume of NaOH to use for your calculations: If you had two good (light pink) trials, use
    the average volume delivered. If you had one good trial and one bad trial, use the volume from the good
    trial. If you didn’t achieve a light pink color in either trial, use the trial with a smaller volume of base
    delivered. What volume of NaOH will you use in your calculations? ___________mL
    2. Calculate the molarity of acetic acid in the vinegar.
    3. Calculate the pH and pOH of the acetic acid.
    Part II
    4. Decide what volume of HCl to use for your calculations (use the same logic as in part I) What volume
    of HCl will you use in your calculations? ___________mL
    5. Calculate the molarity of the ammonia solution.
    6. Calculate the pH and pOH of the ammonia solution.
    7. Decide what volume of NaOH to use for your calculations (use the same logic as in parts I and II)
    What volume of NaOH will you use in your calculations? ___________mL
    8. Calculate the molarity of the hydrochloric acid in the lysol.
    9. Use your molarity from #3 to calculate the pH of lysol.
    10. In this lab, you titrated three different household substances: Vinegar, ammonia, and lysol.
    a. Which of these substances was the most acidic?_____________________________
    b. Which of these substances was the most basic?______________________________
    c. Which of these substances had the highest pH?______________________________
    11. Which substance was the indicator in part I?_____________________________________
