Exp 2 Solved

This document describes an experiment to determine if an acid (Z) is monoprotic or diprotic. It involves titrating a solution of acid Z with a sodium hydroxide solution and calculating the moles of H+ released. From the results, the document determines the number of moles of H+ per mole of acid Z, indicating whether it is mono- or diprotic.

Quantitative Analysis

Read through the whole method before starting any practical work. Where appropriate, prepare a table
for your results in the space provided.

Show your working and appropriate significant figures in the final answer to each step of your calculations.

Acids are defined as substances that can donate hydrogen ions, H+, to bases. Monoprotic acids
contain one H+ that can be donated per molecule. Diprotic acids contain two H+ that can be donated
per molecule.

You will determine by a titration method whether acid Z is monoprotic or diprotic.

FA 1 is a solution containing 6.10 g dm–3 of acid Z.


FA 2 is 0.105 mol dm–3 aqueous sodium hydroxide, NaOH.
