An Erlenmeyer flask is often used for titrations because

It is designed to reduce the risk of losing solution due to splashing.

closing the container and shaking a minimum of 20 times.

Which of the following could be a reading from a nearly full 50 mL buret with markings every tenth milliter

B. 0.10 mL

When titrating, the solution should

Be mixed throughout the addition of titrant

The balances in the UD chemistry laboratories read masses to four decimal places. When recording the mass of sample on a data sheet

C. all numbers shown should be recorded

The point in a titration at which one reactant has been exactly consumed by addition of the other reactant is known as the

Equivalence point

Phenolphthalein is used in the Acid Base Titration II procedure

indicator

In the Acid Base Titration II procedure the sodium hydroxide solution used

Was prepared in lab the previous week

Which of the following is an Erlenmeyer flask

If a solution is prepared by diluting a more concentrated solution, insufficient mixing of the prepared solution will result in

the concentration of solution near the top of the container likely being less than the concentration of solution in the bottom.

When rinsing a buret with DI water or titrant

The buret should be held horizontally and rolled

In the Acid Base Titration II procedure the experimental task is to

Determine the molar mass of an unknown acid

One mole of a monoprotic acid requires ___ moles of sodium hydroxide to reach the equivalence point.

One

A buret should be filled

to below the 0.00 mL mark

The safety policies of the University of Dayton General chemistry program are

Based on the guidelines of the American Chemical Society.

One mole of a triprotic acid requires ___ moles of sodium hydroxide to reach the equivalence point.

Three

When rinsing a buret with DI water or titrant approximately ___ mL of water or titrant should be used

D. 5 mL

The safety shower is located

Next to the emergency exit near the back of lab.

Titration of the unknown acid with NaOH should be repeated a minimum of ____ times.

Standardization

the analytical determination of molarity of solution. For NaOh - titration is necessary because it is not possible to directly prepare a known molarity solution of NaOH with accuracy.

Primary Standard

a substance of very high purity wich is stable in air. Because it remains pure it is possible to mass a sample of the substance with a high degree of accuracy.

Volumetric Flask

...

Buret

Magnetic stirrer

...

titration

completed in which a buret is used to dispense measure increments of solution into a second solution or an unknown acid.
Objective: to detect when the reactants are present in stoichiometric equivalent amounts

Monoprotic Acid

HA + NaOH> NaA + H2O

Diprotic Acid

H2A + 2NaOH > Na2A + 2H2O

Indicator

used to signal the equivalence point.

Phenolphthalein

Indicator which is clear in acidic solution and pink in basic solution.

End point

actual point at which the indicator changes color.

Deliquescent

having the ability to rapidly absorb water from the atmosphere. Ex. NaOH

Calculating molarity of NaOH

(mass of KHP,g) (1/Molar mass KHP) = mol KHP
(mol KHP)(1 mol NaOH/1 mol KHP) = mole NaOH
mol NaOH/volume NaOH L = molarity

Molar Mass of the Unknown Acid

(volume NaOH L)(M of NaOH) = mole NaOH
mono, diprotic, triprotic:
diprotic
mole naoh x 1/2 = moles of acid mass/ moles= molar mass

Precision

repeatability, a measure of how close a series of measurements are to one another, reprodicibility

Accuracy

a measure of how close a measurement comes to the actual or true value of whatever is measured

Impact of NaOH in a plastic bottle in ait

concentration would increase because NaOH would evaporate with water. So there would be a lower amount of solution per liter of water

NaOH is not restandardized after some water evaporated - quantity

Would impact the quantity: the amount of solution necessary to reach the endpoint would decrease due to the increased concentration of the solution.

NaOH is not restandardized after some water evaporated - atomic molar mass

Calculated molar mass would increase because there would be fewer moles to react with the unstandardized NaOH. With less there would be a higher gram to mol ratio.

Hess's Law

Reaction enthalpy is a state function, the enthalpy changes of a series of reactions can be combined to determine the enthalpy change of a reaction that is the sum of the components of the series.

Heat Transferred

(Heat capacity of solution)(change in T)

Heat capacity of solution

(mass of solution)(specific heat of solution)
