NaOH Titration Flashcards

Flashcards for NaOH concentration determination via titration.

Titration

A process used to determine the concentration of a solution by reacting it with a solution of known concentration.

Buret

A graduated glass tube with a tap at one end, for delivering known volumes of a liquid, especially in titrations.

Erlenmeyer flask

A flask with a conical base and cylindrical neck, used in laboratories.

Indicator

A substance which changes color depending on the pH of the solution. (e.g., Phenolphthalein)

Molarity (mol/L)

A unit of concentration, defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.

NaOH

Sodium hydroxide, a strong base whose concentration is determined by titration with a standard HCl solution.

HCl

Hydrochloric acid, a strong acid used as a titrant to determine the concentration of NaOH.

Phenolphthalein

A common indicator used in acid-base titrations, turning colorless in acidic solutions and pink in basic solutions.

m/V%

The mass/volume percent, expresses the concentration as grams of solute per 100 mL of solution.
