Onderzoeksvragen (Research Questions)

Voorbereiden (Preparation)

A - Informatie verzamelen = vooronderzoek (Gathering Information = Preliminary Research)

• Principle of titration and of acid-base indicators.

B Benodigdheden (Requirements)

• Materiaal (Materials): burette, stand, burette clamp, 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask, 100 mL graduated cylinder, 10 mL pipette, funnel, white card as background.
• Stoffen (Substances):
  • Phenolphthalein, distilled water
  • NaOH solution H 315-319 P 280.1+3-305+351+338
  • HCl solution 0.10 mol/L – no H- and P-sentences

Uitvoeren (Execution)

Werkwijze (Method)

• Pipette exactly 10 mL of the NaOH solution into an Erlenmeyer flask, add a few drops of phenolphthalein, and homogenize.
• Fill the burette with the 0.10 mol/L HCl solution.
• Record the initial reading of the HCl solution in the burette.
• Titrate until colorless.
• Record the final reading of the HCl solution in the burette.
• Perform the titration at least three times and calculate the average added volume.
• Let the burette drain. Rinse by letting a full burette of tap water drain through.
• Proefopstelling (Experimental setup): (make a drawing and name the parts)

Meetgegevens (Measurements)

• Beginstand buret (mL) = Initial burette reading (mL)
• Eindstand buret (mL) = Final burette reading (mL)
• Toegevoegd volume 0,10 mol/L HCl (mL) = Added volume of 0.10 mol/L HCl (mL)
• Titratie 1
• Titratie 2
• Titratie 3
• Gemiddeld toegevoegd volume (mL) = Average added volume (mL)

Berekeningen (Calculations)

• Calculate the concentration of NaOH in the solution, expressed in mol/L.
• Calculate the concentration of NaOH in the solution, expressed in m/V%.

Rapporteren - Reflecteren (Reporting - Reflecting)

Evalueren uitvoering (Evaluate Execution)

• Does the calculated concentration correspond to the value stated on the label? If not, what could be the reason for this?
