Objective:
The objective of this experiment was to prepare and standardize a 0.1M NaOH
through potentiometric titration using KHP and phenolphthalein indicator. The
standardized NaOH solution was then used to determine the molarity of the acids
HCl and H3PO4 in unknown solution #138 through titration.
Safety:
Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH): If comes in contact with eyes rinse with plenty of water
for 15mins, seek medical attention. If comes in contact with skin rinse with plenty of
water for 15mins, cover the irritated skin with an emollient and seek medical
attention. If inhaled or ingested and symptoms are felt seek medical attention. This
is an odorless white solid with a molecular weight of 40g/mol and is easily soluble in
cold water. Avoid contact with skin or hands when handling. Use this chemical in
adequate ventilation. This should be disposed of in appropriate container.
Potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP): If comes in contact with eyes or skin this
chemical flush area with water for 15mins, and seek medical attention. It may cause
irritation. If ingested or inhaled seek medical attention if symptoms occur. Use with
adequate ventilation. If chemical is spilt sweet or vacuum into suitable container,
try not to produce dust. Do not let this chemical enter the environment. This
chemical is a crystal-like white odorless solid. It is soluble in water and has a
molecular weight of 204.22g/mol. This chemical should be disposed of in
appropriate container.
Phenolphthalein indicator: Avoid contact with skin or eyes and inhalation or
ingestion when handling this product. If comes in contact with skin rinse infected
area with water for 15mins, cover with an emollient and seek medical attention. If
comes in contact with eyes rinse with water for 15mins, and seek medical attention.
If ingested or inhaled seek medical attention if symptoms occur. If this chemical is
spilt dilute the spill with water and mop it up, or absorb with an inert dry material
and place in disposal bin. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. This is a
colourless liquid that is easily soluble in cold and hot water.
Calculations/Observations:
15.00g of sodium hydroxide was used to prepare the 0.1M NaOH solution.

Conclusion:
The objective of this experiment was to determine the concentration of HCl and
H3PO4 present in unknown solution #138 through titration with sodium hydroxide
which was prepared and standardized through potentiometric titration using KHP
and phenolphthalein indicator. In unknown #138 it was determined the molarity of
HCl was 0.0521M and the molarity of H3PO4 was 0.0253M.
