ABSTRACT

         In this experiment, we did a titration which is the

method that we add the base solution to make the unknown
5M
solution become neutral. We also want to know the amount
of the unknown solution, so we use the solution that we
know to measure it. The pH of the mixed solution will be
different depends on the indication that we used. We
started the experiment with the cleaning part. For the buret
and pipette, we have to clean it by the solution that we want
to use. For the beaker and the flask, we can clean it by the
8M
distilled water. After we done the cleaning part, we started
to do the titration part.37 M three Erlenmeyer flask for

each indication. We did the rough titration first to compute
the amount of base that we need to change the color of the
solution. Then, we can do the real titration and beware when
the amount of base closely to the rough titration, so we have
to slow down. The color that we want for the Bromophenol
Blue is green and for the Phenolphthalein is light pink
which mean the end point of solutions. 
 Introduction

According to Svante Arrhenius, acid is a material

that is able to release proton or hydrogen ion, and
a base (Alkali) is a material that can give out
hydrogen ion(1884, Arrhenius). In a neutralization
reaction acids and bases are combined patiently to
make salt and water.
NaOH  + HCl → H2O + NaCl
The reason that the solution becomes neutral is
from acid releasing hydrogen ion and base release
its hydroxide ion. One method that could be used in
neutralizing acid or bases is called titration.
When titration is performed full safety gear needs
to be on and all direction should follow carefully.
NaOH is very slowly drop into HCL using different
indicators; phenolphthalein and bromophenol blue.
The expected result for the solution that use
phenolphthalein as an indicator is light pink and
the one that use bromophenol blue should get
greenish-grey solution. Anyway, this method needs
a lot of patient and practice, because just a little
amount of base that is too much would ruin the
neutral solution. If base is added too much it will
turn the solution into dark pink or blue which
means pH rate is not neutral. 
OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this lab is for us to understand more

about acid, bases, neutralization, and titration method
to find the concentration of an unknown solution.

 DISCUSSION

In our result, the mole of hydrochloric acid in each

trial is dramatically different and it need to be
almost the same. This was caused due to many
factor. First of all is mismeasurement, I think it is
the most important factor to our spread of result.
The burets are very tall from our head and we
might measure the sodium hydroxide volume we
put wrong. Another factors I think that we might
put too much sodium hydroxide and we measure
the pH wrong and cause this much changes.

3. How do you tell if you have exceeded the

equivalence point in your titration?
ANSWER:  We can’t tell that it exceeded the
equivalence point already if you use sodium hydroxide
and hydrochloric. You have to use bromophemol blue
which has neutral pH value in the solution.
CONCLUSION

 In conclusion,we could find unknown molarity (concentration)

of a solution; in this experiment,HCl, using other solution that
5M
we know its molarity; NaOH (base) using titration process.
From the experiment, we have got molarity of HCl as
0.0089M and 0.005M from Phenolphthalein and
Bromophenol blue respectively.

SUGGESTIONS 8M
37 M
From the very beginning, the first thing that we should do is
clean glassware properly to prevent contaminated solution
and errors. All of chemicals must be measured accurately.
During the titration process, basic solution should be added
gently while swirling the erlenmeyer flask continuously;
patient is the important thing during this method. We should
beware about reading buret scale and calculating used
amount of solution. Additionally, there should be more than
one person to record the result for correct and clear data.
