INTRODUCTION CONCLUSIONS

The goal of experiment six is to create a pH curve while

titrating several acid-base solutions between a strong acid-strong
base, weak acid-strong base, and strong acid-weak base using a
pH meter, magnetic strip, and buret. These solutions then establish
a Beers Law Plot which includes the amount of energy absorbed
to be proportional to the solutions absorptivity and the
concentration of the solute. Equilibrium, which states opposing
forces are balanced, is reached throughout the equation by certain
reagents. Equilibrium's constant, Kc is reached by multiplying the
products in the reaction and dividing the total product by the total
product of reactants in the equation. The balanced chemical
equation including both products and reactants to solve for

According to the results, experiment seven turned
out to be successful. The results are good due to a low
percent error. The results were taken from another group

Throughout experiment six, several titrations were performed

with different solutions in volumetric flasks. Samples A1-A5 were

provided in table one before being transferred to labeled test
tubes. Each solution was tested for its absorbance with three trials
when the Spec20 was calibrated at 460nm with A5, which was a
blank solution. For part two of experiment six, samples B1-B6
