EXPERIMENT 1
Topic: Volumetric Analysis – acid base

Purpose: To determine the exact concentration of a mineral acid, HXO4, and to determine the relative atomic
mass of the element X.

Materials:

KA1 (a mineral acid, HXO4)
-

KA2 (a solution containing 1.70 g of OH ions per dm3

Phenolphtalein as indicator

Apparatus:

One 25 cm3 pipette and pipette filler

Three titration flasks

One 50 cm3 burette

One retort stand and clamp

One white tile

One wash bottle filled with distilled water

Procedure:
 25.0 cm3 of KA2 is pipetted into a titration flask.
 Two or three drops of phenolphtalein indicator are added to KA2.
 KA2 solution and phenolphtalein indicator is titrated with KA1.
 Readings are recorded in the table below.
 The titration is repeated 3 times to achieve accurate results.

Results:

Final reading (cm )
Initial reading (cm3)
Volume of KA1 (cm3) 24.50- 24.90 25.00 ± 0.2 25.00 ± 0.2 25.00 ± 0.2
Calculate your average titre value showing the suitable titre values
that you use. Fill in your answer in the blanks in the following.
Skill B (6 marks):
Show all steps. (a) /2
e.g.: Average titre value = ……………………….. = 25.0 cm3
(b) /2
25.0 cm3 of KA2 required ………………… cm3 of KA1 for a complete reaction.
(c) /2
Analysis:
1. Calculate the concentration, in mol dm–3, of solution KA2. Ans: 0.10 mol dm–3
2. Write a balanced ionic equation for the reaction between solution KA1 and KA2.
3. Calculate the concentration, in mol dm–3, of mineral acid HXO4, in solution KA1. Skill C (6 marks):
–3
Ans: 0.10 mol dm
4. If the concentration of mineral acid HXO4, in solution KA1 is 10.05 g dm–3,
calculate the relative molecular mass of HXO4. Ans: 100.5 g mol–1
5. Using the answer to Question 4, determine the relative atomic mass of
element X. Ans: 35.5 g mol–1
6. Suggest an identity for element X. Ans: Chlorine, Cl
Conclusion:
1. Mineral acid HXO4, in solution KA1 is …………….. mol dm–3.
2. The relative atomic mass of element X is ……………………… g mol–1
3. Therefore, KA1 is ………………….
