Step-by-step solution for: Acid and Bases, Titration, pH Indicators Worksheets (3 Worksheets
Problem Overview:
The task involves determining the concentration of an unknown hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution using titration with a known concentration of sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The experiment details and apparatus labeling are provided, along with a table to complete.
---
Part A: Label the Apparatus
The diagram shows various pieces of laboratory equipment used in titration. We need to match the labels with the corresponding parts of the apparatus:
1. Burette: The vertical glass tube with a tap at the bottom, used to dispense the NaOH solution.
2. Retort Stand: The metal stand that holds the burette and conical flask.
3. Conical Flask: The flask where the HCl solution is placed.
4. Burette Clamp: The device that secures the burette to the retort stand.
5. White Tiles: The flat surface on which the conical flask is placed to provide contrast for observing color changes.
#### Correct Labels:
- Top left blue box: Burette
- Middle left blue box: Burette Clamp
- Bottom left blue box: Conical Flask
- Rightmost blue box: Retort Stand
- Bottom right blue box: White Tiles

Part B: Complete the Table
The table provides data from multiple titrations. We need to calculate the volume of NaOH used in each trial.
#### Given Data:
- Initial burette reading for the first trial: 1.00 mL
- Final burette reading for the first trial: 23.30 mL
#### Formula for Volume Used:
\[ \text{Volume of NaOH used} = \text{Final burette reading} - \text{Initial burette reading} \]
#### Step-by-Step Calculation:
1. First Trial (Gross):
- Final reading: 47.20 mL
- Initial reading: 25.10 mL
- Volume used:
\[
\text{Volume} = 47.20 - 25.10 = 22.10 \, \text{mL}
\]
2. Second Trial (I):
- Final reading: 23.40 mL
- Initial reading: 1.20 mL
- Volume used:
\[
\text{Volume} = 23.40 - 1.20 = 22.20 \, \text{mL}
\]
3. Third Trial (II):
- Final reading: 46.00 mL
- Initial reading: 24.00 mL
- Volume used:
\[
\text{Volume} = 46.00 - 24.00 = 22.00 \, \text{mL}
\]
#### Completed Table:
\[
\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
\text{Burette reading} & \text{Gross} & \text{I} & \text{II} & \text{III} \\
\hline
\text{Final reading} & 47.20 & 23.40 & 46.00 & - \\
\hline
\text{Initial reading} & 25.10 & 1.20 & 24.00 & - \\
\hline
\text{Volume NaOH used (ml)} & 22.10 & 22.20 & 22.00 & - \\
\hline
\end{array}
\]

Part C: Calculate the Concentration of HCl
#### Known Information:
- Volume of HCl: 25.00 mL
- Molarity of NaOH: 0.10 M
- Average volume of NaOH used:
\[
\text{Average volume} = \frac{22.10 + 22.20 + 22.00}{3} = 22.10 \, \text{mL}
\]
#### Balanced Chemical Equation:
\[
\text{HCl} + \text{NaOH} \rightarrow \text{NaCl} + \text{H}_2\text{O}
\]
From the equation, 1 mole of HCl reacts with 1 mole of NaOH.
#### Moles of NaOH Used:
\[
\text{Moles of NaOH} = \text{Molarity of NaOH} \times \text{Volume of NaOH (in L)}
\]
\[
\text{Moles of NaOH} = 0.10 \, \text{M} \times \frac{22.10}{1000} \, \text{L} = 0.00221 \, \text{moles}
\]
#### Moles of HCl:
Since the reaction is 1:1, moles of HCl = moles of NaOH:
\[
\text{Moles of HCl} = 0.00221 \, \text{moles}
\]
#### Concentration of HCl:
\[
\text{Molarity of HCl} = \frac{\text{Moles of HCl}}{\text{Volume of HCl (in L)}}
\]
\[
\text{Molarity of HCl} = \frac{0.00221}{\frac{25.00}{1000}} = \frac{0.00221}{0.025} = 0.0884 \, \text{M}
\]
---
Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{0.0884 \, \text{M}}
\]
