Acids and Bases

Aligned to Classic Chemistry Advanced Placement Laboratory

A solution of sodium hydroxide which is approximately 0.01M will be standardized with a solid acid, potassium hydrogen phthalate, to determine the exact molarity of the base. The standardized base will then be titrated against a monoprotic unknown acid to determine the molarity of the acid. A pH indicator and/or a pH meter will be used to determine the equivalence point.



Kit Includes:

2 X 25ml Hydrochloric acid, 1.0M

1 X 30ml Sodium hydroxide, 6.0M

1 X 5g Potassium hydrogen phthalate

1 X 25ml Phenolphthalein, 0.1%
