Procedure:
A. Standardization of NaOH solution
a. Weigh out accurately about 1.60 g of oxalic acid dihydrate crystals (H2C2O42H2O) in a
weighing bottle. Using a 250 cm3 beaker, dissolve the acid in distilled water, then transfer
the solution completely to a 250 cm3 volumetric flask and make up to the mark with
distilled water, shake well.
b. Fill a burette with the standard oxalic acid solution.
By pipette take 25.0 cm3 of the given alkali solution, run it into a conical flask, add two or
three drops of phenolphthalein solution. Make a note of the burette reading and run in the
acid from the burette. The first 15 to 20 cm3 of the acid may be run in 5 cm3 at a time
without fear of overshooting the end-point. Then run in 1 cm3 at a time, shaking after each
addition until the solution becomes colourless. Note the burette reading again. This is a
trial titration and its results is not used in the calculation.
c. Now repeat the titration with further portions of 25.0 cm3 of the alkali solution until two
readings are obtained which agree to 0.10 cm3.
d. Calculate the concentration of the oxalic acid solution that has been made up, then, using
the titration results, calculate the concentration of the alkali.
