Activity 4 Name of solution : sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid Chemical equation : NaOH + HCl NaCl + H2O Procedure :

1. A pipette is used to transfer 25.0 cm 3 of sodium hydroxide solution to a conical flask. 2 to 3 drops
of phenolphthalein is added.

2. A burette is filled with hydrochloric acid and record the initial burette reading. 3. Titration is carried out carefully by slowly adding the acid into the conical flask and the flask is
shaken well.

4. The acid is added continuously until the indicator turns from pink to colourless. The final burette
reading is recorded.

5. The volume of acid used to neutralize 25.0 cm 3 of the alkali is determined. (let the volume be V cm 3 ) 6. 25.0 cm 3 of the same sodium hydroxide solution is pipetted into a conical flask. No indicator is
addeded.

7. From the burette, exactly V cm 3 of hydrochloric acid is added to the alkali and is shaken well. 8. The contents of the conical flask is poured into an evaporating dish. 9. The solution is heated gently to evaporate most of the water to produce a saturated solution. 10. The hot saturated salt solution is cooled for crystallization to occur. 11. The sodium chloride crystals is filtered, and the salt is rinsed with a little distilled water. 12. The crystals are dried by pressing them between filter papers

Enough distilled water is added to cover the crystals. The solution is gently heated and stirred with a glass rod. Water is added bit by bit until all the crystals are dissolved. Impurities are removed by filtration and filtrate is poured into an evaporating dish. The solution is heated gently to evaporate most of the water to produce a saturated solution. The hot saturated salt solution is cooled for crystallization to occur. The copper(II) nitrate crystals are filtered, and the salt is rinsed with a little distilled water. The crystals are dried by pressing them between filter papers
