Analytical Chemistry Lab Report

This laboratory report details an experiment to determine the total alkalinity of soda ash through titration. The experiment involves titrating soda ash with hydrochloric acid and using an indicator to find the endpoint. The report provides the materials used, procedures followed, data recorded from 3 titration runs, an analysis of the results, and a discussion of the chemical reactions and calculations. In conclusion, no carbon dioxide bubbles were observed during titration as expected, but the experiment was still successful in obtaining the same color change at the endpoint for the 3 components tested.

Lab Experiment: Determination of Total Alkalinity of Soda Ash, E14

State Standard
Lab Date: October 7, 2021
Class: ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY_BSPE-2A
Period: CHEM 21/L Analytical Chemistry 1:00-4:30 MTh

Introduction:
What do you expect to this experiment? This experiment involve titrations,
solving using titration equation. For finding M HCL, percentage of sodium carbonate and
balancing chemical reactions before performing the experiment. Next is, measuring
components needed for the experiment. The materials needed for this experiment and
to be measured should be pure sodium carbonate, Soda Ash, water, and metal orange
indicator. In measurement some tools and equipment are to be used like, small beaker,
volumetric flask, Analytical balance and typical Buret. Then, we able to gather the data
and we can determine the total Alkalinity of Soda Ash in 3 runs of titrations.

Hypothesis:
If the titration already perform, then we might expect to see that the Carbon
dioxide gas CO2 (g) released. However, no bubbles indicating CO2 (g) were released
during titration. Lastly, the outcome of the experiment in 3 runs of titration should be
yellow-pitches orange color.

Materials:
● 3 grams Soda Ash unknown #55
● 3 grams Sodium
● Water
● Metal orange indicator
● Small beaker
● Volumetric flask
● Analytical balance
● Typical buret
Procedures:
1. Put the soda ash in oven for 2 hours in 100 degree Celsius to make sure it is dry.
2. Measure accurately and do the titration
3. Took 4 mL of 6 molar HCL, add 200 moles of water
4. To mix 0.5 grams of Khp (Potassium hydrogen kelete) in 50 mL of water and add
4 drops of metal orange indicator
5. Repeat 3 times to complete the 3 titration and gather the data and see the
outcome/result.

Data Recording:
Data results of Titration
Run 1 Run 2
Vi HCL mL 0. 10 0.09
Vf HCL mL 22.98 19.03
M Na2CO3 g 0.1230 0.1011
M Unknown g 0. 1282 0.2081
Vi HCL mL 0.01 0.42
Vf HCL mL 10.68 17.98

Analysis:
After titration, we get the yellow-pitches orange color.
In the three titrations (Sodium Carbonate, Water and Soda Ash). The pure
sodium carbonate, the initial volume is (Vi= 0.2 mL) and the final volume should be (Vf=
20.59 mL). The water is perfect because it used to check DI Water only and it measure
(20.61 mL ) Last titration is with soda ash unknown #55, then the initial velocity is
(Vi=0.18) and the final velocity should be (Vf=19.00).
Discussion:
In able to perform the titration we have calculations needed and measurements.
Make about 0.1M HCL from 6M HCL, 4mL of 6M HCL to about 200mL of DI water. The
reaction that we’re going to do is, the 2HCL going to react with Sodium carbonate
(Na2CO3) to make it balance we need 2 moles of HCL to react with 1 mole of Na2CO3
and this balance reaction gives to 2NaCL + H2O+CO2
2HCL + Na2Co3 ⇌ 2NaCl+H2O+CO2

For this titration:


The titration equation is,

mHCLVHCl mNa 2CO 3/ MmNa2 CO 3


CHCl = CNa 2CO 3

To find the percentage of Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) in the unknown. Simply take
that the mass of sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) divided by the mass of the unknown that
we weigh out multiply by 100.

mNa 2 CO 3
x 100
M unknown

Conclusion:
We might expect to see that the Carbon dioxide CO2 (g) released.
However, no bubbles indicating CO2 (g) were released during titration. Therefore we
conclude that after titrations there is no bubbles of Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas forming in
the flask, again the concentration of CHL is very small and not enough, to release CO2.
At the end, the experiment is successful. That the 3 titrations and 3 components had the
same yellow-pitches orange color.
