Question
2A student
used a pipette to add 25 cm³ of sodium hydroxide of unknown concentration to a conical flask. The
student carried out a titration to find out the volume of 0.1 mol/dm3 sulfuric acid needed to neutralise
the sodium hydroxide. The following is the table of results obtained.
Titration
Volume of sulfuric
acid used/cm³
1
27.85
27.30
27.25
27.10
27.30
a. Write down a balanced equation for the reaction between sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid.
b. Describe the titration experimental procedure (details of washings are expected)
c. Determine the average titre value and explain your choice of titre values in calculating the average.
d. Determine the concentration of sodium hydroxide.
e. If instead of sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid of the same concentration was used what would
you
expect the average titre value to be and why?
