Кислотно-основное титрование с метиловым оранжевым

Титрование слабого основания сильной кислотой

Titrations Intermediate (High School) 40 мин ~$12,00

Цель

Определить концентрацию раствора карбоната натрия путём его титрования соляной кислотой с метиловым оранжевым — индикатором, подходящим для кислых конечных точек.

Предпосылки

Methyl orange changes color at pH 3.1-4.4 (red to yellow), making it suitable for titrations where the equivalence point is in the acidic range. Sodium carbonate reacts with HCl in a two-step process: first forming NaHCO₃, then NaCl + H₂O + CO₂. Methyl orange detects the second equivalence point.

Предупреждения по безопасности

  • HCl is corrosive — avoid skin contact
  • Wear safety goggles throughout
  • Methyl orange is an azo dye — avoid contact with skin

Материалы

  • Sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃) (100 mL)
    Unknown concentration
  • Hydrochloric acid (HCl) (100 mL)
    0.1M standardized
  • Methyl orange indicator (5 mL)
    0.1% solution
  • Distilled water (200 mL)

Оборудование

50 mL burette Burette stand and clamp 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask 25 mL pipette Pipette filler White tile

Процедура

1

Rinse the burette with HCl solution, then fill it to the 0 mL mark.

3 мин
2

Pipette 25.0 mL of sodium carbonate solution into the Erlenmeyer flask.

2 мин
3

Add 2-3 drops of methyl orange indicator. The solution should appear yellow (alkaline).

1 мин
4

Add HCl slowly while swirling. Watch for the color change from yellow through orange.

8 мин
5

Near the endpoint, add drop by drop until the solution changes from yellow to a persistent orange/salmon color.

5 мин
6

Record the volume of HCl used. Repeat for concordant results.

15 мин
7

Calculate the concentration of Na₂CO₃ considering the 1:2 stoichiometry (Na₂CO₃ + 2HCl → 2NaCl + H₂O + CO₂).

5 мин

Ожидаемые результаты

The endpoint shows a clear transition from yellow to a persistent orange/salmon color. The volume ratio should confirm the 1:2 molar ratio of carbonate to acid.

Уборка

Neutralize waste solutions. Rinse all glassware with distilled water. Drain and rinse the burette.
