Title : QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS II Aim : To neutralize an alkaline solution Apparatus : 0.1M sulphuric acid , sodium hydroxide , screened methyl orange , burette , pipette , conical flasks , retort stand , funnel beakers , Directions : Fill the burette to an appropriate level with the acid making sure the tip is filled . Pipette 25 ml of the alkali into the conical flask and add 3 drops of the indicator . While swirling the flask add acid from the burette slowly until a faint purple colour is observed . Repeat the procedure three times to get two results that do not differ by more than 0.1 ml . Questions : What was the volume of acid required to neutralize 25 ml of the alkali? What was the number of moles of acid present in the neutralization volume? What was the volume of alkali used? What was the number of moles of alkali used? What was the molar concentration of the alkali?
