NEUTRALIZATION REACTIONS Acids and bases are neutralized as they

react with one another. Often called “titration” Reactants: Acid and a base Products: Water and a salt

Example: HCl neutralizes KOHHCl + KOH --> H2O + KCl

TITRATION (NEUTRALIZATION) REACTIONS IN THE LAB

•The image shows a flask containing an unknown concentration acid and a buret of known concentration base. •The buret is marked in mL, so you can monitor the amount of base that you are adding to the acid.•An indicator has been added to the acid so that a color change will occur when the acid’s pH reaches 7. This will signal that the neutralization reaction is complete.•Simple stoichiometry can then be done to calculate the unknown concentration of the acid.

CALCULATING THE UNKNOWN CONCENTRATION

A volume of 9.0 mL of 0.70M NH4OH neutralizes a 35 mL sample of HClO4 solution. What is the concentration of HClO4?NH4OH + HClO4 H2O + NH4ClO4

• Use the Molarity equation with 9.0 mL and 0.7 M to calculate 0.0063 moles of NH4OH.

• Convert to moles of HClO4: 0.0063 mol NH4OH 1mol HClO4 = 0.0063 mol HClO4 1 mol NH4OH• Finally, use the Molarity equation with 0.0063 mol

HClO4 and 35 mL to calculate the concentration of HClO4. 0.18 M HClO4

TRICKY TITRATIONSNotice the

subtle differences in color of

the solutions

in the photo.

In the titration set-up, you see that you’ll be adding the known into the unknown. You are

looking for a color change in the flask to tell you when to STOP adding the known. If you add just ONE DROP too much, then you’ll have to begin

your experiment over again as you’ll have passed the neutralization point.

ADD MORE STOP! START OVER

CALCULATING THE VOLUME OF THE KNOWN In order to avoid having to start over, you can

calculate the theoretical volume of known to allow to drop from the buret into the flask.

Example: pg. 591 #43A 100.0mL sample of 0.50M HCl is titrated with

0.10M NaOH. What volume of the NaOH is required to reach the endpoint of the titration?

HCl + NaOH H2O + NaCl Use the Molarity equation with 100 mL and 0.50 M HCl to

calculate 0.05 moles HCl. Convert moles HCl to moles NaOH. 0.05 moles HCl 1 mole NaOH = 0.05 moles NaOH 1 mole HCl Use the Molarity equation with 0.05 moles NaOH and 0.1

M NaOH to calculate 0.5 Liters.
