Running head: CHEM 1211 K Final Lab Report 1 Final Lab Report Brianna Tucker November 28, 2023 Tuesday 11 –2 Unknown Number: P333-1043-CF-23 Ethoxy Benzoic Acid
II. INTRODUCTION The goal of the lab was to show the components and procedures for identifying an unknown acid using titration, melting point, and pKa measurments. The products demonstrated the sequence of observations that must be performed in order to determine the identification of the acid. We were able to normalize NaOH using KHP and determine molarity, proton transfer, and variation using titration. Using a heating block, we measured the melting point by melting down the unknown. Finally, the pH values (also obtained by NaOH titration) were digitalized and graphed versus % ethanol using pKa analysis. Titration is the gradual addition of NaOH to our acid-containing solution using a 50mL burette. When the equivelance point is achieved, the aaddition of a base neatralizes the acid and allows us to do stiochiometry. In a specific reaction, equivalent weight is the amount of one substance that perfectly interacts with, or is equal to, the combining value of an arbitrarily set amount of another material. PKa is a quantitative measure of acid strength determined by analyzing pH and ethanol percentage data. The computer search
was the culmination of all these investigations, allowing us to compare our findings to common substances. III. INDIVIDUAL EXPERIMENTS BY SUBTITLE 3.1. Melting point determinations inserted a 2-3 mm sample into a capillary tube with a thin wall and a sealed end. then waited for the sample on the glass plate to dry out or turn powdery. To make sure the sample was at the bottom of the tube, I next dropped the tube into a longer tube. After that, insert the tube into the melting pint machine. Finally, when it approached the melting point, the temperature increased quickly before slowing down. 3.3 Determination of equivalent weight First, it was established that organic acid is soluble in a 3:1 solution of ethanol and water. The sample was then dissolved in a mixture of 75% ethanol and 25% water, along with a drop of phenolphthalein, before being titrated with NaOH. then kept an eye on the solution as it dripped until it was fully pink. Finally, after recording the information and calculating the equivalent weight of the unknown using the titration data. 3.4 Computer search

KHP was tipped three times. Next, the equivalent weight was computed after the titration was complete. Afterward, she walked over to the computer and searched her lab notebook for the melting point lab. The name of the organic acid was then found by typing in the melting point and the equivalent weight. 3.5 Titration curve and pKa determination Initially, I gathered the necessary tools, then I grabbed PH 7 and PH 4. Before beginning the titration, the gadget was then checked to make sure it was reliable and accurate. I gathered all the necessary solutions and combined the organic acid with them. Titration was started after which the PH-measuring instrument was set up. After monitoring for when the PH starts to spark up and reach 12, I finally logged all the changes for every 0.5 to 1.0 added to the mixed solution's flask. IV.

DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION Enthoxy Benzoic Acid is my unidentified acid. The melting points of an equal weight of the unknown acid were quite close, with a diffence of less than two units. The pKa was somewhat wrong; there may have been an error in the excel computations. Despite the absence of a possible human mistake, it may be determined that my own unknown acid was properly exposed as Ethoxy Benzoic Acid. VI. REFRENCES
