Experiment No: 5
The given solution contains 7g of NaOH and NaNO3 dissolved per liter.
Determine the amount/liter of each component in the mixture using 0.1M
HNO3 solution
Introduction
In this experiment a solution having a mixture of NAOH and NaNO3 is titrated against
0.1M HNO; solution using phenolphthalein as indicator. The NaOH present in the mixture
reacts with HNO; to form NANO3 and H2O. The reaction between NaOH and HNO3 is
represented by Equation 1.
NaOH + HN03
- NANO3 + H20
· (1)
In this experiment, the students will use a pipette to transfer a known volume of
solution containing mixture of NaOH and NaNO3 (unknown concentration) into the conical
flask. The burette is filled the HNO3 solution (known concentration). The indicator used in
the experiment is phenolphthalein which is pink in solutions of bases and colorless in
solutions of acid. Hence the color of the solution changes from pink to colorless at the end
point of the titration.
The amount of NaOH is calculated first. The amount of NaNO3 is determined by
subtracting the amount of NaOH from the total amount of NaOH and NaNO3 in the mixture.

Transcribed Image Text:Procedure (Steps to do the experiment)
1. Add 10 ml of the solution containing NaOH and NaNO, to a conical flask using a pipette
and add a 2-3 drops of phenolphthalein indicator. The solution turns pink in color.
2. Fill the burette with the acid (HNO3) upto the zero mark (use a beaker to collect the
excess acid).
3. Add HN03 to the solution in the conical flask in small volumes swirling after each
addition. Continue until the pink color of the solution turns colorless and record this
reading of the burette.
5. Measure the volume of the acid used.
6. Repeat the same procedure for second and third time.
