Postlab for Titration of an Antacid SD
A student performs this experiment but forgets to remove an air bubble from the N a O H buret valve. During the course of the titration, the air bubble disappeared.
Would the measured volume of N a O H added in the back-titration be incorrectly high, incorrectly low, or will the volume remain unchanged?
incorrectly high
A student performs this experiment but forgets to remove an air bubble from the N a O H buret valve. During the course of the titration, the air bubble did NOT disappear.
Would the measured volume of N a O H added in the back-titration be incorrectly high, incorrectly low, or will the volume remain unchanged?
remains unchanged
A student was performing this experiment with an antacid tablet which contained C a CO3 but forgot to heat the antacid solution prior to starting the back-titration. As sodium hydroxide was added the student noticed the formation of an insoluble white precipitate.
Would the presence of this precipitate cause the students experimentally determined volume of N a O H be incorrectly high or incorrectly low? Briefly explain.
Hint: Carbon dioxide reacts with water to form carbonic acid.
Incorrectly high, the solution becomes more acidic if not boiled gently
Use the following data to determine the percent mass of C a CO3 in an antacid tablet.
1.064 grams of antacid tablet dissolved
24.42 ml of 0.750 M HCl used to dissolved the tablet
4.02 mL of 1.00 M N a O H for the back-titration
