    The document describes the principles and procedure for standardizing and assaying sodium hydroxide (NaOH) through titration. It involves a neutralization reaction between NaOH as the strong base and potassium biphthalate as the primary standard weak acid. The endpoint is indicated by a color change from colorless to faint pink. Titration is a precise method for determining the concentration of a dissolved substance in a solution through a neutralization reaction between an acid and base to form salt and water.

    PRINCIPLES INVOLVED

    The preparation and standardization of Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) involves a neutralization reaction
    between a strong base and a weak acid. It involves a direct titration using potassium biphthalate as
    the primary standard. The indicator used is phenolphthalein TS. Its endpoint is indicated by a change
    in the color of the solution from colorless to faint pink. The procedure is best performed at room
    temperature.

    Titration is a precise way often used in standardization. In other words, it is a method used to
    determine the concentration of the dissolved substance in a solution. When an acid reacts with a
    base, salt and water are produced as shown: HCl(acid) + NaOH(base) ➝ Na2SO4(salt) + H2O This is
    known as an acid-base neutralization reaction as HCl is neutralizing NaOH to produce salt and water

    Object. -Assay of Sodium Hydroxide.

    Materials Required. -1.5 Gm. sodium hydroxide.

    Procedure

    1. "Dissolve about 1.5 Gm. of Sodium Hydroxide, accurately weighed, in about 40 cc. of recently
    boiled and cooled distilled water.

    Cool the solution to 15°C. and 'titrate with normal sulfuric acid, using

    phenolphthalein T.S. as the indicator. At the discharge of the pink color

    of the indicator, record the volume of acid solution required."

    2. "Add 3 drops of methyl orange T.S., and continue the titration until

    the production of a permanent pink color. Each cubic centimeter of total

    sulfuric acid consumed is equivalent to 0.0400 Gm. of NaOH. Each cubic

    centimeter difference between the number of cubic centimeters of normal

    sulfuric acid consumed in the methyl orange and phenolphthalein titrations

    is equivalent to 0.1060 Gm. of Na 2COa."


    Chemical reaction/involved

    Problem solving (using Primary standard)

    1. Titration reveals that 11.6 mL of 3.0 M sulfuric acid are required to neutralize the sodium
    hydroxide in 25.00 mL of NaOH solution. What is the molarity of the NaOH solution?

    SOLUTIONS

    H2SO4(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → 2H2O(l) + Na2SO4(aq)

    = 2.8 M NaOH

    A 0.128 g sample of KHP (HKC8H4O4) required 28.54 mL of NaOH solution to reach a


    phenolphthalein endpoint. Calculate the molarity of the NaOH.

    HKC8H4O4 + NaOH -----> NaKC8H4O4 + H2O

    2. (0.128 g KHP)(1 mol / 204.23 g KHP ) = 6.267 x 10-4 mol KHP

    (6.267 x 10-4 mol KHP)(1 mol NaOH / 1 mol KHP) = 6.267 x 10-4 mol NaOH

    6.267 x 10-4 mol NaOH / 0.02854 L NaOH = 0.0220 M NaOH
