Experiment: 9

Title of the Experiment: Concentration units and molar solution of NaCl.

1. Introduction:
A 1 molar (M) solution will contain 1.0 GMW of a substance dissolved in water to make 1 liter of
the final solution. Hence, a 1M solution of NaCl contains 58.44 g

2. Apparatus and Chemicals:


o Weighing balance
o Volumetric flask
o Beaker
o Stirrer
o Stopper
o Pipette

3. Safety Information:

o Wear chemical-resistant gloves, preferably made of nitrile or neoprene, to protect your


hands.

o Put on safety goggles or a face shield to shield your eyes from splashes or spills.

o Wear a lab coat or a chemical-resistant apron to protect your clothing.

o Use closed-toe shoes and consider wearing chemical-resistant boots if working with
larger quantities of NaCl

4. Experimental Setup:

1M solution of NaCl can be prepared by measuring 58.44g of NaCl and placing this amount of salt in a 1L
Volumetric flask and then filling the flask with distilled water to the graduation mark.

o Weigh 58.44 g of NaCl


o Add it to a 1L volumetric flask
o Fill this flask till graduation mark

5. Experiment Findings:

0.1M solution of NaCl in 100mL


0.1*58.5 = 5.85
100mL = 5.85/1000*100 = 0.585g
Stock solution and required solution:
0.1M NaCl in 50mL, Stock solution 0.5
Stock required
C1VI C2V2
0.5*V1=0.1*50mL
V1= 0.1M*50mL/0.5
V1= 10 mL

6. Conclusion:

The volume of sodium chloride used is 10 ml

7. Possible errors and their mitigation:


Measurement errors: Errors in the concentration of the solution might result from inaccurate or
imprecise measurements of the solute or solvent. To reduce this error, it's essential to utilize
calibrated measuring equipment and adhere to the right measurement procedures.

Evaporation: If the solution is not adequately covered while being prepared, evaporation may
take place, resulting in a higher concentration than anticipated. Always cover the solution
containers to avoid this, and work quickly to reduce exposure time.

Variations in temperature: The volume and concentration of the solution can be impacted by
temperature changes. To reduce this mistake, solutions should ideally be prepared and
measured at a consistent temperature. If at all practicable, the correct temperature corrections
ought to be used.

8. Application of this activity to a real-world problem:

Molar solutions are frequently employed in chemical processes to regulate the concentrations of the
reactants. Scientists and researchers can guarantee that the reactants are present in the required
stoichiometric ratios, which is essential for producing the intended products, by creating solutions with
known molarities.

Molar solutions are necessary for a number of analytical procedures, including titrations. Until the
reaction between the two solutions is complete, a molar solution of a reagent is added to another
solution in titration studies. The concentration of the analytes in the sample solution can be calculated
using the molarity of the reagent solution and the volume needed for the reaction.

Pharmaceutical Preparations: To create medication formulations, pharmaceutical laboratories employ


molar solutions. To guarantee optimal dosing and drug efficacy, chemists and pharmaceutical scientists
must precisely monitor the concentration of active components. Molar solutions offer a dependable way
to accomplish this.
