Titration lab sheet: day 2 (alternate)‼️‼️‼️

See explanation below

Explanation:

As the problem states, this is an acid base titration, and both titrations are already saying that they were both neutralized. When an acid base titration is neutralized, means that it reach it's equivalence point. In this point, we can say that the moles of the acid are the same moles of the base. In other words the following:

n₁ = n₂   (1)

1 is the acid and 2 is the base.

You should note that the above expression is real when the mole ratio is 1:1. When it's not, we need to see the mole ratio and then, adjust the expression to that.

the moles can also be expressed as:

n = M * V

Replacing in the first expression we have:

M₁V₁ = M₂V₂  (2)

With this expression we can calculate either the volume or concentration of the compounds given. Let's do this by parts:

Titration 1:

In this case we have KOH and H₂SO₄, so the balanced reaction would be:

2KOH + H₂SO₄ > K₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

As you can see, we have 2 moles of KOH and 1 mole of the acid, so the mole ratio is 2:1, therefore, expression (2) becomes:

M₁V₁ = 2M₂V₂

From here, we solve for concentration of the acid (M₁)

M₁ = 2M₂V₂ / V₁

Replacing the given values we have:

M₁ = 2 * 25 * 0.15 / 15

Now, how can we fill the chart? Is easy, we just put the obtained values:

For the acid it would be:

Solution: H₂SO₄;   Molar ratio: 1;    Volume: 15 mL;  Concentration: 0.5 M

For the base:

Solution: KOH;   Molar ratio: 2;    Volume: 25 mL;    Concentration: 0.15 M

Titration 2:

In this case we do the same thing as before but with different data. First the equation:

HBr + NaOH > NaBr + H₂O

The equation is already balanced and we can see a mole ratio of 1:1, so we can use expression (2) and solve for concentration of the base instead:

M₁V₁ = M₂V₂

M₂ = M₁V₁ / V₂

M₂ = 30 * 0.250 / 20

The chart can be filled the same way as in titration 1:

For the acid it would be:

Solution: HBr;   Molar ratio: 1;    Volume: 30 mL;  Concentration: 0.25 M

For the base:

Solution: NaOH;   Molar ratio: 1;    Volume: 20 mL;    Concentration: 0.375 M

answer: enthalpy

explanation:

for a exothermic reaction, the energy is released i.e. the energy of the products is lower than the energy of the reactants.

= enthaply

= energy of products

= energy of reactants

as , thus comes out to be negative. negative value of enthalpy shows that the reaction is exothermic.

it would be a gas formation
