<strong>Acid</strong>-<strong>Base</strong> Concepts<br />

Activity #5 – <strong>Acid</strong>s & <strong>Base</strong>s<br />

Questions to be investigated<br />

How can we find out the concentration of an acid or base using a titration?<br />

Objectives<br />

Students will use a titration to perform a neutralization reaction. (C5.7B)<br />

Materials<br />

Goggles, Aprons 1 - 100 ml Burette Burette Clamp<br />

1 M NaOH 1 M HCl 1 M H2SO4<br />

1 M K(OH) Distilled water 50 ml Beaker<br />

250 ml beaker Bromthymol Blue Hydrion (pH) paper<br />

Masking tape Funnel Ring stand<br />

Safety Concerns<br />

Safety goggles should be worn at all times. <strong>Acid</strong>s and bases can be irritating to<br />

eyes and skin. Burettes are expensive and should be used with care.<br />

Real-World Connections<br />

Many companies, hospitals, universities etc. use acid base titrations to analyze<br />

the presence of compounds in various consumer products.<br />
