AcidBase Titration Lab
INTRODUCTION
:
The purpose of this acidbase titration lab was to determine the molar concentration of two acid solutions by performing titrations with a strong base, NaOH, of known concentration. The pH of the solution was monitored and graphed with a pH meter over the course of each titration. The pH graph was used to find the equivalence points of both reactions, allowing the calculation of the concentrations of both acids. The K value for acetic acid was also calculated, using the a
HendersonHasselbach equation and the halfway point that was identified on the pH graph.

QUALITATIVE DATA:
The solutions used in this lab were all originally colorless. As the NaOH solution was added to the acetic and hydrochloric acids, no changes in either solution were observed. RAW QUANTITATIVE DATA:
