Experiment 1
Standardization of Hydrochloric acid (HCl) by Sodium Carbonate
(Na2CO3) (0.1 N)
Equation:
HCl + Na 2CO 3 NaHCO3 + NaCl
am
HCl + NaHCO3 NaCl + CO 2 H 2O
Im
2HCl + Na2CO 3 2NaCl + CO 2 + H 2O
Procedure:
d

1- Fill the burette with HCl until zero mark.
2- Transfer 10 ml of Na2CO3 using pipette to the conical flask.
as
3- Add 2 drops of M.O. and swirl to mix well. A yellow color will appear.

4- Titrate against HCl taken in burette drop by drop; shake well until the color

Calculation:
(N1 x V1) HCl = (N2 x V2) Na2CO3
(N1 x V1) HCl = (0.1 x 10) Na2CO3
N HCl = -------- gm. eqwt / L
