TOPIC: Volumetric analysis
AIM: To determine the unknown concentration of sodium hydroxide solution
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
MATERIALS/APPARATUS:
2 beakers (100 mL)
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH)
1 Burette (50 mL)
2 250 mL Erlenmeyer Flask
Wash bottle
Distilled water
burette clamp stand
Methyl orange indicator
White tile
0.2 M Sulphuric acid solution
METHOD:
1. A clean burette was rinsed with distilled water then with acid solution.
2. The burette was mounted on clamp stand.
3. Burette was then filled with acid solution to the zero mark (ensure no air bubbles are
present).
4. 20 mL of the basic solution was pipetted into a clean conical flask
5. 2-3 drops of methyl orange was placed into the flask with acid.
6. Titration was left to occur (allow the acid solution from the burette to run into the base
solution in the flask) until the first permanent colour change was observed.
7. Steps 4-6 was repeated three times to ensure that the titer value differs no more than 0.1
mL.

TOPIC: Redox titration
Bibi Assiya Hamid Chemistry Unit 1 Lab# Skill: Date
AIM: To standardized a solution of potassium permanganate.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Potassium manganate (VII) (potassium permanganate, KMnO4) solution can be standardised by
titration against a standard solution of ammonium iron (II) sulfate solution. The iron (II) solution
is measured by use of a pipette, whilst the potassium manganite (VII) solution is placed in a
burette. The titration is carried out under acidic conditions, so the pipetted Fe+2 solution is
acidified by addition of about 10 cm3 of dilute sulfuric acid before commencement of the
titration. The reaction is represented by the equation:
MnO + 8H+ + 5Fe+2 Mn+2 + 5Fe+3 + 4H2O
No indicator is needed, as the manganite (VII) ions are decolourised in the reaction until the end-
point, when a pale pink colour persists.
MATERIALS/APPARATUS:
Potassium manganite (VII) solution
0.1 M ammonium iron (II) sulfate solution
1.5 M sulfuric acid solution
Deionised (or distilled) water
Safety glasses
Pipette (25 cm3)

TOPIC: Testing for Vitamin C.
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: With the covid pandemic present, doctors are advising that
sanitation is important as well as strengthening our immune system with increase intake of
Bibi Assiya Hamid Chemistry Unit 1 Lab# Skill: Date
Vitamin C. As the health officer, you are required to advise the general populace on the better
source of Vitamin C.
HYPOTHESIS: Compared to emergency vitamin C powder, vitamin C tablets are the best
source of vitamin C because it retains most of the vitamin C from its source.
AIM: To compare and determine the source of Vitamin C that will best serve to strengthen the
immune system against the covid- 19 virus.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Vitamin C is a vitamin found in various foods and sold as a dietary supplement. It is involved in
many body functions including; Formation of collagen, absorption of iron, the proper functioning
of the immune system, wound healing and the maintenance of cartilage bones and healing
vitamin c is an antioxidant. Antioxidants like vitamin c acts as a first target of reactive molecules
like oxygen or iodide. This protects molecules critical to our health .The vitamin protects iodine
from reacting with starch. Once all the vitamin c has reacted any additional iodine reacts with
starch and blue black color is seen.
MATERIALS/ APPARATUS:
● Vitamin C Tablet
● Emergency vitamin C powder
● Burette
● 6 test tubes
● Pipette
● Knife
● Beaker
● Test tube rack
● Starch solution
● Iodine solution
METHOD:
1. Gather all equipment’s and ensure they are washed.
Bibi Assiya Hamid Chemistry Unit 1 Lab# Skill: Date
2. Crush the 2 tablets separately after weighing them.
3. Dissolve tablets and emergency powder in two different volumetric flasks with 200ml of
distilled water.
4. Mix starch solution and iodine solution in two different conical flasks.
5. Zero burette with iodine solution.
6. Combine 5ml of the dissolved emergency vitamin C powder with distilled and starch
solution in a volumetric flask.
7. Burette iodine solution into the volumetric flask swirling until the first permanent blue
black color change appears through out the entire solution.
8. Record the initial and final titration graduation. Repeat two more times with the same
mixture. And then three more times, using the crushed vitamin C tablets instead of
emergency vitamin C powder.
9. Record results found.
