Planning Exercise: Prove sulphuric acid is dibasic

... Bernadette Walsh April 2008 Planning Exercise You are required to plan two different experiments that would enable you to prove that sulphuric acid is dibasic. One of your experiments should involve a titration and the other should involve collection of a gas. Your planning must be based on the assumption that you are provided with the following: -Aqueous sulphuric acid of concentration 1.00 moldm-3 -Any chemicals (other than sulphuric acid) and equipment that you require from your school/college laboratory. Your plan should include the following: - Relevant chemical knowledge and understanding from the as part of your chemistry course, including balanced equations; - Detailed procedures that provide full instructions about how to obtain accurate results; - A diagram of the apparatus used in the gas collection experiment - Suitable quantities of chemicals to use in both of your experiments and calculations to show how you worked out these quantities; - A specimen calculation to show how the basicity of sulphuric acid would be
