Analysing an acidic solution Introduction- when metal is extracted from its ore, sulphur dioxide is produced. It is converted to sulphuric(IV) acid (H2SO4). I have a sample of the solution which has a concentration between 0.05 and 0.15 moldm-3. Aim- In this experiment I am going to find out the accurate concentration of sulphuric acid in a solution via the titration process. Apparatus- * Sulphuric acid (between 0.05 and 0.15 mol dm-3) * 10cm3 measuring cylinder * 250cm3 conical flask * 250cm3 volumetric flask * Burette * 100cm3 beakers (x2) * 25cm3 graduated pipette * Pipette filler * Filter funnel * Anhydrous sodium carbonate * Weighing boat * Glass rod * Methyl Orange Indicator. Indicator- in order to get the best possible results I have to choose a suitable indicator for the experiment, I have come to the conclusion that methyl orange will be best because it works well between a strong acid and a weak alkali (which is what I am using). The indicator...
