A solution of dilute sulphuric acid and then calculate the concentration of acid within it. This concentration will be significantly larger than that of the acid within the acid rain but the same technique will be used to obtain the pH for acid rain

Acid rain In this experiment I am going to use the method of titration to analyse a solution of dilute sulphuric acid and then calculate the concentration of acid within it. This concentration will be significantly larger than that of the acid within the acid rain but the same technique will be used to obtain the pH for acid rain samples. From this I will be able to estimate the effect the acid rain has on the environment. Equipment & Chemicals * 250cm3 volumetric flask * 10cm3 pipette * Pipette filler * Burette * 25cm3 pipette * Methyl Orange Indicator * Weighing Boat * Dilute sulphuric acid (acid rain) * Anhydrous sodium carbonate * Weighing scales * Distilled Water * 100cm3 conical flask * White tile * Clamp * Clamp Stand * Glass Funnel * Glass Rod * 100cm3 Beaker * 100cm3 Conical Flask Before I start the experiment I need to know how much anhydrous sodium carbonate I will need. Below shows how I came to the figure of 2.65g: Number of...
