Acidic Solutions INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this assignment is to find the accurate concentration of a solution of sulphuric acid acid of which concentration is thought to be between 0.05 and 0.15moldm-3 . I am provided with solid anhydrous sodium carbonate and a range of indicators. I have to plan and carry out an experiment to determine the accurate concentration of the sulphuric acid in order to meet the requirement for the assessment of my experimental skills in unit 2852/02 courswork. BASIC PLAN: * I will make a standard solution of sodium carbonate and calculate its concentration. * After making the sodium carbonate solution of known concentration, I will use it to determine the concentration of the sulphuric acid. This will be possible through an acid-alkali titration. Sodium hydroxide is a weak alkali and will neutralise the acid in the reaction to produce salt, water and carbon dioxide. The data obtained from this quantitaive analyses...
