1) Title: VI Standardization of Sulphuric acid 2) Aim/Objective: To determine the molarity of a given sample of Sulphuric acid by using titration 3) Theory: A volumetric analysis is a method used to find out the amount of solute in a solution. It involves preparation of a primary standard, which is a solution of known molarity, and titration. When choosing a good primary standard, the requirements are that it should be cheap, stable in atmosphere and should not be hygroscopic to prevent the loss of solution. Also, it should have a high purity and high molar mass to prevent serious weighing error. In this experiment, sodium carbonate is chosen to be the primary standard, because it suits all the aforementioned criteria. Methyl orange should be used as the indicator, because in this experiment, a strong acid Sulphuric acid and a weak alkali sodium carbonate were involved. The pH of the resulting...
