Finding out how much acid there is in a solution - Chemistry Coursework PLAN Aim: The purpose of this experiment is to find an accurate concentration of sulphuric acid (H SO ) using titration with anhydrous sodium carbonate (Na CO ). I am told that the concentration of sulphuric acid is between 0.05 mol dm , but the task is to find out the exact concentration. The followng equation shows a reaction between sulphuric acid and sodium carbonate solution. Na CO (aq) + H SO (aq) Na SO (aq) + CO (g) This equation is a neutralization reaction. 1 mole of sodium carbonate reacts with 1 mole of sulphuric acid (see equation). When reacting together, both solutions will have the same number of moles. From reliable sources, I have been able to determine which of the various indicators to use in the titration. I found that methyl orange was the most suitable due to...
