Chemistry Coursework Aim: The aim of this experiment is it to find out the concentration of Limewater by performing a titration with hydrochloric acid which has concentration exactly 2.00M. Reasons for dilution: * I am provided with 250.00 cm3 of limewater, which has contains approximately 1g dm3 of calcium hydroxide (lime water). * There is also hydrochloric acid, which has a concentration of 2.00mol dm3. * In order for me to determine the exact concentration of the limewater, the hydrochloric acid must be titrated against it. * The hydrochloric acid is concentrated, and a very little amount will be needed to neutralise a flask full of limewater. Therefore, it will be necessary to dilute the hydrochloric acid. The general equation for a neutralisation reaction is: * Acid + Metal Hydroxide --> Metal Salt + Water I can use an appropriate value of limewater concentration to calculate the approximate value of 2.00mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid that will...
