Neutralization of Oxalic Acid - Acid-Alkali Titration Aim The objective of this experiment was to determine the number of moles of water of crystallization in solid crystals of oxalic acid. Theoretical Background Neutralization is a process in which an acid reacts with a base to form a salt and water. It occurs between hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions in an aqueous solution. A suitable indicator can be used which changes color at the end point of the reaction when the pH of the solution corresponds to the presence of the appropriate salt and water only [1]. Titration is a method of volumetric analysis in which a volume of one reagent (the titrant - oxalic acid in this experiment) is added to a known volume of another reagent slowly from a burette until an end point is reached. The volume added before the end point is reached is noted. If one of the solutions has a known...
