Question 28 (5 marks)

A student attempted to determine the concentration of a hydrochloric acid solution. The following steps were performed.

Step 1. A conical flask was rinsed with water.

Step 2. A 25.0 mL pipette was rinsed with water.

Step 3. The student filled the pipette with a standard sodium carbonate solution to the level shown in the diagram.

Gradation mark

Sodium carbonate solution

Step 4. The standard sodium carbonate solution in the pipette was transferred to the conical flask. The student ensured that all of the sodium carbonate solution was transferred to the conical flask by blowing through the pipette. Three drops of an appropriate indicator were added to the conical flask.

Step 5. A burette was rinsed with the hydrochloric acid solution and then filled with the acid. The student then carried out a titration to determine the concentration of the hydrochloric acid solution.

In steps 2, 3 and 4 above the student did not follow acceptable procedures.
