Analysis and Calculation:
Part (A): Ammonium chloride
After measuring the pH of ammonium chloride solution, 1 mol/dm3 by electronic pH
meter, the pH value obtained was 5.27.
Equation for hydrolysis of ammonium chloride:
NH4+
(aq) + H2O(l) NH3(aq) + H3O+(aq)
Therefore, Ka(NH4+) = [NH3][H3O+]/[NH4
+]
pH = 5.27
-lg[H3O+] = 5.27
[H3O+] = 5.37 x 10-6 mol/dm3
NH4+
(aq) + H2O(l) NH3(aq) + H3O+(aq)
[Initial](mol/dm3) 1.0 0 0
[Equilibrium](mol/dm3) 1 - 5.37 x 10-6 5.37 x 10-6 5.37 x 10-6
[NH3] = 5.37 x 10-6 mol/dm3
[NH4+] = (1.0 – 5.37 x 10-6 ) mol/dm3
≈ 1.0 mol/dm3
[Cl-] = 1.0 mol/dm3
![Page 5: Exp 3 Repaired)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081804/5468cb4fb4af9fde078b4822/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
pOH = 14 – pH
= 14 – 5.27
= 8.73
-lg[OH-] = 8.73
[OH-] = 1.86 x 10-9 mol/dm3
Ka(NH4+) = [NH3][H3O+]/[NH4
+]
= 2.88 x 10-11 mol/dm3
Ka = cα2, c = concentration of NH4+, α = dissociation degree
α = 5.37 x 10-6
Part (B): Sodium Salts
Sodium acetate salt-
pH = 8.95
-lg[H3O+] = 8.95
[H3O+] = 1.12 x 10-9 mol/dm3
Kw = [H3O+][OH-] = 1.00 x 10-14
Therefore, [OH-] = 1.00 x 10-14/1.12 x 10-9 mol/dm3
= 8.93 x 10-6 mol/dm3
Therefore,
CH3COO- + H2O CH3COOH OH-
[Initial](mol/dm3) 1.0 0 0
[Equilibrium](mol/dm3) 1 - 8.93 x 10-6 8.93 x 10-6 8.93 10-6
![Page 6: Exp 3 Repaired)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081804/5468cb4fb4af9fde078b4822/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Degree of hydrolysis of acetate ion = [CH3COO-]hydrolysis/[ CH3COO-]initial
= 8.93 x 10-6/1.0
= 8.93 x 10-6
Sodium formate salt-
Equation for the reaction of formate ion with water:
HCOO-(aq) + H2O(l) HCOOH(aq) + OH-
(aq)
pH = 8.26
-lg[H3O+] = 8.26
[H3O+] = 5.50 x 10-9 mol/dm3
Kw = [H3O+][OH-] = 1.00 x 10-14
Therefore, [OH-] = 1.00 x 10-14/ 5.50 x 10-9 mol/dm3
= 1.82 x 10-6 mol/dm3
Sodium carbonate salt-
pH = 11.48
Considering the second protonation was small in sodium carbonate solution,
CO32-
(aq) + H2O(l) HCO3-(aq) + OH-
(aq)
-lg[H3O+] = 11.48
[H3O+] = 3.31 x 10-12 mol/dm3
Kw = [H3O+][OH-] = 1.00 x 10-14
![Page 7: Exp 3 Repaired)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081804/5468cb4fb4af9fde078b4822/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
[OH-] = 1.00 x 10-14/ 3.31 x 10-12 mol/dm3
= 3.02 x 10-3 mol/dm3
Therefore,
CO32- + H2O HCO3
- OH-
[Initial](mol/dm3) 0.5 0 0
[Equilibrium](mol/dm3) 0.5 - 3.02 x 10-3 3.02 x 10-3 3.02 x 10-3
[HCO3-] = 3.02 x 10-3 mol/dm3
[CO32-] = (0.5 – 3.02 x 10-3) mol/dm3
= 0.497 mol/dm3
Part (C): Acid-base Titration with Different Indicator
Equation for titration of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide:
NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)
Volume of HCl, V1 = 10.0cm3
Concentration of NaOH, M2 = 0.1 mol/dm3
While Bromophenol blue was used,
Volume of NaOH, V2 = 9.0 cm3
1 mol of NaOH reacted with 1 mol of HCl
Therefore, concentration of HCl, M1 = [(M2V2)]/V1
= (0.1 x 9.0)/10.0
= 0.090 mol/dm3
![Page 8: Exp 3 Repaired)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081804/5468cb4fb4af9fde078b4822/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
While phenolphthalein was used,
Volume of NaOH, V2 = 9.6 cm3
Therefore, concentration of HCl, M1 = [(M2V2)]/V1
= (0.1 x 9.6)/10.0
= 0.096 mol/dm3
Equation for titration of sodium hydroxide and ethanoic acid:
NaOH(aq) + HCOOH(aq) HCOONa(aq) + H2O(l)
Volume of HCOOH, V1 = 10.0cm3
Concentration of NaOH, M2 = 0.1 mol/dm3
Volume of NaOH, V2 = 11.5 cm3
1 mol of NaOH reacted with 1 mol of HCOOH
Therefore, concentration of HCl, M1 = [(M2V2)]/V1
= (0.1 x 11.5)/10.0
= 0.115 mol/dm3
![Page 9: Exp 3 Repaired)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081804/5468cb4fb4af9fde078b4822/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Discussion:
Part (A) Ammonium chloride
1. Do you expect an ammonium chloride solution to be neutral?
No.
2. On what previously obtained experimental evidence do you do you base your
above answer?
Ammonium chloride solution was not expected to be neutral, but acidic.
Ammonium chloride is the salt resulted from the reaction between strong acid and
weak base. The dissociation of ammonium chloride in water will produce
hydroxonium ions (H3O+) in excess, leading pH < 7.
3. Measure the pH of a 1 mol/dm3 solution of ammonium chloride, pH = 5.27.
4. Is the solution more acidic or basic than pure water?
More acidic than pure water.
5. Write an equation for the reaction causing this.
NH4+
(aq) + H2O(l) NH3(aq) + H3O+(aq)
6. Bronsted defined an acid as a proton donor and a base as a proton acceptor. What
is water in this reaction.
Water in this reaction received protons from ammonium ions; therefore water was
base in the reaction.
7. Write an expression for the hydrolysis constant Ka(NH4+).
Ka(NH4+) = [NH3][H3O+]/[NH4
+]
8. What are the concentration of the following ions in the solution?
a) [H3O+] = 5.37 x 10-6 mol/dm3
b) [NH4+] = (1.0 – 5.37 x 10-6 ) mol/dm3
≈ 1.0 mol/dm3
c) [Cl-] = 1.0 mol/dm3
d) [OH-] = 1.86 x 10-9 mol/dm3
e) [NH3] = 1.86 x 10-9 mol/dm3
9. Now calculate Ka(NH4+).
![Page 10: Exp 3 Repaired)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081804/5468cb4fb4af9fde078b4822/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Ka(NH4+) = [NH3][H3O+]/[NH4
+]
= 2.88 x 10-11 mol/dm3
10. What is the degree of hydrolysis of NH4+?
5.37 x 10-6
11. Realizing that you have a solution of ammonium chloride at the end point of the
titration of the strong acid hydrochloric acid and weak base ammonia, what
indicator would you use to detect this end point in such a titration of
approximately molar solution?
Ammonium chloride is the salt produced at the end point of titration between a
strong acid hydrochloric acid and weak base ammonia. At the end point, pH < 7.
Any indicator that change colour between pH 3 – pH 7 can be used to determine
the end point of the titration, for example methyl red that has pH range of 3.1 –
4.4.
Part (B) sodium salts
1. Measure the pH of 1M sodium acetate, 1M sodium formate, and 0.5M sodium
carbonate solution and complete the following table.
CH3COONa HCOONa Na2CO3
pH 8.95 8.26 11.48
*[H3O+] 1.12 x 10-9 5.50 x 10-9 3.31 x 10-12
*[OH-] 8.91 x 10-6 1.82 x 10-6 3.02 x 10-3
*[Na+] 1.00 1.00 1.00
*Concentration of ions in mol/dm3
CH3COONa: Sodium acetate
HCOONa: Sodium formate
Na2CO3: Sodium carbonate
2. What are the concentration of the following ions in NaAc solution?
a) [CH3COOH] = 8.91 x 10-6 mol/dm3
b) [CH3COO-] = (1 – 8.91 x 10-6 ) mol/dm3
![Page 11: Exp 3 Repaired)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081804/5468cb4fb4af9fde078b4822/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
3. What is the percentage of hydrolysis of acetate ion?
Percentage of hydrolysis = degree of hydrolysis x 100%
= 8.93 x 10-6 x 100%
= 8.93 x 10-4%
4. What indicator would you use for the titration of acetic acid with strong base?
Why?
Phenolphthalein. Any indicator that change colour within the range of pH 7 – pH
11 can be used to determine the end point of the titration because at end point, pH
> 7. Phenolphthalein has the pH range of 8 – 10, therefore suitable.
5. Write the equation for the reaction of formate ion with water.
HCOO-(aq) + H2O(l) HCOOH(aq) + OH-
(aq)
6. Consider the second protonation is very small, find the following in Na2CO3
solution.
a) [H3O+] = 3.31 x 10-12 mol/dm3
b) [HCO3-] = 3.02 x 10-3 mol/dm3
c) [OH-] = 3.02 x 10-3 mol/dm3
d) [CO32-] = 0.497 mol/dm3
7. Comment on the relative basic strength of acetate, formate, and carbonate ions.
CO32- > CH3COO- > HCOO-
8. Does this agree with the fact that formic acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid
and acetic acid is stronger acid than bicarbonate ion?
Yes.
9. Consequently, what is the relationship between the strength of an acid and the
strength of its conjugate base?
The stronger the acid is, the weaker the conjugate base will be.
![Page 12: Exp 3 Repaired)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081804/5468cb4fb4af9fde078b4822/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Part (C) Acid-base Titration with Different Indicator
For the titration of sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid with different indicators, the
results obtained were quite similar with minor difference. This was a strong acid and
strong base titration, before and after the end point was reached, there was a sharp
increase in pH from pH 3 – pH 11. Any indicator that change colour within the range can
be used as the indicator of the titration. Phenolphthalein has pH range of 8 – 10 while
Bromophenol blue has pH range of 3.0 – 4.6. Therefore both of the indicators were
suitable for the titration.
For the titration of sodium hydroxide and ethanoic acid with different indicator, the
results obtained were totally different. For weak acid and strong base titration, the pH
range before and after the end point was 7 – 11. Any indicators that change colour within
this range can be used as indicator for this titration. Only phenolphthalein was suitable in
the titration.
Conclusion:
1. Ammonium chloride solution is an acidic solution.
2. Formic acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid and acetic acid is stronger acid than
bicarbonate ion.
3. Stronger acid will have weaker conjugate base.
4. For strong acid and strong base titration, both Bromophenol blue and
phenolphthalein are suitable as indicators.
5. For weak acid and strong base titration, only phenolphthalein is suitable as
indicator in this experiment.
