    This experiment aimed to standardize a sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution using a standard oxalic acid solution through titration. Titration involves using a standard solution of known concentration to determine the concentration of an unknown solution. In this experiment, phenolphthalein was used as the indicator to detect the endpoint of the reaction between NaOH and oxalic acid. The average titration volume of oxalic acid was used to calculate the molarity of the NaOH solution, which was determined to be 0.1029 N.

    Objective:—
    The objective of this experiment is to make us familiar with
    neutralization reaction of acid or base and also to introduce us
    with some important terms such as titration, standardization,
    indicator, acid-base reaction, etc.
    The main purpose of the experiment is to determine the
    strength of a base with the help of a standard acid solution.

    Theory:—
    In this experiment we shall determine the strength of
    NaOH solution by a standard solution of Oxalic Acid. This is done
    by means of “Titration”. The important matters that are related
    with the experiment are stated below :

    Titration:—
    In presence of a suitable indicator, the volumetric analysis
    in which a standard solution is added in another solution (whose
    strength is not known) to reach its end point to determine the
    strength of that solution is called ‘titration’.

    Standard Solution:—
    A solution of known concentration is called a ‘standard
    solution’.

    Indicator:—
    In our acid-base titration there is an important use of
    indicator. An ‘indicator’ is a chemical substance that detects the
    equivalent point (i.e. the end point) of reaction by changing its
    color.

    Equivalent Point:—
    The ‘equivalent point’ is the point in a titration when a
    stoichiometric amount of reactant has been added.

    Normality:
    The number of gram equivalent weight of a solute per liter
    of solution is called normality.
    Normality (N) = gm equivalent of solute /liters
    per solution.

    In this experiment the reaction we shall use is as follows:


    HOOC-COOH + NaOH ——> NaOOC-COONa +
    2H2
    The formula required to determine the strength of
    NaOH solution is:-

    V base X S base = V acid X S acid


    or , V b X S b = V a X Sa
    where ‘V’ represents volume and ‘S’ represents strength.

    The volume of Oxalic acid is measured by watching the


    Equivalent point. The point at which acid-base neutralizes each
    other is called “Equilibrium point”. This point is determined with
    the help of an indicator.

    Why Phenolphthalein is used as indicator:


    In this experiment, ‘Phenolphthalein’ is selected as indicator
    whose working pH range is 8.3-10.0 i.e. it is works when the
    environment is acid. This indicator gives pink color in basic
    solution and becomes colorless when the base is neutralized.

    In this experiment we are using NaOH and Oxalic acid.


    NaOH is a strong base but Oxalic acid is a weak acid. So the
    solution at equilibrium point consists of a salt whose basic part is
    strong. As a result there will be more OH - in the solution than H+
    as the salt will be dissociated in the aquas solution. So, the
    solution would be basic which provides phenolphthalein to work
    properly. So Phenolphthalein becomes the perfect indicator to
    determine the end point of this reaction.

    03 10 28.5 39.2 10.7

    Calculation:—
    from
    V acid X S acid = V base X S base ,
    we get
    V Oxalic-acid X S Oxalic-acid = V NaOH X S NaOH

    Here,
    V Oxalic-acid= 10.7 ml (average)
    S Oxalic-acid = 0.9619 M
    V NaOH = 100 ml
    S NaOH = ?

    so, S NaOH = ( 10.7 X 0.9619 ) / 100 N


    = 0.1029 N

    Result:—
    Determined strength of NaOH solution is:
    S NaOH = 0.1029 N
