Sulhuric Acid PDF

This document provides the procedure for preparing and standardizing a 0.1 N sulfuric acid solution. Specifically, it involves taking 4.9 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid and diluting it to 1000 ml with water. The standardized sulfuric acid solution is then titrated against a 0.1 N sodium carbonate solution using methyl orange as the indicator. The normality of the sulfuric acid solution is calculated to be 0.08 N based on the titration results.

2. Preparation & standardization of Sulphuric acid (0.1 N)- By Ms.

Lipsa Samal

Aim – To Prepare & standardize Sulphuric acid (0.1 N)

Glasswares & apparatus required – Volumetric flask, burette, burette stand, pipette, conical
flask, digital balance, heating mantle.

Chemicals required – standard 0.1 N sodium carbonate solution (prepared by dissolving 530 mg
of sodium carbonate in 100 ml of distill water), conc. Sulphuric acid, methyl orange solution

Theory – Sulphuric acid is a diprotic acid and 1 N solution contain 98.08/2 = 49.04 g H2SO4.
Taking into consideration specific gravity (1.83) of sulphuric acid about 49.0 ml of conc. Sulphuric
acid is required to prepare 1000 ml solution.

It is an example of alkalimetry. When a strong acid is titrated with a strong base, the salt produced
in the reaction is not hydrolysed and therefore the ph of the resultant solution at the end point is
exactly 7.0. sulphuric acid is a strong acid, is standardized by titrating with a strong base i.e.
sodium carbonate (primary standard). The following reaction takes place when sodium carbonate
is titrated with sulphuric acid. In this titration, end point detection is carried out by using methyl
orange indicator.

Procedure –

In a volumetric flask, 4.9 ml of conc. Sulphuric acid was taken and 900 ml water was slowly added,
cooled and then the volume was made upto 1000 ml with water.

Standardization –

• 10 ml of 0.1 N Sodium carbonate solution was pipette out into a clean and dried conical
flask.
• 2 drops of methyl orange indicator was added to it.
• The contents of the flask were now titrated with sulphuric acid until red color was
obtained.
• Burette reading was taken.

Observation table –

Calculation – Normality of H2SO4 is calculated by-

N1V1 = N2V2

N1 = 0.1 N = Normality of Na2CO3 Solution, N2 = ? = Normality of H2SO4

V1 = 10 ml = Volume of Na2CO3 Solution, V2 = 30 ml = Volume of H2SO4

0.1 X 10 = N2 X 12

Or N2 = 1 / 12 = 0.08 N

Result – Sulphuric acid (0.1 N) was prepared and standardized. The exact normality was found
to be 0.08 N
