Ph and Dilutions of Acids and Bases

Chemistry Name Period pH and Dilutions of Acids and Bases Activity

Purpose:

Materials: Distilled H2O 0.1 M HCl 0.1 M NaOH spot well plate pH paper

Procedure: 1. Place spot well plate over a white piece of paper. In well #12 add 10 drops of distilled H2O (using a pipette) and 1 drop of universal indicator. 2. Put 10 drops of 0.1M HCI into well #1. Into well #2, add 9 drops of distilled H2O and transfer with a separate pipette, one drop from well #1 to well #2; stir. 3. Put 9 drops of distilled H2O into well #3 and transfer one drop from well #2; stir. 4. Repeat the 9 to 1 dilution process in wells # 4, 5, and 6. 5. Add one drop of universal indicator into wells #1 thru 6. Note colors on spot well plate. 6. Take the ph of each well (1 thru 6, and 12) and record in Data Table 1-1. (If the pH paper is not an exact match or fits between colors on the pH chart, assign a middle pH #.) 7. Repeat this procedure (1-6) using 0.1 M NaOH in well #1. Record in Data Table 1-2.

Data Table 1-1: pH of Dilute HCl 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

Data Table 1-2: pH of Dilute NaOH 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

Conclusion: 1. Which well number most closely matches the color of the water standard (well # 12)? What does this tell you about the dilution process? 2. What general trend is apparent form the color range of the universal indicator in the dilution of the acid or base? 3. How is this trend reflected in the pH data? 4. List the pH numbers for the acid dilutions and give the corresponding H+ concentrations. [ex: well #1 pH 1; 0.1 M H+ or 1 x 10-1 M H+] 5. List the pH numbers and H+ concentrations for the base dilutions. 6. If you started with a 0.001 M solution of HNO3 and diluted one drop acid to nine drops H2O, what would be the resulting pH? 7. Suppose you continued to dilute the acid (in problem 6) two more times (1 drop to 9 drops). What should be the pH and the H+ concentration of the last dilution? Acids and bases 3
