Titration Lab
- Remember to tie hair back and no open toed shoes during a lab
Questions for the lab instead of conclusion
- Data Interpretation
How many drops of NaOH were required for the solution to change from red to orange, orange to yellow, yellow to green, and green to blue? Which colour change required the most drops? - Pattern Recognition
Examine your data for each colour change. Did the number of drops required between colour changes stay the same or vary? Describe the pattern you observe and suggest a reason for it. - pH Scale Connection
Using the universal indicator colour chart, identify the approximate pH values for each colour observed in the experiment. How did the pH change as more NaOH was added? - Neutralization Point
At which colour (or pH) was the solution closest to neutral? Explain why this point is important in an acid–base neutralization reaction. - Experimental Accuracy
Describe two factors that could affect the accuracy of counting drops (for example, drop size or mixing). How might these factors influence the recorded number of drops for each colour change?
