Messed Up Makeup (Drop Counter)
Experiment #9A from Forensic Chemistry Experiments
- Use a pH sensor to monitor changes in pH as sodium hydroxide solution of unknown concentration is titrated with hydrochloric acid solution of known concentration.
- Plot a graph of pH vs. volume of sodium hydroxide solution added.
- Use the graph to determine the volume of hydrochloric acid added to reach the equivalence point of the titration.
- Use the results to calculate the concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution titrated.
- Use the results to calculate the mass of sodium hydroxide added to the makeup remover bottle.
