2 M HCl solution
A volume of (50 ± 0.060) mL of approximately 0.2 M HCl was prepared in which the calculation was made.
to find the volume of commercial HCl needed to prepare the solution 1.18 g/mL;
purity 37% by weight).
With this volume of acid needed, it was measured in a graduated pipette of (10 ± 0.05) mL
to subsequently transfer to a volumetric flask of (50 ± 0.060) mL, this is filled up to the
line of leveling to then be capped and shaken to homogenize the solution.
Preparation of Na solution2CO3
Initially, the Na was dried.2HCO3to obtain Na2CO3anhydrous, then it was proceeded
to dissolve (0.1 ± 0.01) g of Na2CO3in (10 ± 0.02) mL of distilled water without loss
some reagent due to frequent washing of instruments in a beaker. Being
this sodium carbonate solution in water dissociates, as shown in the
next equation:
equation(1)
This Is2CO3fulfills the role of primary stable pattern and concentration
exactly known in order to then carry out the standardization of HCl.
Standardization of HCl with Na2CO3
The previously prepared solution of HCl was taken to a burette of (25 ± 0.1) mL to be
it is standardized with Na2CO3(ac), it was necessary to add three drops of indicator
mixed (a mixture of methyl red and bromcresol green) to the titrating substance of
Nah2CO3(ac), then it was slowly titrated with the HCl solution until the endpoint was reached.
in which the indicator turned khaki orange, in this assessment, (10.5 ± 0.1) mL was spent
HCl, then this mixture was taken to a heating plate to expel the CO.2present
in the reaction which causes an erroneous equivalence point.
equation(2)
Thus, with these data, the stoichiometric ratio is 2:1 between HCl and Na.2CO3with this
the amount of moles of acid that react in the solution is obtained to find
the exact concentration of HCl.
Based on the exact concentration found of HCl at 0.164 M needed to
neutralize (10 ± 0.02) mL of Na solution2CO3(ac)the relative % error associated with
this measure:
Because HCl reacts with Na2CO3since this is a weak base, it happens a
series of reactions as shown in the following equations:

The ionic equation that represents this reaction is based on the decomposition of
reactants and products in aqueous state in their respective ions:

By removing the spectator ions, the respective ionic equation is reduced to only:

Titration of NaOH with HCl
For the neutralization of (10 ± 0.02) mL NaOH, the standardized solution was needed.
HCl at 0.164 M in which (11.2 ± 0.1) mL was needed to neutralize the NaOH in this
added 3 drops of phenolphthalein as an indicator, at the time of titration the indicator turned to a
pale pink serving as the final point of the assessment, with this it was possible to determine the
amount of moles of NaOH present in the reaction based on the concentration
exact known amount of HCl. Therefore, to establish this stoichiometric relationship, it is necessary to have
find the balanced reaction as observed in the following equation:
equation (8)
As the stoichiometric relationship carried out between HCl and NaOH is 1:1, in which
indicates that for every mole of acid, one mole of base is produced, with this the
moles of NaOH in the solution that react with HCl as observed in the following
calculation:
With this, the exact concentration of NaOH is obtained at 0.179 M, due to the
The experimenter wanted to prepare 0.2 M NaOH and found the relative error.

Because HCl, NaOH, and NaCl are soluble strong electrolytes, the equation
The complete ionic equation associated with this neutralization is:

Therefore, the net ionic equation for this reaction, removing spectator ions,
