conduct an experiment with acid and base
Answers
Answer:
Aim:
To study the properties of acids (dilute HCl) and bases (dilute NaOH) by their reactions with the following:
Litmus solution (red/blue)
Zinc metal
Solid sodium carbonate
Materials required:
Test tube
Test tube stand
Cork
Test tube holder
Boiling tube
Droppers
Flat bottom flask
Burner
Match box
Beaker
Thistle funnel
Litmus paper/solution
Fresh lime water
Glass rod
Dilute HCl
Dilute NaOH
Zinc granules
Solid sodium carbonate
Theory:
What is acid?
Chemical species which donate proton or release H+ ions when dissolved in water are called acid. They turn blue litmus solution to red colour.
Hydrochloric acid reacts with zinc metal to produce zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. The reaction is given below:
Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)
Hydrochloric acid reacts with Na2CO3 to produce carbon dioxide and turns the lime water milky as it forms calcium carbonate. The milkiness formed disappears when more than necessary carbon dioxide is passed through the solution. The reaction is as follows:
Na2CO3(s/aq) + 2HCl(aq) → 2NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)
Ca(OH)2(aq) + CO2(g) → CaCO3(s) + H2O(l)
CaCO3(s) + H2O(l) + CO2(g) → Ca(HCO3)2(aq)
Experimental Setup for Litmus Test Procedure:
- Take a test tube stand and place two test tubes in it.
- Label the test tube as test tube 1 and test tube 2.
- Add 5 ml of blue litmus solution to test tube 1.
- Add 5 ml of red litmus solution to test tube 2.
- Use a dropper and add equal drops of hydrochloric acid in the both test tubes.
- Wait and observe the colour change.
