Answer to Question #72207 in Chemistry for Jamali

Question

Describe the experimental procedure to carry out a titration to find the exact volume of nitric acid needed to neutralise 25cm3 of potassium hydroxide solution and obtain pure, dry crystals of potassium nitrate.

Answer 1

Knowing the concentrations of titrant and titrating solution, there is a need for calculations to identify the
exact volume of nitric acid to neutralize given volume of potassium hydroxide.
Load titration burette with nitric acid and this liquid drop-by-drop up until till the equivalence point.
Evaporate obtained liquid to receive dry crystals of potassium nitrate
