Title: Making Salts
Aim: To produce sodium chloride salt by carrying out a neutralisation reaction.
Equipment: 50 mL and 200 mL beakers, dilute HCI (hydrochloric acid), dilute NaOH (sodium hydroxide), 25 mL measuring cylinder, a glass stirring rod, spotting tile, indicator solution, gauze mat, hot plate, evaporating basin, dropper.
Method:
1. Using the measuring cylinder, measure 10 mL of HCI and pour it into your 50 mL beaker. Add dilute NaOH a few drops at a time while stirring with the glass rod.
2. Every 10-15 drops stop adding the NaOH and use the glass stirring rod to transfer a drop of the solution to a spotting tile. Test its pH using Universal indicator.
3. Keep adding NaOH and testing the solution by repeating step 2. As you get closer to neutral you may need to test the solution after every drop.
4. Pour the neutral solution into an evaporating basin and evaporate the water out of the solution using the equipment set up above.
Observation: Changing colours throughout the experiment. But by the end, the colour turned green. We then put the beaker with the acids on a hot plate and waited. It then dried out and turned into salt.
