Neutralization/Reaction of Soluble Base/Alkali with Dilute Acid
This is a reaction that could be used in preparation of soluble salts in a laboratory.
By adding an acid to a burette into a known volume of an alkali with 2-3 drops of an indicator, the colour of the indicator changes when the acid has completely reacted with an alkali at the end point.
The procedure is then repeated without the indicator .The solution mixture is then heated to concentrate , allowed to crystallize ,washed with distilled water before drying with filter papers.
This in a laboratory is known as the titration process. Examples of this neutralization reaction include the following:
Titration is a precise chemical technique used to determine the concentration of a solution. A known solution (titrant) of one substance is slowly added to another solution of a different substance (analyte) until their reaction reaches a defined endpoint. The volume of titrant needed helps calculate analyte concentration.
