Then, a certain amount of standard base solution is titrated with the monobasic acid. This is an acid-base titration. The equation for the reaction is  Na2CO3(aq) + 2HX(aq) → 2NaX(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g) Procedure: 1.      Weight accurately about 13. 20-13. 50g of solid sodium carbonate in a small beaker. Dissolve this in the beaker. Transfer the solution and washing into a 250cm3 standard flask and make up to the mark with distilled water. Shake well. 2.      Pipette 25. 0 cm3 of the standard solution of sodium carbonate into a conical flask. Add two or three drops of methyl orange indicator and titre this solution with KA1. Readings are recorded in the table. The titration is repeated three times to achieve accurate results. Results: Titration number | Rough | Accurate | | | 1 | 2 | 3 | Final reading/cm3 | | | | | Initial reading/cm3 | | | | | Volume of KA1/cm3 | | | | | Mass of beaker + sodium carbonate= _________________ Mass of empty beaker                       = _________________ Mass of sodium carbonate               = _________________ Calculation: 1.      25. 0 cm3 of standard solution of sodium carbonate required __________ of KA1 for complete reaction. 2.      Average titre value = 3.      Calculate the concentration of sodium carbonate. 4.      Calculate the concentration of the monobasic acid, HX in KA1.
