Conductimetric Titration and Gravimetric Determination of a Precipitate

Project Summary

Measure the equivalence point of a sulfuric acid/barium hydroxide reaction using conductivity values and precipitate mass.

Experiment Objectives

  • Measure the conductivity of the reaction between sulfuric acid and barium hydroxide.
  • Use conductivity values as a means of determining the equivalence point of the reaction.
  • Measure the mass of a product of the reaction as a means of determining the equivalence point of the reaction gravimetrically.
  • Calculate the molar concentration of a barium hydroxide solution.

This experiment is part of the Advanced Chemistry with Vernier book.
