Slide Number 4

System Requirement

Here I am using

Mac OS version 10.10.5

ChemCollective Vlabs version 2.1.0

Java version 8.0.

Point to the window. Here I have opened Virtual Chemistry labs application window.

Default lab setup window opens.

Cursor on Workbench. Let us begin the demonstration with standardization of-

strong-acid with strong-base.

Double-click on Strong-acids cabinet.

Double-click on 0.1M Hydrochloric acid(HCl).

Click on Cabinet icon to close.

We will retrieve required chemicals from stockroom.

Double-click on Strong-acids cabinet.

Now double click to Select, 0.1 M Hydrochloric acid from the list.

Close the cabinet.

Double-click on Strong-bases cabinet.

Double-click on 0.1 M Sodium hydroxide(NaOH).

From the Strong-bases cabinet, select, 0.1 M sodium hydroxide.

Close the cabinet.

Double-click on Indicators cabinet.

Click on Phenolphthalein,

drag and drop on the workbench.

From the Indicators cabinet select Phenolphthalein.

Drag the bottle and drop on the workbench.

Close the cabinet.

Click on Glassware menu.

Double-click on 250 mL Erlenmeyer Flask.

10 mL Pipet, 50 mL Buret.

Click on Glassware menu.

Now select, 250 mL Erlenmeyer Flask.

10 mL Pipet and 50 mL Buret.


Rearrange the apparatus.

Right-click on the flask, from the sub-menu select Rename. Rename the Erlenmeyer Flask as A1.
Place the 10 mL Pipet on flask containing Hydrochloric acid(HCl).

In the Transfer Amount input-bar type 10.

Click on Withdraw.

Drag the Pipet on to flask A1.

In the Transfer Amount input-bar type 10.

Click on Pour.

Repeat the process again.

Using pipet transfer 20 mL of Hydrochloric acid(HCl) into flask A1.

Place the 10 mL pipet on flask containing Hydrochloric acid(HCl).

In the Transfer Amount input-bar type 10.

Click on Withdraw.

Drag the Pipet on to flask A1.

In the Transfer Amount input-bar type 10.

Click on Pour.

We require 20 mL of HCl for this titration.

Since we have 10 mL pipet we need to use it twice to transfer 20 mL of Hydrochloric acid(HCl).

Drag and Place Phenolphthalein bottle over Flask A1. Place Phenolphthalein bottle over Flask A1.
Type 0.3 in the Transfer Amount input bar.

Click on pour.

Drag and keep Phenolphthalein bottle aside.

Type 0.3 in the Transfer Amount input bar.

Click on pour.

Keep Phenolphthalein bottle and Hydrochloric acid(HCl) aside.

Drag and place 0.1M Sodium hydroxide(NaOH) over the buret.

Type 50 in the Transfer Amount input bar.

Click on pour.

Keep NaOH flask aside.

Drag and place 0.1 M Sodium hydroxide(NaOH) over the burete.

Transfer 50 mL of Sodium hydroxide(NaOH) into the buret.

Observe that, burete reading is not zero.

This is because the lower part of the burete is also filled.

Keep Sodium hydroxide(NaOH) flask aside.

Drag and place the burete over Flask A1

Point to the Solution Info panel.

Place the burete over Flask A1.

Click on the buret.

Note the initial volume of Sodium hydroxide(NaOH) in the buret from the Solution Info panel.

Click on Tools menu, select Realistic Transfer.

Click on Pour button gradually.

Change the Transfer Bar to Realistic Transfer.

Click on Pour button gradually.

Reaction between Hydrochloric acid(HCl)and Sodium hydroxide(NaOH) is equimolar.

So, end point is expected around 20 mL.

After adding 19 mL of Sodium hydroxide(NaOH), change the transfer mode to Significant Figures Transfer.

Click on Tools menu, select Transfer Bar.

Click on Significant Figures Transfer.

To obtain accurate volume for end-point detection;

After adding 19 mL of Sodium hydroxide(NaOH), change the Transfer Bar to Significant Figures Transfer.

In the Transfer Amount input bar type 0.01.

Click on pour.

In the Transfer Amount input bar type 0.01.

This will transfer 0.01 mL of Sodium hydroxide(NaOH) for every click on pour button.

Click on pour.

Cursor on Solution Info panel. Observe pH change in the Solution Info panel.
Click on pour button.

Point to flask A1.

Click on pour button, observe the faint pink colour in Flask A1.

This is the end-point of titration.

Click on the buret.

Point to solution info panel.

Click on the buret.

Note the volume of remaining Sodium hydroxide(NaOH)from the solution info panel.

Slide Number 5

Calculations.

Vi (Initial buret reading of NaOH) = 50 mL

Vf (Final buret reading) = 29.991 mL

V2 = Vi - Vf = 20.009 mL

M2 (Molarity of NaOH) = 0.1 M

V1 (Volume of HCl) = 20 mL

M1V1= M2V2

M1x 20 = 0.1 x 20.02

M1 = 0.1 M

Final calculations are shown on this slide.

We have used the formula M1V1= M2V2 to calculate M1 that is molarity of Hydrochloric acid(HCl).

We have obtained the value of M1 as 0.1 M.

Click on Remove tool. To clear the workbench, select each component .

To remove the selected component, click on remove tool.

Similarly remove all the components from the workbench.
