Curricular Competency:
A titration is a fundamental laboratory technique used to determine the concentration of a solution by reacting it with a solution of known concentration. In this lab, we utilized titration to determine the concentration of hydrochloric acid (HCl) by reacting it with a standardized solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The endpoint or equivalence point of a titration is the point at which the reaction is complete, and the amount of NaOH added is equivalent to the amount of HCl present. The endpoint was indicated by the color change of the indicator phenolphthalein from colourless to pink, signaling the completion of the reaction. Our results showed that 12.05 mL of 0.100 M NaOH was required to neutralize 10.00 mL of HCl, indicating a concentration of 0.1205 M HCl.
Core Competency Reflection:
Reflecting on this lab experience, I realized the importance of personal awareness and responsibility in achieving my goals. To manage my wellbeing and stay focused during the lab, I employed strategies such as staying organized, and seeking help when needed. I set specific goals for myself, such as accurately measuring the volumes and observing the color change carefully. By advocating for myself and taking ownership of my learning, I was able to stay on track and achieve my goals. Additionally, I recognized the value of self-reflection and assessment, as it allowed me to identify areas for improvement and develop strategies to address them. One area for improvement for next time would be to double-check all my calculations and results to ensure accuracy and precision. Furthermore, I realized the importance of effective communication and collaboration with my peers, as it enhanced our overall understanding and learning experience. Overall, this experience taught me the value of self-awareness, responsibility, attention to detail, and effective communication in achieving success in my learning endeavors. In addition to that I learned how to read the measurements and work with pipette and bursted, also I learned how to add dropwise, half drops, full drops and other useful techniques.By reflecting on my experiences and identifying areas for improvement, I can continue to grow and develop as a learner and achieve my goals.😃💗
