Determining the Concentration of a Mixture of HCl and H3PO4 by
Potentiometric Titration
Michelle Arsjad
Purpose
The purpose of this experiment was to determine the respective concentrations of HCl and H3PO4 in
a concentration of their mixture. The respective concentrations of HCL and H3PO4 will be
determined through a potentiometric titration against NaOH. Using first and second derivative
graphs of the data obtained, the endpoints of the titration will be determined and used to accurately
calculate the concentrations of the acids.
Data and Observations
Qualitative:
No color change observed, as no indicator was used.

Data Analysis
Step 1: Calculating 1st Derivative
pH2 − pH1
Vol2 − Vol1=
(1.79 − 1.77)
(1.05 − 0)= 0.019048
Vol2 + Vol12
=1.05 + 0
2= 0.525 ml
Step 2: Calculating 2nd Derivative
∆pH/∆vol2 − ∆pH/∆vol1𝑉𝑜𝑙2 − 𝑉𝑜𝑙1
=(0.021053 − 0.019048)
(1.525 − 0.525)= 0.00200501
𝑉𝑜𝑙2 + 𝑉𝑜𝑙1
2=
1.525 + 0.525
2= 1.025 𝑚𝑙

Step 3: Determining end point volumes
Taking the average, for End Point 1
Vol2 + Vol1 + Vol3 + Vol4 + Vol5 + Vol6
6=
15.75 + 15.75 + 15.8 + 16.4 + 16.45 + 16.5
6= 16.10833 ml
Repeat the same for End Point 2
Step 4: Determining no. of moles of NaOH reacted with both acids in the mixture:
Let’s take End Point 1,
16. 10833 ml = 0.016108333 L
Concentration of NaOH = 0.100
Moles of NaOH = 0.01610833 × 0.100 = 0.001610833
Step 5: Determining no. of moles of NaOH that reacted with only the H2PO4
Let’s take End Point 2,
5.4916667 ml = 0.005491667 L
Concentration of NaOH = 0.100

Step 6: Calculating the no. of moles of HCl and H2PO4 in the 25 ml sample
Moles of HCl = Moles of reacted NaOH – Moles of NaOH that reacted with H2PO4
= 0.001610833 – 0.000549167 = 0.001061667 mol
Moles of H2PO4 = Moles of NaOH in Step 5 = 0.000549167
Step 7: Calculating the molarity of each acid in the 25 ml.
