Unknown Acid Lab

One of the most stressful labs done this unit was the Unknown Acid lab. I think this is partly due to the fact that the power went out in the middle of our titration. 

The procedure for this one was similar to the vinegar and acetic acid lab. We standardized the NaOH and then titrated the unknown acid. The only difference is that this acid dissolved with heat so we used a magnetic stirrer and a hot plate to dissolve the acid. 

Kendall and I ended up getting a 3% error so I am pretty pleased with how this lab went. 

Here are some cool pictures we took during the dissolving of the unknown acid.
