Question

Lab: Titration of NaOH (0.1 molar)to unknown solid acid. Trying to determine the equilivent weight of the unknown acid in the experiement.

I am trying to figure out if I add too much base solution by accident to an unknown acid during titration would it affect the equivalent weight of the acid?

Answer 1

You don't have enough information for me to give a quantitative answer; however, the answer to your question is YES, it will affect the equivalent weight of the acid.

Answer 2

if you over titrate, you should be able to correct with a titration of a standard acid

if you think you may have added too much, the amount of the unknown acid will appear to be more than it actually is
__ this would cause you to think you have more moles, so the equivalent weight that you calculate would be too low
