Explain how the following scenarios would affect the experimental Ksp value (lower, higher or no change from acceptable value): ( the chemical used in this titration are Calcium Hydroxide, and the indicator used in this experiment are methyl orange indicator solution)
a) The accidental transfer of some solid Ca(OH)2 into the titrating flask.
b) The endpoint of the titration is surpassed.
c) The Ca(OH)2 solution was not saturated.
d) Tap water instead of distilled water was used to make all of the solutions.
e) Adding distilled water to the titrating flask to wash the sides of the flask and the buret tip.
a) The accidental transfer of some solid Ca(OH)2 into the titrating flask.
So, higher the Ksp value then the accidental transfer of some solid Ca(OH)2 into the titrating flask.
b)The endpoint of the titration is surpassed.
higher the Ksp value then the endpoint of the titration is surpassed.
c) The Ca(OH)2 solution was not saturated.
Higher the Ksp value then the Ca(OH)2 solution was not saturated.
d) Tap water instead of distilled water was used to make all of the solutions.
Higher the Ksp value then Tap water instead of distilled water was used to make all of the solutions.
e) Adding distilled water to the titrating flask to wash the sides of the flask and the buret tip.
Lower the Ksp value then Adding distilled water to the titrating flask to wash the sides of the flask and the buret tip.
