The acid-base neutralization is a reaction in which acids and bases react in

an aqueous solution to produce salt and water. The liquid sodium chloride
produced in the reaction is called salt. A salt is an ionic compound composed of a
cation of a base and an onion of an acid. A salt is essentially an ionic compound
that is neither an acid nor a base.

The objective of an acid-base neutralization experiment is to conduct acid-

base titration using a universal indicator and phenoftalein indicator. During the
first experiment, 10 ml of 0.1 M HCl solution before added 1 ml of 0.2 M NaOH
had pH = 1 measured using universal indicator. It shows that HCl solution is strong
acid because its pH is less than 7 according to strong acid and weak acid theory.
When the HCl solution is dropped three drops of phenolphthalein indicator the
condition is still acidic because there is no color change according to the theory of
the phenolphthalein indicator that the indicator is in the acid state does not
change color and in the alkaline state will change to pink.

The principle of acid-base titration involves both acid and base as

titer or titrant. Acid-base titration by neutralization reaction. The acid solution is
determined by using an alkaline solution and vice versa. NaOH is added HCl bit by
bit until it reaches the equivalent state. By the time we reach the equivalent point
the titration process is stopped, then we record the volume of HCl to reach that
state. By measuring it.

When an acidic amount of a strong acid such as HCl is mixed with a

strong base such as NaOH, the result is a neutral solution. The reaction product
does not have either acidic or basic characteristics. Here is the equation of the
molecular balance reaction.
HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)

The chemical reaction occurring in a water solution is more accurately

represented by the ionic reaction equation. The complete ionic equation for
neutralizing hydrochloric acid with sodium hydroxide is written as follows:

H+ + Cl- + Na+ + OH- Na+ + Cl- + H2O

 Since both acid and base are strong, they are fully ionized and so are
written with ions, as NaCl is formed as a product. A strong acid releases H + and a
strong base releases OH + to form H2O and has a pH = 7 that is neutral.

Universal indicator, ie indicator that has a different standard color for each
pH 1-14. Its function is to check the degree of acidity or alkalinity (pH) of a
substance. The phenolphtalein indicator is usually used as an indicator of the
state of a more acidic or alkaline substance. The function of addition of
phenolphtalein inductor to know the occurrence of an equivalence point in the
process of penitrasian with the change of color in the solution. Phenolphtalein
indicator is a good indicator for alkaline solution where this indicator will change
the color of the solution from the nodes to pink as a result of changes in pH of the
solution at the time of titration.

The experiment was conducted with 3 times titration to be produced more

accurate and thorough. The color change of a particular indicator changes color,
so the end point does not always coincide with the point of akivalen. Titration is a
mixture of two substances such as acids and bases to produce a mixture.

The data shows a garfic relationship between volume and pH ie the more
volume of 0.2 M NaOH which is added into 10 ml of 0.1 M HCl solution then the
graph will increase in the pH part so that more volume of NaOH 0.2 M is added
then the solution will be increasingly alkaline characterized by the increase in pH
and the solution color turns pink and lighter or clearer it will also show the basic
properties because the phenolphthalein indicator undergoes a change, the
phenolphthalein in base changes color to pink.
 Equivalent point is the number or volume that is the main goal in the
titration, lift this TE into a calculation number, but this number can not be
obtained manually or in the titration we can not observe it. There are two ways to
determine the equivalence point of acid-base titration, ie

1. Wear a pH meter to determine the pH change during the titration

2. Use acid-base indicator. The indicator is added to the titrant before the
titration process is performed.

Kesimpulan

The acid-base neutralization experiments were performed by titrating the

solution. Titration is a quantitative chemical analysis method commonly used in
laboratories to determine the concentration of the reactants using two indicators
to determine the suitability of a solution in which the universal indicator and
phenolphthalein indicator. The universal indicator is used to measure the degree
of acidity (pH) of a solution and the phenolphthalein indicator is used to show the
equivalence point, the point at which the number of moles of OH-ion added to
the solution is equal to the number of moles of H + ions.
