Procedure
Procedure
Transfer an antacid tablet to a clean mortar
and crush it in to a fine powder
Weigh the mortar filled with fine powder
Transfer the powder to a conical flask
Source of error
Some ingredients in the anti-acid may affect
the pH value of the mixture and the result.
Loss of active ingredient during
transferring.
The meniscus didnt sit at the graduated
mark of the burette or pipette.
The coatings of anti-acid may not dissolve
in acid or dissolve slowly.
The other ingredients may affect the
solubility of the bases inside the anti-acid
Improvements
Sufficient time should be given for the
reaction of acid and base.
pH metre should be used to detect the end
point.
