ABSTRACT
One way to determine the concentration of an acid-base solution is through an
acid-alkalimetric titration process. This method is quite profitable because the
implementation is easy and fast, the accuracy and accuracy are also quite high.
Acidi-alkalimetric titration is divided into two major parts, namely acidimetry and
alkalimetry. Acidimetry is a titration using a standard solution of an acid to
determine a base. The acids that are usually used are HCl, vinegar, oxalic acid,
boric acid. While alkalimetry is the opposite of acidimetry, which is a titration that
uses a standard solution of a base to determine acid.This study aims to identify the
substance in a sample and determine the level is the principle of acid-base
reactions. Acidi-alkalimetric titration is a volumetric titration using NaOH as the
secondary standard solution and potassium hydrogen phthalate as the primary
standard solution and added pp indicator. The end point of the titration is
indicated by a change in the color of the solution to a pink color. Alkalimetry is a
quantitative determination of the levels of compounds that are acidic by using a
standard base.
The method used is the experimental method through a quantitative approach.
The research method is used to determine the effect of the independent variable or
treatment on the dependent or the results under controlled conditions.
The results of the study obtained the calculation of the volume of NaOH 28.7
then performed in duplicate to obtain the calculation of the volume of NaOH 29.7.
So the calculation of the concentration of Salicylic Acid is0,584 M.
Keywords: salicylic acid, NaOH, titration
