Question 128

A student wanted to investigate how the pH of a solution changes as magnesium oxide is added to dilute hydrochloric acid.

They followed this method:

Step 1 Measure out 50.0 cm3 of dilute hydrochloric acid into a beaker using a measuring cylinder.

Step 2 Record the initial pH of the acid using a pH probe connected to a computer.

Step 3 Add a 0.20 g portion of magnesium oxide powder to the acid in the beaker and stir.

Step 4 Record the pH of the mixture.

Step 5 Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the pH of the mixture is constant.

Name a piece of apparatus which could be used to measure out 50.0 cm3 of dilute hydrochloric acid more accurately than the measuring cylinder.
