Aim:
The aim of this experiment is to determine the conversion of our reactants
by using conductivity meter in the reactor which the reaction takes place
which is a batch reactor
Introduction:
In our experiment a reaction takes place between two reactants in a batch
reactor, first reactant is the strong base (NaOH) and second reactant is the
weak Acid which is (CH3COOH) to produce (CH3COONA) and water.
But since one of reactant is weak ( CH3COOH ) this means our reactants
won’t fully react and convert into our product which means we don’t have
a 100% conversion like we have between two strong reactants.
So, in order to find conversion we have to divide the concentration of the
reactants reacted by the concentration of the reactant in our reactor as the
term of conversion suggests.
In order to find concentration, we use conductivity meter which measures
the amount of free ions in our reactor.
This way can find conductivity to find concentration which gives us the
key to find conversion.

Tools:
Batch reactor
The reactor is not continuous we add the reactants and wait for the
reaction to accrue, our reactor has 1L capacity
The batch reactor has other parts to its like thermometer which is plugged
and can be dead from service unit
Conductivity meter
Is a tool to measure the amount of free ions in a liquid or solution which
uses a small amount of electricity to use how much ions will carry the
charge

5. 5
Service unit
Our service unit for this experience holds the both of the tanks of both
reactants, and the pumps which is needed for each tank to the inlet of the
reactor

6. 6
Control unit
For this experiment the control unit provides power and electricity to our
reactor
But not the conductivity meter because it works on its own
Tank
The tank provide store service to our reactant before being added to our
reactor, which is located in unit service.

7. 7
Pumps
The pumps are our helpful tool which add our reactants to the reactor,
which is located in unit service but is controlled in and turned on and off
in control unit.

8. 8
Procedure:
Before experiment: We make sure our units are ready
1 service unit
-the tanks for each reactant are filled with half a liter of its reactant so it
gives us the concentration of 0.05M and 1 Liter of solution in the reactor
-The tubes must be connected well from tank to pump and to the reactor
correctly and there isn’t any leak.
2 control unit
-the wire of the reactor must be plugged into its main power source on the
control box as well as its temperature sensor to its right power source
-making sure both the temperature of the room is stable because heat will
affect the reactor and cause inaccuracies
-making sure the conductivity meter is connected to our reactor.
During the experiment
-Switch on the control unit main power switch
-which on the conductivity meter
-switch on the pump of the base reactant and wait till the pump sends all
the reactant into the reactor then we stop the first pump
-we switch on the second pump which is the acid reactant and the stirrer
of the reactor and we will turn off the pump once it added all the acid into
the reactor.
-at each minute of the acid reactant is added to the reactant and reacts with
the base we check and measure conductivity
-each minute we take data till our last four data reads the same
conductivity
-once all 4 the conductivity data at the end reads the same, we stop the
reactor and our experiment.

9. 9
At the end of experiments
-make sure everything is turned off, the pumps the reactor the conductivity
meter and the control unit
-the wires of the reactor must be unplugged and the reactor must be
cleaned with distilled water so as the tubes.
