Neutralizing Hydrochloric Acid Experiment: Finding the Mass of Calcium Oxide Required

The video tutorial demonstrates an experiment to determine the mass of calcium oxide required to neutralize a specific volume of hydrochloric acid. It covers the chemical reactions involved, the setup and procedure of the experiment, data analysis, and safety precautions. The experiment involves adding calcium oxide to hydrochloric acid and measuring pH changes to find the neutralization point. The results are analyzed using a graph to determine the precise mass needed for neutralization.

What role does the pH meter play in the experiment?

Discuss the importance of drawing a curve of best fit in the analysis of the experiment's results.
