Determine the conductivity for 0% conversion with the

conductivity meter by mixing 100ml NaOH into 1L of

deionised water in the 1L beaker

Determine the conductivity for 25% conversion with the

conductivity meter by mixing 75ml NaOH and 25ml

Na(Ac) into 1L of deionised water in the 1L beaker

Determine the conductivity for 50% conversion with the

conductivity meter by mixing 50ml NaOH and 50ml

Na(Ac) into 1L of deionised water in the 1L beaker

Determine the conductivity for 75% conversion with the

conductivity meter by mixing 25ml NaOH and 75ml Na(Ac)

into 1L of deionised water in the 1L beaker

Determine the conductivity for 100% conversion with

the conductivity meter by mixing 100ml Na(Ac) into

1L of deionised water in the 1L beaker

Plot the Calibration Curve of Conductivity vs

Conversion after determine all the value.

EXPERIMENT 1:

6.1. Calibration curve - Conductivity Vs Conversion

Set-up the Apparatus and Equipment as shown in Figure 3.1

Heat up 250 ml of 0.1 M Et(Ac) (using 1 L beaker) and 250 ml of 0.1 M

NaOH (using a 1 L beaker) separately in a water bath to 35 �.

Pour the NaOH solution was into the 1 L beaker containing ethyl

acetate solution once the solution reach the desired temperature.

Switch the stirrer to 100rpm and record the start-time as t0.

Record the conductivity of the reaction medium every 1 minute until a

constant conductivity was reached.

Repeat the Next step by changing the temperature into 45�, then

55� and 65�
