Volumetric Analysis

  • Definition of some terms
  • Classification of reactions in volumetric analysis
    • Acid-base (neutralization)
    • Precipitation
    • Reduction-oxidation
    • Complexometric
  • Acidimetry: titration of free bases or salts of weak acids with standard acid.
  • Alkalimetry: titration of free acids or salts of weak bases with standard base.
  • These reactions involve the combination of hydrogen and hydroxyl ions to form water. (HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O)
  • Complex formation reactions: depend on the combination of ions, forming slightly dissociated ionic compounds.
    • Examples: 2CN⁻ + Ag⁺ → [Ag(CN)₂]⁻, Cu(H₂O)₄²⁺ + 2EDTA → [Cu(EDTA)₂]²⁻ + 4H₂O (EDTA: Ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid)
  • Precipitation reactions: depend on the combination of ions to form a precipitate.
    • Example: Ag⁺ + NO₃⁻ + Na⁺ + Cl⁻ → AgCl + Na⁺ + NO₃⁻
  • Reduction-oxidation (Redox) reactions: involve a change in valences or transfer of electrons.
    • Example: MnO₄⁻ + 5Fe²⁺ + 8H⁺ → Mn²⁺ + 5Fe³⁺ + 4H₂O

Concentration of Solution

  • Units
    • Percent composition (% m/m, % v/v, % m/v)

    • Molality (m)
    • Parts per million (ppm)
    • Mole fraction (χ)
    • Mass per volume (g/L)
    • Normality (N)

Computing Results

  • At the end point:
    • Normality (N) = gram equivalents/liters
    • Normality (N) = milligram equivalents/milliliters (ml)
    • Number of mg equivalents = Number of ml x Normality
  • When a standard solution (A) reacts with an unknown solution (B):
    • VA × NA = VB × NB or VA × MA = VB × MB
    • Where VA and VB are reacted volumes of solutions A and B, NA and NB are normalities of solutions A and B

Dilution

  • Dilution: adding extra solvent to decrease solution concentration.
  • Amount of solute remains constant.
  • Concentration formula for dilution: (Conc₁ × Vol₁) = (Conc₂ × Vol₂)
  • Applicable to molarity or percentage units
