Study Notes
Neutralization Reactions and Acid-Base Titration
- Neutralization reactions involve the formation of slightly ionized or slightly soluble products.
- Acid-base titration is a method to determine the concentration of an unknown acid using a known base.
- A buret measures the base's volume.
- The acid's concentration is unknown.
Analytical Chemistry
- Analytical chemistry involves qualitative and quantitative analysis.
- Qualitative analysis identifies the constituents of a compound or mixture.
- Quantitative analysis determines the quantity and purity of a sample.
- Different methods classify quantitative analysis on the types of sample concentration, analyzed material, and final measurement process.
Methods Used in Quantitative Analysis
- Sample concentration can be macro (100 mg+), semi-micro (10-100mg), and micro (less than 1 mg)
- Material type determines the necessary analysis, e.g., food, water analysis.
- Measurement methods include volumetric or titrimetric analysis, gravimetric analysis, and physicochemical or instrumental methods
Classification of Quantitative Analysis Methods
- Volumetric or titrimetric analysis involves measuring the volume of a known concentration reagent called the titrant, needed for complete reaction with the analyzed sample, called the titrand
- Gravimetric analysis involves isolating and weighing a final product that has a known, pure, stable, and definite chemical structure
- Physicochemical or instrumental methods measure physical properties related to the concentration of the constituent to be analyzed, employing specific instruments.
Volumetric or Titrimetric Analysis
- It's based on measuring the volume of both the analyzed sample and the standard solution required for complete reaction.
- Titration is the measurement of a sample's ability to combine with a known standard reagent in a quantitative manner.
- "Titrant" is the compound in the buret; its concentration is known.
- "Titrand" is the substance being analyzed.
Gravimetric Analysis
- Measuring the weight of a final product (with a known, pure, stable, and definite chemical structure) after isolating it
- Involves processes like weighing a sample, adding a precipitating agent, heating, filtering, drying, and weighing the precipitate
Physicochemical or Instrumental Methods of Analysis
- Measuring physical properties related to the concentration of the constituent being analyzed using specific instruments
- This is why it's called instrumental analysis
Requirements of Titrimetric Reactions
- Reaction must be easily expressed through a chemical equation.
- Only one reaction should occur between the titrant and sample, with no side reactions.
- The reaction should be instantaneous, or a catalyst should be used.
- A suitable standard solution should be available as the titrant.
- The reaction's endpoint should be easily detected. This could be by detecting physical or chemical changes or through chemical indicators.
Standard Solutions
- Solutions with exactly known chemical composition and concentration
- Molar Solutions contain one gram molecular weight per liter
Preparation of Standard Solutions
- Direct Methods: Accurately weighed primary standards are dissolved and added to a volumetric flask, to the required volume.
- Indirect Methods: If a compound isn't a primary standard, it can be used to create a solution with an approximate concentration. This solution is standardized against a primary standard solution.
Characteristics of Primary Standards
- Easily obtained in high purity (known as "AR").
- Easily tested for impurities.
- Stable and non-hygroscopic.
- Non-volatile and can be dried at specific temperatures without decomposition.
- Reacts stoichiometrically.
- Readily soluble in the solvent used.
- High equivalent weights help minimize weighing errors
Examples of Primary Standards (Acid-base reactions)
- Potassium acid phthalate
- Constant boiling point HCl
- Anhydrous Na₂CO₃
- Benzoic acid
- Mercuric oxide
- Potassium bicarbonate
Examples of Primary Standards (other reaction types)
- Complex formation: Ag, AgNO₃, various metals (Zn, Mg, Cu, Mn) and their salts.
- Precipitation: Ag, AgNO₃, NaCl, KCl, KBr.
- Oxidation-reduction: K₂Cr₂O₇, KBrO₃, KIO₃, KH(IO₃)₂), Na₂C₂O₄, As₂O₃
