Study Notes
Titration Criteria
- Complete Reaction: A clear and defined chemical reaction must occur between the standard solution (known concentration) and the analyte (substance being analyzed). This reaction can be represented by a balanced chemical equation.
- Fast Reaction: The reaction should proceed quickly to ensure a timely and efficient titration.
- Detectable Equivalence Point: A distinct change in the physical or chemical properties of the solution must occur at the equivalence point. This point marks when the moles of the standard solution and analyte are stoichiometrically equivalent.
- Indicator Use: An indicator is crucial for visually identifying the end point of the titration, which is near the equivalence point. The indicator undergoes a physical change (often color change) close to the point of equivalence.
Titration Criteria
- Titration is a chemical analysis technique that uses a solution of known concentration (standard solution) to determine the concentration of an unknown solution (analyte)
- The goal of titration is to find the equivalence point at which the reactants are present in stoichiometric amounts, resulting in a complete reaction
- Titration relies on several essential criteria to produce accurate results:
- Complete and Simple Reaction: There needs to be a well-defined chemical reaction between the standard solution and the analyte, which can be represented by a balanced chemical equation.
- Fast Reaction: The reaction between the standard solution and the analyte must occur quickly to ensure the completion of the reaction within a reasonable timeframe.
- Detectable Change: A noticeable change in a physical or chemical property of the solution must occur at the equivalence point.
- Indicator: An indicator is used to signal the end point of the titration, it provides a visual indication of the equivalence point or a change in a physical property like color.
