Study Notes
Errors in Chemical Analysis
- Errors classified into three main types: Systematic (Determinant), Random (Indeterminate), and Gross (Blunder).
- Systematic errors affect accuracy, are reproducible, and can be corrected.
- Random errors impact precision, are unpredictable, and vary each time, making them inherently present but not correctable.
International Standards
- ISO 5725 addresses accuracy of measurement methods and results.
- ISO 3696 pertains to water quality for analytical uses.
- ISO 9001 outlines quality management system requirements to minimize errors.
Types of Errors in Analytical Procedures
- Saturation introduces interferents that impact analyte detectability.
- Matrix modification uses a non-interferent to eliminate dependency on interferent concentration.
- Masking agents selectively react with interferents to prevent interference in measurements.
Primary Standards
- Highly purified compounds that act as reference materials for titrations.
- Criteria for primary standards include: high purity, stability, minimal moisture absorption, reasonable molecular weight, reasonable solubility, and affordability.
Equivalent Concepts
- Equivalents (n): Amount of one chemical reacting with another in a stoichiometric manner.
- Equivalent Weight (EW) defined as molecular weight (MW) divided by the number of equivalents (n).
- Normality (N) calculated as the concentration of a solution (moles of solute per liter) times the number of equivalents.
Acid-Base Titrations
- Distinction between acidimetry and alkalimetry based on the concentration of acidic or basic components.
- Formulas involving pH relationships during titrations summarize how to calculate concentrations and requirements.
Titration Techniques
- Direct Titration: Standard EDTA is slowly added to the analyte until endpoint reached.
- Indirect Titration involves precipitating with a metal cation, then titrating the precipitate.
- Displacement Titrations used for water hardness, assessing the total concentration of polyvalent ions.
Water Hardness Measurement
- Hardness assessed as total calcium and magnesium concentration in ppm CaCO3.
- Temporary hardness results from soluble bicarbonates that can be removed by boiling.
- Permanent hardness results from insoluble salts which cannot be removed by boiling.
Titration Examples
- Calculation of hardness based on EDTA titrations provides express quantification of water hardness in mg CaCO3 per liter.
- Specific examples showcase sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid titrations that highlight stoichiometric relationships.
