    Study Notes

    Types of Titrations

    • Volumetric titrations measure the volume of a solution of known concentration needed to react completely with the analyte.
    • Gravimetric titrations measure the mass of the reagent instead of its volume.
    • Coulometric titrations use a constant direct electrical current of known magnitude that consumes the analyte.

    Standard Solutions

    • A standard solution is a reagent of known concentration used in titrations and other chemical analyses.

    Back-Titration

    • Back-titration determines the excess of a standard solution used to consume an analyte by titrating with a second standard solution.
    • Back-titrations are often required when the rate of reaction between the analyte and reagent is slow or when the standard solution lacks stability.

    Titration Points

    • The equivalence point is when the amount of added standard reagent is equivalent to the amount of analyte.
    • The end point is when a physical change occurs, indicating chemical equivalence, such as a color change with phenolphthalein.

    Standards

    • A primary standard is an ultrapure compound that serves as the reference material for titrations and other quantitative analyses.
    • A secondary standard is a compound whose purity has been determined by chemical analysis and serves as the working standard material.

    Standardization

    • Standardization determines the concentration of a volumetric solution by titrating it against a primary or secondary standard or another standard solution.

    Solution Concentration

    • Molar concentration is the number of moles of reagent contained in one liter of solution.
    • Normal concentration is the number of equivalents of reagent in one liter of solution.
