Study Notes

Volumetric Methods of Analysis

  • Volumetric analysis, also called titrimetric analysis, measures solution volume to determine analyte concentration
  • Involves titration, a method used to determine the concentration of a solution by measuring the volume needed to react with another
  • Dumas method: used to find nitrogen proportions in organic compounds by burning a sample and measuring the nitrogen gas produced
  • Basic principles: Unknown chemical solution reacts with a reagent of known concentration (titration). An indicator shows when the reaction is completed (endpoint).
  • Endpoint is the point where the indicator color changes, denoting the completion of the reaction
  • Important terms: Normality (gram-equivalents of solute per liter of solution); Molarity (moles of solute per liter of solution); Endpoint (when the reaction is almost complete); Indicator (material that signifies when a result is achieved, often via color change)
  • Standard solution has a known concentration

Procedure for Volumetric Analysis

  • Titration setup: analyte placed in a beaker/flask. Titrant in burette/pipette, with indicator added
  • Accurate sample weight is important (+/- 0.0001 g)
  • Proper titrant selection needed, reactants are chosen to react quickly and efficiently
  • Titrant added gradually until indicator color changes (endpoint)
  • Accurate molarity calculation using known volume of reagent
  • Endpoint accuracy: difference between permanent and temporary indicator change is important

Acid-Base Indicators

  • Acid-base indicators change color at a specific pH, useful in titrations
  • Common indicator: Phenolphthalein (colorless in acid, pink in alkali)
  • Suitable indicator selection crucial, depending on the reaction type (acid/strong alkali, weak acid/strong alkali)
  • Methyl orange is a suitable indicator for weak base titrations

Oxidation-Reduction Indicators

  • Redox reactions involve electron transfer, changing oxidation states
  • Titrations monitor reaction potential, not concentration.
  • Redox titration: used to determine unknown analyte concentrations based on redox reactions, following by identifying whether the elements involved are undergoing either reduction or oxidation
  • Redox reactions: addition of hydrogen or removing oxygen or accepting electrons, or a decrease of oxidation state
  • Oxidation points: addition of oxygen, removal of hydrogen that was previously attached to the species, accepting/loss of electrons, or increase in oxidation state.

Additional Notes

  • Important apparatus for volumetric analysis: burettes, pipettes, measuring flasks, cylinders, flasks, beakers, etc
  • Standard solution is necessary for determination, its concentration must be known.
  • Iodometric titration is a specific type of redox titration involves reduction of iodine through a reducing agent, ending with a color change when reacting with a starch indicator
