3rd Exam Redox Titration Flashcards
is based on an oxidation-reduction reaction between the analyte and titrant
Redox titration
agent and reaction
1. gains e-
2. loses e-
- Oxidizing Agent; Reduction
- Reducing Agent; Oxidation
Redox titration most commonly use a ______ or a ______ to determine the endpoint.
potentiometer or a redox indicato
The vertical axis in oxidation/reduction titration curves is generally an ________ instead of logarithmic functions
electrode potential
True or False
The conc. can be obtained from the stoichiometric reaction.
False
the conc. cannot be obtained from
the stoichiometric reaction. Fortunately, equivalence-point potentials are readily obtained by taking advantage of the fact that the two reactant species have known conc. ratios at chemical equivalence.
Derivation of Redox Titration Curves (4)
a. initial potential
b. potential after initial addition
c. equivalence-point potential
d. potential after the excess addition
Two Types of Indicator
General Redox Indicator
Specific Indicator
substances that change color upon being oxidized or reduced. The color change is independent of the chemical nature of the analyte and titrant and depend instead upon the changes in the electrode potential of the system that occur as the titration progresses.
General Redox Indicator
3 Examples of General Redox Indicator
a. Iron(II) Complexes of Orthophenanthrolines
b. Diphenylamine and its Derivatives
c. Iodine Solutions
known as phenanthroline that form stable complexes with iron(II) and certain other ions.
Iron(II) Complexes of Orthophenanthrolines
widely used in oxidation/reduction reactions involving iodine as an oxidant or iodide ion as the reductant.
Iodine Solutions
the best known specific indicator which forms a dark blue complex with triiodide ion.
Starch indicator
the analyte in an oxidation/reduction titration must be in a what oxidation state at the outset?
single oxidation state
however, steps that precede the titration frequently convert the analyte to a mixture of oxidation state
Is added on the solution to turn the analyte in single oxidation state?
Auxiliary Reducing and Oxidizing Agents
It is a number of metals are good auxiliary reducing agents and have been used for prediction of analytes?
What are the example of these metals?
Auxiliary Reducing Reagents
Zn, Al, Cd, Pb, Ni, Cu, and Ag (in the presence of chloride ion)
T or F
sticks or coils of the metals that are auxiliary reducing agent can be immersed directly in the analyte solution in order to covert the analyte into single oxidation state.
True
After removing the solid, it is necessary to filter the solution to remove granular or powdered forms of the metal.
why should we remove unreacted auxiliary reducing agent from the analyte?
any unreacted auxiliary reducing agent will react with the titrant, it is removed before we begin the titration by removing the coiled wire or by filtering
an alternative method for using an auxiliary reducing agent where the amount of the reductant is selected to ensure the analyte’s complete reduction
use of reductor or reduction column
Give the 2 examples of reductor as an alternative of filtration.
Walden Reductor: Ag(s) + Cl- -> AgCl(s) + e-
Jones Reductor: Zn(Hg) (s) -> Zn2+ + Hg + 2e-
Auxilliary Oxidizing Reagents (3)
- Sodium Bismuthate (NaBiO3)
- Ammonium Peroxydisulfate
- Sodium Peroxide and Hydrogen Peroxide
- powerful auxiliary oxidizing agent capable of converting manganese(II) quantitatively to permanganate ion.
- a sparingly soluble salt but its exact composition is uncertain.
Sodium Bismuthate (NaBiO3)
powerful auxiliary oxidizing agent that converts Cr(III) to dichromate, Ce(III) to Ce(IV), and Mn(II) to permanganate in acidic solutions
Ammonium Peroxydisulfate
a convenient auxiliary oxidizing agent either as a solid sodium salt or as a dilute solution of the acid.
Sodium Peroxide and Hydrogen Peroxide
➢Standard solutions of most reducing agents tend to react with atmospheric oxygen. For this reason, reductants are seldom used for the ________titrations of oxidizing analytes.
What methods are used to avoid reaction with atmospheric oxygen or air oxidation?
direct titrations;
indirect methods
(Standard Reductants)The two most common indirect methods are based upon:
a. Iron(II) Solutions
b. Sodium Thiosulfate
is readily prepared from iron(II) ammonium sulfate (_______) or form closely related iron(II) ethylenediamine sulfate (________)
Iron(II) Solutions
Mohr’s salt: iron(II) ammonium sulfate
Oesper’s salt: iron(II) ethylenediamine sulfate
air oxidation of iron(II) takes place rapidly in neutral solutions but is inhibited in the presence of ____with the most stable preparations being ____M in H2SO4
acid
0.5 M in H2SO4
moderately strong reducing agent that has been widely used to determine oxidizing agents by indirect procedure that involves iodine as an intermediate.
Sodium Thiosulfate
When using sodium thiosulfate as standard reductant, the end point is the disappearance of the _____?
iodine color
True or False
Sodium thiosulfate solutions is stable since thiosulfate tend to decompose to give sulfur and hydrogen sulfite ion: S2O32- + H+ HSO3- + S(s).
True
Most often, iodine titrations are performed with a suspension of _____ as an indicator.
starch
Iodine test is an example of iodine titrations that uses starch as indicator. Give the result of negative test and positive test.
Negative test: brown / yellow
Positive test: blue / purple
Variables that influence the rate of thiosulfate reaction include (5)
- pH
- presence of microorganisms
- concentration of the solution
- presence of copper (II)
- exposure to sunlight
