Acid-Base Titrations Flashcards
Acid-base titrations and oxo-red titrations have 3 requirements: (FSE)
- fast
- Of known and exact stoichiometry
- Have a method to detect the endpoint
HCL + NaOH –>
acid + base –>
- -> NaCl + H2O
- ->salt + water
A neutralized solution has a pH of…?
Does NOT have to be 7. It depends on the nature of the salt formed
How do you standarize a solution?
By using another chemical called a primary standard
A primary standard….(3)
- High purity
- Known composition
- Reacts with known stoichiometry
What primary standard compound did we use to measure the molarity of NaOH?
KHP: potassium acid phthalate
To standardize a solution, you must know…
weight of the KHP and the volume of NaOH solution required to exactly neutralize it
mmol KHP =
mmol NaOH (acid=base)
How did we standardize the HCL solution?
Using the already standardized NaOH solution
The indicator (phenolphthalein) will turn ____ at the end point.
