Q

What are the main types of titration reactions?

A

Ion combination reactions: Acid-base, precipitation and complexometric reactions.

Electron transfer reactions: Redox.

20
Q

What are the main charactoristics of a titration reaction?

A

It is fast
It is complete
It has no alternative reactions

21
Q

What is primary reagent indication?

A

One of the reactants or products indicates the equivilence point. Only works if one of the reactants or products are coloured.

22
Q

What is ancillary reagent indication?

A

This is where a dye is added as an indicator.

23
Q

What is instrumental indication?

A

Electrochmical methods are used to estimate the equivalence point.

24
Q

What is standardisation?

A

The exact concentration of a titrant in measured with respect to a primary standard.

25
Q

What properties should a primary standard have?

A

A primary standard should:

A readily available solid
Of a known composition
A substance that can weighed out in a pure, dry form
Stable in solution
Reaction with the tritrand via a suitible reaction
Have a high molecular weight

26
Q

What is the process of standardisation?

A
  1. Make up the titrant solution
  2. Make up the solution of the primary standard.
  3. Titrate the primary standard against the titrant solution.
  4. Use the results to calculate the accurate concentration of the titrant.
27
Q

What is the pH end point and colour change of bromothymol blue?

A

pH 6.9

Yellow (acid)/blue (alkali)

28
Q

What is the pH end point and colour change of methyl orange?

A

pH 3.5

red (acid)/yellow (alkali)

29
Q

What is the pH end point and colour change of phenolphthalein?

A

pH 9.5

Colourless (acid)/red (alkali)

30
Q

At what point on a titration curve is the equivalence point estimated to be?

A

The point at which the slope is steepest.

31
Q

What can the precipitaion reaction between silver nitrate and sodium chloride be used to estimate?
What indicator is used?

A

The quantity of salt in the sea.

Potassium chromate. Turns from yellow to red when it reacts with excess silver ions

32
Q

What is a complexometric titration?

A

A complex is formed when a metal cation and ligand react together.

33
Q

What is the most important titrant in complexometric analysis?

A

EDTA

Bond to metal cations in a 1:1 ratio

34
Q

What is a complex?

A

A compound containing a metal atom surrounded by ligands.

Complexes can be charged and neutral

35
Q

What is a ligand?

A

A molecule bound to a metal centre in a complex

36
Q

What charges are EDTA complexes best formed with?

A

4+ > 3+ > 2+

1+ will form a salt, not a complex

37
Q

What pH are Metal-EDTA complexes most stable?

How can this be benificial?

A

Most stable at higher pH

Controlling the pH can allow some metals to be selectively titrated.

38
Q

What properties should an indicator in a complexometric titration have?

A

Should react with excess metal ions and give a colour change when it does so

Should complex more strongly with the metal than the titrant.

39
Q

What indicator should be used in a alkaline complexometric titration?

And what is the colour change?

A

Eriochrome black (pH10)

Blue (uncomplexed)/ red ( complexed)

40
Q

What indicator is most suitible for Mg2+, Sr2+, Ca2+

A

Eriochrome black

41
Q

What indicator should be used in an acidic complexometric titration?

And what is the colour change?

A

Xylenol orange (pH5)

Yellow (uncomplexed)/ red (complexed)

42
Q

What is concentration and its relationship?

A

The mass of a substance per dm. has units of g/dm^3

43
Q

What is molarirty and its relationship?

A

The number of moles per dm. has units of mol/dm^3

n = M x V

44
Q

What is stoichiometry?

A

It is the ratio of moles of reactants and products involved in a reaction

45
Q

What is a redox reaction?

A

A reaction where are transfered from a reductant to an oxidant.

it is the combination of half equations
