chap 7 Flashcards
require the formation of relatively insoluble substances or precipitates to cause the reactions to go to completion; solution must be titrated
Volumetric Precipitimetry
Cessation of precipitation or the appearance of turbidity
-Use of internal indicators
-Instrumental methods
(i.e. potentiometric or amperometric)
Determination of End point
used in both direct and residual titration
a. employs standard ammonium thiocyanate solution
b. thiocyanate reacts with Hg or Ag ions present to form white precipitate of
silver or mercuric thiocyanate
Ferric Ammonium Sulfate (FAS/Ferric Alum)
reacts with Hg or Ag ions present to form white precipitate of
silver or mercuric thiocyanate
thiocyanate
reacts with ferric ammonium sulfate to form a red ferric thiocyanate
the first appearance of of the red color makes the end point of the reaction
thiocyanate ions
AgNO3 + NH4SCN –>
AgSCN + NH4NO3 (white)
FeNH4(SO4)2 + 3 NH4SCN –>
FeSCN + 2 (NH4)2SO4 (RED)
forms a red precipitate of silver chromate which is seen against the background of white silver chloride
Potassium Chromate TS
AgNO3 + NaCl
AgCl+NaNO3
2 AgNO3 + K2CrO4
AgCro4+2KNO3 (Red)
used in the analyses of halides by direct
titration with silver nitrate solution a. Dichlorofluorescein (DCF) TS
b. Eosin Y TS
c. Tetrabromophenolphthalein Ethyl
Ester (TEE) TS
Adsorption Indicators
0.1 N Silver Nitrate
0.1 N Ammonium Thiocyanate
Standard solutions
named after Karl Friedrich Mohr
a. for determining chloride content
b. the chloride is titrated with AgNO3 solution
c. soluble chromate (K2CrO4) is added as indicator
MOHR method
This method is useful for determining chloride in drinking water.
2 Ag+(aq) + CrO42-(aq) YELLOW SOLUTION–>
Ag2CrO4(s) RED PPT
- indirect or back titration procedure
- for determination of anions that
precipitate silver like Cl-, Br-, I-,
SCN- - a measured excess of AgNO3
solution is added to precipitate the anion
VOLHARD METHOD
the excess in back titration is titrated with standard NH4SCN
- uses ferric ammonium sulfate as indicator
- named after Jacob Volhard
VOLHARD METHOD
added to form a film over the precipitated AgCl
NITROBENZENE
makes use of adsorption indicators
- typically DCF for Cl-
- he endpoint is marked by
green suspension turning to pink
FAJANS METHOD
is suitable for titrating against Br-, I-, SCN-
EOSIN
type of titration involving silver ions
-used to determine Cl- in a sample
-sample is titrated against a solution of AgNO3
Argentometry
precipitate organic nitrogen compounds such as alkaloids, amines
- also used for ammonium, K and Ag ions
- uses chloroform as extraction indicator
Sodium Tetraphenylboron Titrations
precipitate organic nitrogen compounds such as alkaloids, amines
- also used for ammonium, K and Ag ions
- uses chloroform as extraction indicator
SODIUM TETRAPHENYLBORON TITRATIONS
for metal determination using EDTA
(ethylenediamine tetraaceta -te)
COMPLEXATION METHOD
when a metal ion combines with a molecule which can
donate electrons
COMPLEX
combining molecule contains two or more groups that don -ate electrons
CHELATE
will react with metal ions to form a water soluble, stable complex or chelate compound
EDTA
4 oxygen and 2 nitrogen atoms of EDTA make
HEXADENTATE molecule
more preferred
over the free acid because it is more water soluble, nonhygroscopic and very stable
EDTA (disodium salt)
determination of metal in the presence of another metal
- Zn will not interfere with Ca titrations at a pH of 13
