NEUTRALIZATION TITRATION Flashcards
is widely used to determine the concentration of acidic or basic analytes or analytes that can be converted to acids or bases by suitable treatment
Neutralization Titration
the usual solvent for neutralization titrations because it is convenient, inexpensive, and nontoxic -
it has a low-temperature coefficient of expression
Water
are widely used as standard solutions for titrating bases.
Hydrochloric acid solutions
most frequently used reagent for standardizing acids
Sodium Carbonate
most common base for preparing standard solutions
Sodium hydroxide
It is a nonhygroscopic crystalline solid with a relatively large molar mass (204.2 g/mol).
Potassium Hydrogen Phthalate (KHC8H4O4 )
It has limited solubility in water, so it is usually dissolved in ethanol prior to dilution with water and titration
Benzoic Acid
Is an excellent primary standard with a high molar mass per mole of protons.
Potassium Hydrogen Iodate KH(IO3 )2
Two Types of End Points in Neutralization Titration
Visual End Points
Potentiometric End Point
occurs in a wide variety of substances of interest in the life sciences, in industry, and in agriculture
Nitrogen
developed by the Danish chemist Johan Kjeldahl, who first described it in 1883
most common method for determining organic nitrogen
Kjeldahl Method
the sample is mixed with powdered copper(II) oxide and ignited in a combustion tube to give carbon dioxide, water, nitrogen, and small amounts of nitrogen oxides.
Dumas method
___ in organic and biological materials is conveniently determined by burning the sample in a stream of oxygen.
sulfur
are conveniently determined by conversion to ammonia with strong base followed by distillation.
Ammonium Salts
very common organic acids
Carboxylic and Sulfonic Acid Groups
