NON-AQUEOUS AND DOUBLE INDICATOR Flashcards
refers to a type of titration in which the analyte
substance is dissolved in a solvent which does
not contain water.
Non – Aqueous
Titration
Non – Aqueous
Titration most common titrimetric procedure used in
pharmacopoeial assays
When to use
Non –
Aqueous
Titration?
If reactants are insoluble in
water such as ______
organic acids
and bases
When to use
Non –
Aqueous
Titration?
If reactants
are ______
with water
reactive
When to use
Non –
Aqueous
Titration?
______ must be
avoided or at least
limited to ______
Moisture
0.05%
Advantages OF NON-AQUEOUS TITRATION
- Titration of water insoluble drugs
- Titration of weakly acidic and basic
drugs - Titration of water sensitive drugs like
ASA and polyphenols - Wider pH range as compared to
water - Simple, fast, precise and accurate
Bronsted-Lowry
❖ Acid is a
PROTON DONOR
Bronsted-Lowry Base is a
PROTON ACCEPTOR
solvent with neutral charge and are chemically inert
APROTIC SOLVENTS
solvents that generally have low dielectric constant
APROTIC SOLVENTS
EXAMPLES OF APROTIC SOLVENTS
CHLOROFORM AND BENZENE
solvents which are basic character and tend to react with the acids they come in contact with, leading to the formation of solvated protons
PROTOPHILIC SOLVENTS
EXAMPLES OF PROTOPHILIC SOLVENTS
AMMONIA AND PYRIDINE
more acidic in character and tends to have levelling effect on the bases they come in contact with.
PROTOGENIC SOLVENTS
EXAMPLES OF PROTOGENIC SOLVENTS
SULPHURIC ACID AND ACETIC ACID
protophilic as well as protogenic
AMPHIPROTIC SOLVENTS
Examples of amphiprotic solvents
Acetic acid and alcohol
Disadvantages of non-oqueous titration
Temperature, moisture and carbon dioxide should be controlled properly
Expensive solvents
Volatile solvents
Some are hazardous
Acid titrant for non-aqueous titration
Perchloric acid in glacial acetic acid or dioxane
Base titrant for non-aqueous titration
Sodium metoxide, lithium metoxide in ethylenediamine, n-butylamine and morpholine
Acidimetric weak bases
❖Crystal violet, malachite green,
quinaldine red, methylrosaniline
Acidimetric relatively stronger bases
Methyl orange, methyl red, Thymol blue
Alkalimetric weak acid
Azoviolet
Alkalimetric strong acid
Thymol blue
It is used to determine the composition of certain mixtures
Double indicator titration
Phenolphthalein changes in color within the pH range of
8.0-10
Methyl orange changes in color within the pH range of
3.2 to 4.4
If phenolphthalein is higher than methyl orange that is used in the hydrochloric acid what could be the possible composition of the mixture
Sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate
If phenolphthalein is lower than methyl orange that is used in the hydrochloric acid what could be the possible composition of the mixture
Sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate
