PRELIM 02 - Neutralization Titration Flashcards
Chemical processes in which an acid reacts with a base
Neutralization reaction
3 acid-base theories
Arrhenius concept, Brönsted-Lowry/Protonic concept, Lewis acid-base concept
Any substance capable of providing hydrogen ions (H+) in aqueous solution (Arrhenius concept)
Acid
Any substance capable of providing hydroxide ion (OH-) in aqueous solution (Arrhenius concept)
Base
Any substance capable of donating a proton (H+) in a chemical reaction (Brönsted-Lowry concept)
Acid
Any substance capable of accepting a proton (H+) in a chemical reaction (Brönsted-Lowry concept)
Base
Ionizes to produce a proton and the conjugate base of the acid
Brönsted acid
Are usually neutral molecules or anion
Brönsted bases
Species formed when a base accepts a proton
Conjugate acid
Any substance that is an electron acceptor (electron seeking, electrophilic) (Lewis acid-base concept)
Acid
Any substance that is an electron donor (nucleophilic) (Lewis acid-base concept)
Base
Logarithm of the reciprocal of the hydrogen ion activity
pH
An accurately weighed sample of a pure acid or base is titrated to a well-defined equivalence point
Neutralization titration
Are usually weak organic acids or bases in which the undissociated molecule has one color
Acid-base indicators
3 standard alkalimetric solutions
Sodium hydroxide, Potassium hydroxide, Barium hydroxide
Are used to sharpen up the color change
Mixed indicator
Method used for nitrogen determination
Kjeldahl method
4 classification of solvents
Amphiprotic, Aprotic, Basic, Inert solvent
Have both acidic and basic properties
Amphiprotic
Neither acidic nor basic
Aprotic
Most are extremely weak bases
Basic
Do not possess the acidic or basic properties
Inert solvents
A very weak proton acceptor
Acetic acid
Strongest of the common acids in acetic acid solution
Perchloric acid
Added to remove water from aqueous perchloric acid
Acetic anhydride
Titration medium commonly used in nonaqueous titration
Perchloric acid in acetic acid
