Preparation and Standardization Flashcards
[ZnSO4] Type of titration and reaction
Direct complexometry
Complexation
[ZnSO4] Full name and formula
0.05 M Zinc Sulfate VS
ZnSO4•7H2O
[ZnSO4] Standard, indicator, endpoint
Standard: 0.05 M edetate disodium VS
Indicator: Dithizone TS (Diphenylthiocarbazone)
Endpoint: Dark green-violet to rose pink
[ZnSO4] Titration conditions and rationale
pH = 4.6
EDTA-Zn2+ complex is favored and stable at pH of 4.6
[ZnSO4] General preparation procedure
Dissolve ZnSO4 in water
[ZnSO4] General standardization procedure
Transfer disodium edetate VS to EF
Add (in order):
HOAc-NH4OAc buffer TS + alcohol + dithizone TS
Titrate w/ ZnSO4 solution
[ZnSO4] RFIS
Buffer added to maintain pH at 4.6
Alcohol as solvent since dithizone is insoluble in water alone
[ZnSO4] Chemical equation and factor
Na2EDTA + ZnSO4 -> ZnEDTA + Na2SO4
f = 1
Metal ions combine w/ EDTA in a 1:1 mole ratio regardless of charge
[Iodine] Full name
0.1 N Iodine VS
[Iodine] Type of titration and reaction
Titration: Direct iodimetric
Reaction: Redox
[Iodine] Standard, indicator, endpoint
Standard: 0.1 N sodium thiosulfate VS Indicator: Starch TS Endpoint: Brown to straw-colored (w/o starch) Intense blue to colorless (w/ starch)
[Iodine] Titration conditions
pH not higher than 8
Away from light
Use glass-stoppered flask
[Iodine] General preparation procedure
Dissolve iodine in 36% KI
Add HCl (3 gtt)
Dilute to volume w/ water
Transfer to amber bottle
[Iodine] General standardization procedure
Transfer iodine solution to IF Dilute to 100 mL Add 1 N HCl Swirl and titrate w/ 0.1 N Na2S2O3 VS When solution is pale yellow, add starch TS Continue titration
[Iodine] RFIS
Weigh iodine and KI in weighing bottles since I2 sublimes and Ki is deliquescent (Do not use steel spatula)
KI decreases vapor pressure and increases solubility of I2 (formation of triiodide ion)
HCl added to prevent iodine hydrolysis
(I2 + H2O -> HIO + HI)
(2HIO -> 2HI + O2)
and to increase sensitivity of starch
Dilute to prevent decomposition of Na2S2O3 in acid
(Na2S2O3 + HCl -> S + H2O + SO2)
Iodine flask to prevent escape of I2
Starch because inexpensive, sensitive, highly visible even at low concentrations
Starch is added when solution is straw-colored because:
I2 may cause starch decomposition
Complex formation reversibility is decreased
Keep away from light because I2 may decompose
Room temp. is optimally 25C because indicator sensitivity is decreased by high temp.
[NH4SCN] Full name
0.1 N Ammonium Thiocyanate VS
[Iodine] Chemical Equations and factor
I2 + 2Na2S2O3 -> 2NaI + Na2S4O6
f = 2 (2 e- gained by I2)
[NH4SCN] Type of titration and reaction
Direct argentometric titration (Volhard method)
Volumetric precipitation
[NH4SCN] Standard, indicator, endpoint
Standard: 0.1 N AgNO3 VS
Indicator: Ferric ammonium sulfate TS (FeNH4(SO4)2)
Endpoint: Colorless to reddish brown solution (Fe(SCN)3)
[NH4SCN] Titration conditions
Room temperature
Away from light
[NH4SCN] General preparation procedure
Dissolve NH4SCN in water
[NH4SCN] General standardization procedure
Accurately measure 0.1 N AgNO3 VS into glass-stoppered flask
Dilute with water
Add HNO3 + FeNH4(SO4)2 TS
Titrate w/ NH4SCN
[NH4SCN] RFIS
NH4SCN must be protected from air because deliquescent (also, slight excess is used in preparation to account for deliquescence)
AgNO3 undergoes photo catalytic decomposition to Ag, so keep away from light
HNO3 is used to acidify the solution to prevent ferric salt hydrolysis (common in neutral solutions)
FeNH4(SO4)2 is used as indicator because it forms reddish brown complex w/ excess SCN- (FeSCN 2+)
[NH4SCN] Chemical equations and factor
Precipitation:
AgNO3 + NH4SCN -> AgSCN + NH4NO3
Rxn w/ indicator:
FeNH4(SO4)2 + 3NH4SCN -> Fe(SCN)3 + 2(NH4)2SO4
f = 1 (valency of precipitating cation is 1)
