Titrations

Question 1

Define Titrant

Answer 1

The reagent with a known concentration
Usually delivered from the burette

Question 2

What is the Equivalence Point?

Answer 2

The point where the quantity of the titratant added is the exact amount needed to neutralize the solution containing the analyte

Question 3

Define the End Point

Answer 3

A change in physical property of the solution has been observed, and the titration is finished
Preferably, this is the same as the equivalence point

Question 4

What is Titration Error?

Answer 4

The difference between the end point and the equivalence point

Question 5

What is a Blank Titration

Answer 5

A titration procedure is performed without the analyte present.
It is used to estimate titration error.

Question 6

What is Primary Standard

Answer 6

Lab grade pure chemicals weighed and dissolved in a solution.

Question 7

Define Standardization

Answer 7

Concentration of titration is determined by titrating a primary standard

Question 8

What is a Direct Titration

Answer 8

Titratant is added until the end point is reached

Question 9

What is a Back Totration

Answer 9

A known excess of standard reagent is added to the analyte
This reagent is titrated with a second standard reagent

Question 10

What is Gravimetric Titration?

Answer 10

Titrant is measured by mass, not volume
Concentration is expressed in moles/kg of solution
