Titrations Flashcards
Equivalence Point
Point when quantity of added titrant is the exact necessary to react with analyte.
Moles titrant = moles analyte
End Point
When titration is OBSERVED to be complete
-sudden physical property change
Indicator
Compound wiand h a physical property that abruptly changes NEAR the equivalence point
Titration Error
Difference between end point and equivalence point
-can be estimated with a blank
Blank Titration
Titration performed without the analyte
Primary Standard
Titrant prepped by dissolving a weighed amount of pure reagent in a known volume of solution
Primary Standard Requirements
99.9% purity
Won’t decompose under normal storage
Be stable when dried
Standardization
Process of determining titrant concentration
Standard Solution
Titrant that has been standardized
Titrant
Reagent solution.
Solution added to analyte
Direct Titration
Add titrant to analyte until reaction is complete
Indirect Titration
Titration the product of the reaction between the analyte and another reagent
Back Titration
Add a known excess of one standard reagent and titrate excess with another standard
