TITRIMETRY Flashcards
analytical procedures in which the amount of analyte is determined from the amount of standard reagent required to react with the analyte completely
titrimetric methods
types of titrimetric methods
- Volumetric method
- weight or gravimetric titrimetry
- coulometric titrimetry
type of titrimetric method where it is based on the volume of reagent of known concentration that is consumed by the analyte
volumetric method
type of titrimetric method where the mass of the titrant is measured rather than the volume
weight or gravimetric titrimetry
type of titrimetric method where the “reagent” is a constant direct current of known magnitude that reacts with the analyte; the time required to complete the reaction is measured
coulometric titrimetry
reagent of known concentration that is used to carry out a volumetric analysis
standard solution
performed by slowly adding a standard solution from a buret or other volumetric measurement device to a solution of analyte until the reaction between the two is complete
titration
final - initial = ?
volume needed
point of titration when the amount of added standard reagent exactly equals the amount of analyte
equivalence point
point in the titration where there is a physical change associated with the condition of equivalence
end point
often added to the analyte solution in order to give an observable physical change at or near the equivalence point
indicator
types of indicator
visual and instrumental
type of indicator where it changes in color at the equivalence point
visual indicators
type of indicator where it responds to certain properties of the solution during titration
instrumental indicator
determines the amount of excess standard titrant to be added
back titration
highly purified compound that serves as a reference material in all volumetric method
primary standard
use to prepare standard solution
primary standard
requirements for a primary standard
- high purity
- stable in air
- absence of hydrate water
- readily available at modest cost
- reasonable solubility in the titration medium
- reasonably large formula weight
methods to prepare standard solutions
- direct method
- standardized by titration (weighted quantity of primary standard and measured volume of another standard solution)
standard acids
HCl, HClO4, H2SO4
oxidizing acid
HNO3
standard base
NaOH, KOH, Ba(OH)2
