WEEK 7: Acidimetry Flashcards
The analysis of a base using an accurately measured volume of standard acid solution.
Acidimetry
________ if using an accurately measured volume of a standard acid solution.
DIRECT
DIRECT if using an accurately measured volume of a _________________.
standard acid solution
__________ if the process requires adding an excess of the standard acid solution and determining the amount in excess by residual titration with standard alkali solution.
RESIDUAL
Assay of Sodium Bicarbonate - DIRECT ACIDIMETRIC ASSAY
3 g of NaHCO3 dissolved in 25 ml of water
Add the indicator
Titrate with 1 N Sulfuric acid
Assay of Zinc Oxide - RESIDUAL ACIDIMETRIC ASSAY
accurately weighed sample of zinc oxide
add ammonium chloride
dissolved in 50 mL of 1-N sulfuric acid
Indicator is added
excess acid is titrated with sodium hydroxide until the endpoint is reached.
Calculate the percentage purity of zinc oxide.
A method designed to determine and quantify ammonia in ammonium sulfate obtained by, decomposing organic substance with sulfuric acid.
Kjeldahl Method
These compounds serve as catalysts in Kjeldahl Method.
K2SO4 (Potassium Sulfate)
anhy Na2SO4 (Sodium Sulfate)
CuSO4 (CopperII Sulfate)
Se (Selenium)
What is added if N is as NO3 in Kjeldahl Method?
salicylic acid
USP Methods in Kjeldahl Method
Method I for macroanalysis
Method II for semi-microanalysis
Method I in Kjeldahl Method
macroanalysis
Method II in Kjeldahl Method
semi-microanalysis
Kjeldahl Method is a method designed to determine and quantify __________ in __________________ obtained by decomposing organic substance with sulfuric acid
ammonia in ammonium sulfate
This continues to be the gold standard for comparison with all other procedures and is widely applied internationally.
Kjeldahl Method
It has become a key method for estimating the amount of protein in foods due to its universality, high precision, and good reproducibility.
