Strong Acid - Strong Acid - Strong Base Strong Base

TitrationTitrationIn strong acid – strong base titration, there are three regions of the titration curve that represent different kinds of calculations :

- before equivalence point

- at equivalence point

- after equivalence pointExample :

Consider the titration of 50.00 ml of 0.020 M KOH with 0.10 M HBr

KOH + HBr H2O + KBr

Before titration :

Moles of HO- present = (0.050 l)(0.020 mol/l)

= 0.001 moles

Page 3: Acid-Base Titration Things to learn : - strong acid – strong base titration - weak acid – strong base titration - strong acid – weak base titration - prediction

What happens when 3.00 ml of HBr is added ?No. of moles in 3.00 ml HBr = (0.003)(0.10)

= 0.0003

Moles of HO- unconsumed = 0.001 – 0.0003

= 0.007

Since the volume in the flask in now 53 ml,

[HO-] in the flask = (0.007 mol)/(0.053 l)

= 0.0132 M

What happens at the equivalence point ?

Page 4: Acid-Base Titration Things to learn : - strong acid – strong base titration - weak acid – strong base titration - strong acid – weak base titration - prediction

At the equivalence point, the H+ is just sufficient to react with all the HO- to form water. The pH is determined by the dissociation of water.

Since there is 0.001 mol HO- in the flask, 0.001 mol H+ must be added to reach equivalence point

Volume of H+ added = =10 ml

Let : x = [H+] = [HO-]

Kw = [H+] [HO-] = x2

x = 1.00 x 10-7

pH = 7.00

pH at the equivalence point in any strong acid – strong base titration will be 7.00 at 25oCWhat happens after the equivalence point ?

When 10.50 ml of HBr is added to the solution :

moles of excess H+ = (0.0005 l)(0.10 mol/l)

= 0.00005 mol

Concentration of excess H+ =

In weak acid – strong base titration, the titration curve consists of four regions :

- before any base is added

HA H+ + A-

- before the equivalence point : solution consists of a mixture of unreacted HA and A-

- at the equivalence point : all the HA has been converted to A-

A- + H2O HA + HO-

- beyond the equivalence point : excess strong base is added and the pH of the solution is determined by the amount of strong base

Example :

Consider a 50.0 ml solution of 0.020 M HA with pKa = 6.15 which is treated with

0.10 M NaOH

At the equivalence point, sufficient amount of NaOH has been added to react with all the HA

Moles of HA present = (0.050 l)(0.020 M)

Now there is excess NaOH in the solution

Since NaOH is a strong base, we can say that the pH is determined by the concentration of the excess NaOH

When 10.10 ml of NaOH is added there is an excess of 0.10 ml of NaOH.

Since it is a strong acid, therefore reaction goes essentially to completion

In weak base – strong acid titration, the titration curve consists of four regions :

- before any acid is added:

Since the solution at equivalence point contains BH+ , thus the pH should be below 7- after the equivalence point

There is excess HA in the solution. Since HA is a strong acid, it determines the pH (contribution from the hydrolysis of BH+ is comparatively small and can be neglected)

Titration in Titration in Diprotic SystemsDiprotic Systems

Treatment is an extension from the monoprotic system

Example :

Consider the titration of 10 ml of 0.10 M base, B, with 0.10 M HCl. The base is

dibasic with pKb1 = 4.00 and pKb2 = 9.00.

Calculate the pH at each point along the titration curveBefore an acid is added :

Finding the End Finding the End PointPoint

Titrations are commonly performed to determine :

- how much analyte is present

- the equilibrium constants of the analyte

How would one determine the end point ?(i) Autotitrator

- pH is measured by electrodes immersed in the analyte solution

pH/ V and (pH/ V)/ V are computed

- when pH/ V is maximum and (pH/ V)/ V = 0 end point

(ii) Indicator

An acid-base indicator is itself an acid or base whose various protonated species have different colours : eg phenolphthalein

Hln In- + H+

pH = pK1 + log

The indicator changes color over a pH range

Generally only one color is observed if the ratio of the concentrations of the two forms is 10:1

[In-][Hln]

acid color base color

Page 24: Acid-Base Titration Things to learn : - strong acid – strong base titration - weak acid – strong base titration - strong acid – weak base titration - prediction

So the pH in going from one color to the other has changed from (pK1 - 1) to (pK1

+ 1) most indicators require a transition range of about two pH units

The pH range over which the color changes is called the transition range

0.7< pH< 2.7 8.0< pH< 9.6

When only the color of the unionized form is seen :

=

pH = pK1 + log = pK1

- 1When only the color of the ionized form is seen :

= pH = pK1 + 1

Choosing an Choosing an IndicatorIndicator

An indicator with a color change near pH 5.54 would be useful in determining the end point of the titration.

The closer the point of color change is to pH 5.54 the more accurate will be the end point

The difference between the observed end point (when there is a color change) and the true equivalence point is called the indicator error

Use only a few drops of dilute indicator solution for each titration
