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
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
pH of solution =-log [H+] = -log
= 12.12
Kw
[HO-]
What happens at the equivalence point ?
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
0.001 mol0.10 mol/l
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+ =
=8.26 x 10-4 M
pH = -log (8.26 x 10-4 )

TitrationTitrationStrong + weak complete reaction
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

Consider a 50.0 ml solution of 0.020 M HA with pKa = 6.15 which is treated with
0.10 M NaOH
Before the addition of NaOH :

Let x = [H+] =[A-]

What happens when 3.0 ml of 0.10 M NaOH is added ?
When NaOH is added, a mixture of HA and A- is created a buffer
Moles of NaOH added = (0.003 l)(0.10 M)

Concentration of A- = = 5.66 x 10-3 M
Moles of HA left = (0.050 l)(0.020 M) – 0.0003

What happens at the equivalence point ?
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)

Volume of NaOH added = (0.0010)/(0.10 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.

TitrationTitrationB + H+ BH+
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:
B + H2O BH+ + HO-
- before the equivalence point – solution is a buffer
B + HA BH+ + A-
BH+ + H2O B + H3O+
pH = pKa (for BH+) + log

[B][BH+]
- at the equivalence point
B + HA BH+ + A-
BH+ + H2O B + H3O+
pH is obtained by considering the acid dissociation
[BH+] original [B] because of dilution
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 :
B + H2O BH+ + HO-
Let x = [BH+] = [HO-] . Thus

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
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
