ACID – BASE REACTIONS

An acid-base titration is an experimental procedure used to determined the unknown concentration of an acid or base by precisely neutralizing it with an acid or base of known concentration. This lets us quantitatively analyze the concentration of the unknown solution. Acid-base titrations can also be used to quantify the purity of chemicals, and calculate molar mass, molar concentration, mass concentration. Number of ions/particles of crystallization and solubility product.

 This is shown by a colour change in the resulting solution or in an added indicator. The main reason why indicator was used is to determine the end point of the titration or neutralization point or equivalence point.

Strong base and weak acid

No suitable indicator for titration of weak acid and weak base. Any indicator could be used for strong acid and base.

There are only seven (7) strong acids:HCl, HBr, HI, H2SO4, HNO3, HClO3, HClO4

There are only eight (8) strong bases:LiOH, NaOH, KOH, RbOH, CsOH, Ca(OH)2, Sr(OH)2, Ba(OH)2

Example of weak acids are acetic acid, hydrocyanic acid, HF, oxalic acid, ethanoic acid while weak bases are Ammonia, magnesium hydroxide, pyridine, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate.

                Some materials used during acid-base titration and precautions in using some of them:

1.       Weighing bottle                                                2. Burette                            3. Retort stand

4.       Chemical balance                             5. Filter paper                    6. Funnel

7.       Pipette                                                                 8. White tiles                      9. Standard volumetric flask        10. Conical flask.

Precautions in using:

(a)    Pipette

i.                     Rinse the pipette with the solution . it is used to measure i.e base.

ii.                   Avoid air bubbles in the pipette

iii.                  Do not blow the last drop on the pipette.

iv.                 Make sure that the mark to be read is at the level with your eye.

(b)   Burette

i.                     Rinse the burette with acid or allow it to drain after rinsing with distilled water.

ii.                   Make sure that the burette jet is filled.

iii.                  Avoid air bubbles in the burette.

iv.                 Make sure the burette is not leaking.

v.                   Remove the funnel before taking your readings.

vi.                 Avoid inconsistent burette reading

vii.                Take your burette readings with your eyes at the same level as the meniscus to avoid error due to parallax

viii.              Clamp the burette vertically

 

 

(c)    Conical flask

i.                     Do not rinse it with any of the solutions used in the titration but with the distilled water.

ii.                   Wash down with distilled water any drop of the solution that stick by the sides of the conical flask during titration.

Standard solution is a solution of known concentration. The concentration of a solution in mol dm3 is the molar concentration.

A molar solution of a compound is one which contains one mole or the molar mass of the compound in one dm3 of the solution.

Mass concentration(gdm-3) = molar concentration (moldm-3) x molar mass (gmol-1)

Example

What mass of anhydrous sodium trioxocarbonate (iv), Na2CO3, present in 500cm3 of 0.1 mol dm-3.

Solution

Molar mass of Na2CO3 = 2Na + C + 3O

                                           = (2x23) + 12 + (3x16)gmol-1  = 106gmol-1

Volume = 500cm= 0.5 dm3 , molar concentration = 0.1 mol dm-3

Amount(mol)  = molar concentration (moldm-3) x volume (dm3)

                                =  0.1 mol dm-3  x  0.5 dm3 = 0.05 mol

Amount  =

Mass = amount x molar mass

          =  0.05 mol x 106gmol-1 = 5.3g

PRESENTATION

i.The teacher explains mole and mole ratio.

ii. The students chorus the definition of mole and mole ratio

iii. The teacher mentions and shows the students materials used in titration

iv. The students mention the name of materials used in titration

iii. The teacher guides the students in solving some problems on mass-volume relationship

EVALUATION

 The teacher evaluates the lessons by asking the following questions:-

1.       Define mole

2.       List 3 materials used in titration

3.       Calculate the relative molecular mass of 0.4g of oxygen occupied at s.t.p 280cm3

ASSIGNMENT

1.       Calculate the molar mass of Ca(OH)2

2.       Convert 5.3g Na2CO3 to mole

3.       Calculate the following reaction equation: MgO(s) + 2HCl(aq)             MgCl2(aq) + H2O(l). what mass of magnesium oxide is needed to neutralize 25.0cm3 of 0.1 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid? [O=16.0; Mg= 24.0]. ans=0.050g
