CALCULATION IN VOLUMETRIC ANALYSIS

Calculation in volumetric analysis involve:

i.                     Balanced  equation of the reaction.

ii.                   Volume of solution used and

iii.                  Concentration of the standard solution

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

                    n =  c x v

An expression in term of concentration of A and B is  =  = mole ratio

PREPARATION OF STANDARD SOLUTION

A standard solution of a substance can be prepared, if the substance can be obtained in pure state, by weighing accurately a definite mass of the substance, dissolving it in a suitable solvent, usually water, and making up the solution to a known volume in a volumetric flask.

When a substance is not available in the pure form a solution of approximate concentration is first prepared, and then standardized (i.e, its actual concentration determined) by titrating against a standard solution of a pure substance. Standard solution of common acids and alkalis cannot be prepared by direct weighing.

Reasons: Some of them are volatile and corrosive liquids, for example HCl, HNO3 and NH3; while H2SO4 is hygroscopic. Other are solids that are deliquescent and hence absorb moisture and carbon(iv) oxide, from the atmosphere, e.g KOH and NaOH pellets.

A substance which can be obtained in a high state of purity, anhydrous, non-deliquescent, non-hygroscopic, readily soluble in water or in the required solvent, and hence suitable for the preparation of a standard solution is called a primary standard. Example are anhydrous sodium trioxocarbonate (iv), Na2CO3, and benzoic acid, C6H5COOH. A substance which is hydrated, but does not efflorescent can be used in the preparation of a standard solution. Such a substance is also a primary standard. An example is the dibasic organic acid called hydrated ethanedioc acid (H2C2O4), oxalic acid (H2C2O4. 2H2O).

HOW TO CALCULATE VOLUME OF SOLUTION TO BE DILUTED

Concentrated acid or alkalis are always diluted with the appropriate solvent before being used for titration or otherwise. The volume , Vo, of such a commercial product required to prepare a dilute solution of volume Vd and of a molar concentration Cd is given by  Vo =  

Where  and d is the % by mass and density respectively.

Example

Calculate the molar concentration of 20.2cm3 of conc. H2SO4 of specific gravity 1.80gcm-3 and 98% of acid (H2SO4 = 98).

Solution

Vd = 1dm3, Vo = 20.2cm3; d = 1.80gcm-3 ; P = 98%; Cd =?

Vo =      ; =   =   =   = 3.636 moldm-3

 

 

 

RECORDING IN TITRATION

Titration work could be recorded thus:

1.       State the size of pipette used in cm3.

2.       Name the indicator used

3.       Record your titration in tabular form as shown below:

Burette reading

Rough or Trial (cm3)

1st titre (cm3)

2nd titre (cm3)

3rd titre (cm3)

Final reading

 

 

 

 

Initial reading

 

 

 

 

Volume of acid used

 

 

 

 

Find the average volume of acid used from any two or more titre values that do not differ by more than 0.20 cm3 (Rough titre value may be used in averaging as long as the difference of any two titre values is within 0.20cm3).

Example

1.A solution of trioxonitrate(v) acid contained 0.67g in 100cm3. 31.0cm3 of this solution neutralized 25cm3 of a sodium trioxocarbonate (iv) solution. Calculate the concentration of the  trioxocarbonate (iv) solution (HNO3 =63, Na2CO3 = 106).

Solution

100cm3 dissolves 0.67g of HNO3

1000cmwill dissolves   of HNO3 i.e 6.7g

Molar conc.  of  A =   =  = 0.106moldm3

2.A is a solution of an impure H2SO4 containing 16g in 1dm3 of solution. B is a solution of pure NaOH containing 1.5g in 250cm3. If 25.0cm3 portion of B required an average of 15.50cm3 for complete neutralization. Calculate the:

(a) Conc. of solution B in moldm-3    (b) Conc. of A in moldm-3      (c) Conc. of the pure acid in solution A in gdm-3

(d) number of H+ in 1.0dm3 of solution A  (NA = 6.02x1023 (e) % of impurity in solution A.

Solution

(a)250cm3 dissolves 1.5g of NaOH

(c ) molar mass of H2SO4 = 2H + S + 4O = [(2x1) + 32 + (4x16)] = 2+32+64 = 98gmol-1

Mass conc. = molar conc. x molar mass

                       =  0.121 moldm-3 x  98gmol-1  = 11.9gdm-3

1 mol of H2SO4 produces 2 mol of Haq+

0.121 mol of H2SO4 produces 0.242 mol of Haq+

1 mol of Haq+ contain  6.02x1023 ions

0.242 mol of Haq+ contain  6.02x1023 X 0.204 ions = 1.46x1023 ions

(e)mass conc. of impure acid in solution A =16gdm-3

mass conc. of pure acid in solution A =11.9gdm-3

mass conc. of the impurity  =16 – 11.9gdm-3 = 4.10
