Describe the process of titration and apply it to a laboratory investigation.

Mastery of Previous Material Required Stoichiometry Chemicals react based upon moles (review lesson 4.06) Molar mass (review lesson 2.04, 3.09, 4.06) Molar mass is the mass in grams of one mole of your chemical, according to the periodic table Molarity Lesson 5.06/5.07 Molarity formula: M = mole solute liter solution Remember: the brackets around a formula indicates concentration in Molarity: [H2O]

H2O + H2O OH- + H3O+ pH and Water Water is amphoteric Water has the ability to behave as both an acid and a base, depending on the properties of the other reactant. Water molecules can react with each other. One water molecule, acting as an acid, donates a hydrogen ion to another water molecule, acting as a base. H2O + H2O OH- + H3O+

H2O + H2O OH- + H3O+ pH and water Oftentimes, we say “hydrogen” ions in solution. However, it really is the hydronium ion, H3O+ In pure water, the concentrations of hydroxide and hydronium ions are equal. Pure water behaves as a very weak acid or base. Pure water is a very poor electrolyte. Do you know why? Pure water is neutral because it contains equal amounts of hydroxide and hydronium ions.

Acidic Solution = [H3O+] > [OH-] Acidic Solutions H2O + H2O OH- + H3O+ In an acidic solutions, the concentration of hydronium ions is greater than the concentration of the hydroxide ions present. Acidic Solution = [H3O+] > [OH-]

Basic Solution = [H3O+] < [OH-] Basic Solutions H2O + NH3 OH- + NH4+ In a basic solutions, the concentration of hydroxide ions is greater than the concentration of hydronium ions. Basic Solution = [H3O+] < [OH-]

pH and Water Acidic Solution = [H3O+] > [OH-] Neutral Solution = [H3O+] = [OH-] Basic Solution = [H3O+] < [OH-] There are more hydronium (hydrogen) ions in solution There are more hydroxide ions in solution

pH = - log [H3O+] pH of a Solution The pH scale is a numeric scale used to indicate the hydronium ion concentration of a solution. pH = - log [H3O+] Recall from module 5: Brackets are used to represent concentration in molarity Review Molarity: M = moles solute liter solution

Using Concentration to Solve for pH What is the pH of a 1.2 x 10-3 molar nitric acid, HNO3 solution? pH = - log [H3O+] pH =

Using Concentration to Solve for pH When you are given the [OH-] in a basic solution, you can use that value to find the [H3O+] present using the following relationship: [H3O+] x [OH-] = 1.0 x 10-14 M The value 1.0 x 10-14 is called the ionization constant of water.

Ionization Constant of Water – Formula Sheet We can rearrange the formula to solve for any of the variables [H3O+] x [OH-] = 1.0 x 10-14 M [OH-] = 1.0 x 10-14 M [H3O+] [H3O+] = 1.0 x 10-14 M [OH-]

Using Concentration to Solve for pH – Practice #1 What is the pH of a 2.3 x 10-2 molar NaOH solution?

Practice #2 What is the pH of a solution with a concentration of 6.8 x 10-4 molar H3O+?

Practice #3 What is the pH of a solution with a concentration of 4.2 x 10-5 molar OH-?

Using pH to solve for Concentration Rearrange the pH formula: pH = - log [H3O+] [H3O+] = 10-pH We can determine the concentration of hydronium and hydroxide ions in a solution that has a pH of 2.3 by plugging into the formula above. [H3O+] = 10-2.3 [H3O+] = 0.0050 M

Titration Lab - Vocabulary Buret Stopcock Stoichiometrically Equivalent Endpoint Acid-base indicator Titrant

What is a Titration? Titration is a laboratory method that allows you to determine the concentration of an acid or a base by reacting it with a known concentration of the other. Imagine you have a beaker of HCl, but you don’t know the concentration. Well, if have some NaOH with a KNOWN concentration, we can react them! Once, they are neutralized, we will know how many moles of acid we have! Then, we can calculate its molarity.

Confused? Don’t worry…let’s talk about this one step at a time…

Titration Apparatus Titration is a laboratory method that allows you to determine the concentration of an acid or a base by reacting it with a known concentration of the other. Buret – (burette) narrow piece of glassware that is used to deliver small amounts of one reactant to a flask containing the other reactant. Stopcock – The bottom of the buret can be adjusted, using the stopcock , to release a small stream of liquid or add the reactant drop by drop. Think of turning on/off a faucet.

End Point In a titration, we always react an acid with a base or vice versa. When ‘stoichiometrically equivalent’ amounts of each have reacted, the reaction will be neutral. We call this the End Point. acid + base = neutral (pH=7) Recall that acids have a pH < 7, and bases pH > 7 Stoichiometrically equivalent means: moles of acid = moles of base Then, we can use stoichiometry to calculate moles of the unknown. (we’ll see more about this later)

We must use something to measure the pH: Measuring the pH Most of the time, acids and bases are and form colorless solution. So, how do we know when we have reacted enough? We must use something to measure the pH: *An acid-base indicator (Chemical) A pH meter (instrument)

Acid Base Indicator in our lab Phenolphthalein (Chemical) Turns pink in basic solution

End Point

Part I Titration Solution = titrant The solution that is in a buret is often referred to as the titrant. Be sure to remove all air bubbles from the buret. Why? Be sure the dropper end of the buret is filled with solution as well. It is important to record the initial volume of solution in the buret in your lab sheet and the “notebook” before the titration begins. Solution = titrant Unknown concentration in the flask. The purpose of lab is to determine it!

Part I Titration http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8jdCWC10vQ In part I of the lab, you will use an acid-base indicator to determine the end point of the reaction. Add a few drops of the indicator to the flask before titrating. What would happen if we forgot? In part II of the lab, you will use a pH meter (electronic) to determine the end point of the reaction. The pH at the end point =

Part I Titration When you start the titration, click on the stopcock (turn the knob) to drop a few milliliters of titrant to the flask. Go slowly until you get the hang of it. You will see the indicator change color in the bottom flask when the titrant makes contacts with the solution in the flask. Be sure to constantly stir the solution inside the flask by carefully moving the flask in small circles as the titrant is being added. You will see the color change disappear as you stir. As you near the end point, the color change will begin to linger. Slow down! Add the titrant drop by drop. If you add too much, and the flask is too pink, you will have to start over! Patience is a virtue for this lab.

Part I Titration Your endpoint will look like the picture. The color change should stay after the solution has been stirred for 10 seconds, but it should be so light that you may need to hold a piece of white paper behind the flask to notice the color change. When you have reached the end point, read the final volume in the buret and record it in your data table or notebook.

Part I Titration Calculations (HINTS!) 1. Use subtraction to determine the amount of titrant added from the buret into the flask. Final volume of titrant – initial volume of titrant = volume of titrant used Review: What is the titrant? How do we read a buret?

Reading the Buret (Burette) 0 mL Top: Initial Bottom: Final 50 mL The numbers go in reverse order. 0 mL is at the top (when buret is full, V = 50 mL). Report 2 decimal places! Remember those sig figs from 1st semester (lesson 1.07)

Part I Titration Calculations (HINTS!) 2. Starting with the volume of titrant (NaOH) added and the known molarity of the titrant (given in lab), you can use stoichiometry to solve for the molarity of the substance in the flask (in this case, HCl). NaOH (aq) + HCl (aq)  NaCl (aq) + H2O (l) 1 L NaOH Vol. of titrant used (mL) 0.25 mol NaOH 1 mol HCl x x x 1000 mL titrant 1 L NaOH 1 mol NaOH You will need to put in the volume of your titrant above. The rest of the math is the same!

Part I Titration Calculations 3. Once you have solved for the moles of solute in the flask, divide the moles by the measured volume of solution in the flask to determine the unknown molarity of the solution in the flask. moles of HCl (found in calc #2 you just did) M (HCl) = Volume (L) of HCl you put into the flask at the beginning

Part II: Titration with a pH Meter Titration using a pH meter Record more data, will graph

Part II Titration Lab using pH Meter Same procedure as part I, except the endpoint is detected by a rapid change in pH, rather than the color change of an indicator. If the titration is between a strong acid and strong base, the endpoint is reached when the pH is 7.0 Note: NO COLOR CHANGE OBSERVED FOR THIS PART!!!

Part II pH Graph Your pH graph should look similar to the graph below.
