Acid - Base Titration
2
What is a Titration? A titration is a procedure used in chemistry to determine the concentration of an unknown acid or base. A titration uses a neutralization reaction and stoichiometry to calculate the concentration of the unknown solution.
3
Titration An example: A chemist titrates 25.0 mL of H 2 SO 4 with a solution of 1.25M NaOH. The end point is reached when 33.8mL of the NaOH is added.
4
Titration Identify the following components of the titration: NaOH H 2 SO 4
5
Titration Identify the following components of the titration: NaOH The “titrant” - this is the solution with the known concentration. It is also called the “standard” H 2 SO 4
6
Titration Identify the following components of this titration: NaOH The “titrant” - this is the solution with the known concentration. It is also called the “standard”. H 2 SO 4 The “unknown” - this is the solution with the unknown concentration. We determine this solution concentration by stoichiometry.
7
Titration What is the reaction equation? 2NaOH (aq) + 1H 2 SO 4(aq) 2H 2 O (l) + 1Na 2 SO 4(aq) This is a neutralization reaction. We reach the neutral point (also known as the equivalence point) when the moles of H + = moles of OH -.
8
Titration How do you know when the equivalence point is reached? You use an indicator solution that changes colour near the pH of the neutral point.
