Examples of acid-base titration in the following topics:
-
- Acid-base titration can determine the concentrations of unknown acid or base solutions.
- 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.
- Acid-base titrations can also be used to quantify the purity of chemicals.
- strong acid-weak base titration: methyl orange indicator the base is off the scale (e.g., pH > 13.5) and the acid has pH > 5.5: alizarine yellow indicator
- The pH of a weak acid solution being titrated with a strong base solution can be found at each indicated point.
-
- An example of a strong acid-weak base titration is the reaction between ammonia (a weak base) and hydrochloric acid (a strong acid) in the aqueous phase:
- The acid is typically titrated into the base.
- In the case of titrating the acid into the base for a strong acid-weak base titration, the pH of the base will ordinarily start high and drop rapidly with the additions of acid.
- In strong acid-weak base titrations, the pH at the equivalence point is not 7 but below it.
- Recall that strong acid-weak base titrations can be performed with either serving as the titrant.
-
- Titrations are reactions between specifically selected reactants—in this case, a strong base and a weak acid.
- A titration curve reflects the strength of the corresponding acid and base, showing the pH change during titration.
- The titration curve demonstrating the pH change during the titration of the strong base with a weak acid shows that at the beginning, the pH changes very slowly and gradually.
- This figure depicts the pH changes during a titration of a weak acid with a strong base.
- Distinguish a weak acid-strong base titration from other types of titrations.
-
- An acid-base titration is used to determine the unknown concentration of an acid or base by neutralizing it with an acid or base of known concentration.
- A strong acid-strong base titration is performed using a phenolphthalein indicator.
- In the case of a strong acid-strong base titration, this pH transition would take place within a fraction of a drop of actual neutralization, since the strength of the base is high.
- It is often wrongly assumed that neutralization should result in a solution with pH 7.0; this is only the case in a strong acid and strong base titration.
- Calculate the concentration of an unknown strong acid given the amount of base necessary to titrate it.
-
- As with acid-base titrations, a redox titration (also called an oxidation-reduction titration) can accurately determine the concentration of an unknown analyte by measuring it against a standardized titrant.
- The balanced reaction in acidic solution is as follows:
- There are various other types of redox titrations that can be very useful.
- This is called an iodometric titration.
- A redox titration using potassium permanganate as the titrant.
-
- An indicator is a weak acid (or a weak base) that has different colors in its dissociated and undissociated states.
- In the titration of a weak acid with a strong base, which indicator would be the best choice?
- In the titration of a weak acid with a strong base, the conjugate base of the weak acid will make the pH at the equivalence point greater than 7.
- The molecule methyl orange is commonly used as an indicator in acid-base equilibrium reactions.
- Explain which, of a given series, would be the best acid-base indicator for a given titration.
-
- A buffer solution usually contains a weak acid and its conjugate base.
- Each conjugate acid-base pair has a characteristic pH range where it works as an effective buffer.
- This represents the point in the titration that is halfway to the equivalence point.
- This region is the most effective for resisting large changes in pH when either acid or base is added.
- A titration curve visually demonstrates buffer capacity.
-
- Two common examples are carbonic acid (H2CO3, which has two acidic protons and is therefore a diprotic acid) and phosphoric acid (H3PO4, which has three acidic protons and is therefore a triprotic acid).
- Diprotic and polyprotic acids show unique profiles in titration experiments, where a pH versus titrant volume curve clearly shows two equivalence points for the acid; this is because the two ionizing hydrogens do not dissociate from the acid at the same time.
- Although the subsequent loss of each hydrogen ion is less favorable, all of a polyprotic acid's conjugate bases are present to some extent in solution.
- The fractional concentration is defined as the concentration of a particular conjugate base of interest, divided by the sum of all species' concentrations.
- The titration curve of a polyprotic acid has multiple equivalence points, one for each proton.
-
- Hydrolysis of proteins by boiling aqueous acid or base yields an assortment of small molecules identified as α-aminocarboxylic acids.
- At a pH greater than 10, the amine exists as a neutral base and the carboxyl as its conjugate base, so the alanine molecule has a net negative charge.
- Titration curves show the neutralization of these acids by added base, and the change in pH during the titration.
- Both base functions exist as "onium" conjugate acids in the pH 6.00 matrix.
- As expected, such compounds display three inflection points in their titration curves, illustrated by the titrations of arginine and aspartic acid shown below.
-
- Common examples of monoprotic acids in mineral acids include hydrochloric acid (HCl) and nitric acid (HNO3).
- If a dilute solution of oxalic acid were titrated with a sodium hydroxide solution, the protons would react in a stepwise neutralization reaction.
- If the pH of this titration were recorded and plotted against the volume of NaOH added, a very clear picture of the stepwise neutralization emerges, with very distinct equivalence points on the titration curves.
- The titration of dilute oxalic acid with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) shows two distinct neutralization points due to the two protons.
- Recall the general shape of a pH vs equivalents graph generated by titrating a polyprotic acid.
