VOLUMETRIC ANALYSIS Flashcards
(59 cards)
the determination of the
volume of a solution of
known concentration
required to react with a
given amount of a
substance to be analyzed.
Volumetric
Analysis
What is the importance of
volumetric analysis?
It is used in
determining the
purity of drugs
Food industry –
determination of
salt, vit and fatty
acid content.
Water treatment
– determination
of contaminants
and pH
a common laboratory method of quantitative chemical
analysis where a solution of known concentration is used
to determine the concentration of an unknown solution.
TITRATION
Parts of a titration set-up
- Analyte/Titrand
- Standard solution/ Volumetric Solution/ Titrant
- Indicator
a solution which
concentration is
accurately known.
Standard solution
the
chemical substance
being analyzed or the
active constituent in
the sample.
Analyte
a chemical
which changes
color at or very
near the endpoint.
Indicator
point during a titration when an indicator shows that
the amount of reactant necessary for a complete
reaction has been added to a solution
Endpoint (practical
s the theoretical point at which equivalent amounts
of each substance have reacted
Equivalence point or stoichiometric point or
theoretical endpoint
reaction between an acid and
a base to form salt of water
Neutralization
reactions that from an
insoluble precipitate
Precipitimetry
reaction between metal ions
and a ligand
Complexometry
reaction that involves the
transfer of electrons
Redox titration
Chemical substance, which changes color at or
very near the endpoint.
INDICATORS
Used to avoid errors during titration
INDICATORS
INDICATORS Referred to as
TS or Test Solutions
TS or Test Solutions Usual concentration is
0.05%, with 0.1 to 0.2 ml
of indicator used for 10 ml of the analyte
