Hydrochloric acid titration curve

Ash is a measure of residual sodium acetate. A simple method consists of dissolving the PVA in water, diluting to a known concentration of about 0.5 wt %, and measuring the electrical conductivity of the solution at 30°C. The amount of sodium acetate is estabUshed by comparing the result to a cahbration curve. A more lengthy method involves the extraction of the PVA with methanol using a Soxhlet extractor. The methanol is evaporated and water is added. The solution is titrated using hydrochloric acid in order to determine the amount of sodium acetate. 

The alkalinity is determined by titration of the sample with a standard acid (sulfuric or hydrochloric) to a definite pH. If the initial sample pH is >8.3, the titration curve has two inflection points reflecting the conversion of carbonate ion to bicarbonate ion and finally to carbonic acid (H2CO2). A sample with an initial pH <8.3 only exhibits one inflection point corresponding to conversion of bicarbonate to carbonic acid. Since most natural-water alkalinity is governed by the carbonate—bicarbonate ion equiUbria, the alkalinity titration is often used to estimate their concentrations.

The pH at the equivalence point is thus approximately 3.7 the secondary ionisation and the loss of carbonic acid, due to any escape of carbon dioxide, have been neglected. Suitable indicators are therefore methyl yellow, methyl orange, Congo red, and bromophenol blue. The experimental titration curve, determined with the hydrogen electrode, for 100 mL of 0.1 M sodium carbonate and 0.1M hydrochloric acid is shown in Fig. 10.7. 

Mixture of a strong add and a weak add with a strong base. Upon adding a strong base to a mixture of a strong acid and a weak acid (e.g. hydrochloric and acetic acids), the conductance falls until the strong acid is neutralised, then rises as the weak acid is converted into its salt, and finally rises more steeply as excess alkali is introduced. Such a titration curve is shown as S in Fig. 13.2(d). 

The method may be used to titrate a mixture of acids which differ greatly in their strengths, e.g. acetic (ethanoic) and hydrochloric acids the first break in the titration curve occurs when the stronger of the two acids is neutralised, and the second when neutralisation is complete. For this method to be successful, the two acids or bases should differ in strength by at least 10s to 1. 

The chromium in the substance is converted into chromate or dichromate by any of the usual methods. A platinum indicator electrode and a saturated calomel electrode are used. Place a known volume of the dichromate solution in the titration beaker, add 10 mL of 10 per cent sulphuric acid or hydrochloric acid per 100 mL of the final volume of the solution and also 2.5 mL of 10 per cent phosphorus) V) acid. Insert the electrodes, stir, and after adding 1 mL of a standard ammonium iron)II) sulphate solution, the e.m.f. is measured. Continue to add the iron solution, reading the e.m.f. after each addition, then plot the titration curve and determine the end point.

Kies141 made an extensive study of oxidimetric titrations of iodide with iodate according to Andrews in the presence of hydrochloric acid. The shape (in 1N HC1) of the two hyperbolic sections followed by a flat part of the curve is explained by the occurrence of two (nearly) reversible systems, I2C1 /I and IC12 /I2C1 , according to the titration reactions... 

The curve shown is for the titration of sodium acetate with hydrochloric acid. Before the equivalence point, there is a slight increase in conductance as Cl- replaces CKCOO which is converted to undissociated acetic acid. After the equivalence point, the conductance increases linearly with the addition of H+ and Cl-. 

Titrations curves for polyprotic acids have an inflection point for each hydrogen in the formula if the dissociation constant (Ka) for each hydrogen is very different from the others and if any dissociation constant is not too small. The titration curves of the polyprotic acids H2S04 and H3P04 are shown in Figures 5.6 and 5.7. Sulfuric acid has essentially one inflection point (like hydrochloric acid—compare with Figure 5.1(a)), while phosphoric acid has two apparent inflection points. Both hydrogens on the...

What parts of the titrations curves are the same and what parts are different Why Compare the inflections points for the two curves and tell what impact the differences have on indicator selection. 

Repeat problem 3, but compare the titration curves of 0.10 M sodium hydroxide with 0.10 M ammonium hydroxide titrated with 0.10 M hydrochloric acid. 

Abstract Titration of weak bases in non-aqueous solvents can provide valuable information about these weak bases. Some primary amines 1-aminobutane, 1-aminopropane, 2-aminoheptane, aminocyclohexane, 3-amino-l-phenylbutane were titrated with hydrochloric acid in toluene solvent. All the primary amines gave very well-shaped potentiometric titration curves. The same titrations were done with hydrochloric acid in methanol solvent to show the effect of amphiprotic solvent in the titrations with hydrochloric acid. 

In the example of the titration of quinine with hydrochloric acid (Fig. 3.4), MO is a suitable indicator because it falls within the inflection of the titration curve whereas PP is not suitable. 

Titrations are often carried out in which one solution—either the analyte or the titrant—contains a weak acid or base and the other a strong base or acid. For example, we might be interested in the concentration of formic acid, a weak acid found in ant venom, and titrate it with sodium hydroxide. Alternatively, we might need to know the concentration of ammonia, a weak base, in a soil sample, and titrate it with hydrochloric acid. Figures 11.6 and 11.7 show the different pH curves that are found... 

The acid-base behavior of amino acids may also be illustrated via titration curves. If one started with aspartic acid hydrochloride, that is, aspartic acid crystallized from solution in hydrochloric acid, one would require 3 mol base to remove completely the protons from 1 mol aspartic acid. The titration curve obtained with structures at each step of the reaction series is shown in Figure 4.1. Note that the isoelectric point is attained after one proton equivalent has been removed from the molecule. At this point, aspartic acid contains one positive and one negative charge it is zwitterionic. 

There will be three inflections in the titration curve as illustrated in Fig. 7.5.1 the first inflection, near +200 to +100mV, is assignable to excess hydrochloric acid and strong acids (for example, sulfonic) present in the sample the second inflection, near —350 mV, corresponds to carboxylic acids and the third, near -480 to -520mV, to phenolic hydroxyl groups. These inflections can be resolved in the 500-200 mV (full-scale deflection) ranges. 

The correction factor, c, for hydrochloric acid interference is calculated with reference to the titration curve obtained in the blank run described above. The titer corresponding to the second inflection point, near —320 mV, is subtracted from that corresponding to the first inflection point (near +130 mV) to obtain the titer for the carboxyl group in p-hydroxybenzoic acid. Subtraction of the theoretical titer for p-hydroxybenzoic acid, a, from this value affords the HC1 interference correction factor, c ... 

Indirect Titration (Method B). A weighed sample of salt was added to a flask containing methanol and a known excess of aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. The mixture was stirred and warmed on a hot plate for 1 h. After cooling, the amount of excess hydroxide present was determined by titration with standard aqueous hydrochloric acid. The titration was monitored using a pH electrode and meter, and the end point was determined from the resulting titration curve.

Some of these effects are illustrated in the experimental curves of Figures 15-1 and 15-2. In the titration of Fe(II), before the end point the shapes are independent of the nature of the oxidant. The value of El is highest with perchloric acid, because hydrolysis of Fe(III) is largely suppressed and the perchlorate ion has little tendency to form complexes. With sulfuric acid and with Ce(IV) as titrant, the two effects of hydrolysis and complex formation tend to counteract each other. In the presence of phosphoric acid, complex formation predominates, and El is distinctly lower. The shape of the curve beyond the end point is determined primarily by the properties of the oxidant. For Ce(TV) in various media the value of El is different, and the potential varies correspondingly. The reasons for these effects are qualitatively the same as for the Fe(III)-Fe(II) couple. Note that three of the experimental curves with Ce(IV) in Figure 15-1 closely resemble the expected shapes the distortion of the curve for hydrochloric acid after the end point is due to the gradual oxidation of chloride by the excess Ce(IV). For further details see the discussion of Ce(TV) as a reagent (Chapter 18). 

The approximation employed in Example 15-1 can be shown to apply until most of the hydrochloric acid has been neutralized by the titrant. Therefore, the curve in this region is identical to the titration curve for a 0.1200 M solution of a strong acid by itself. 

When the amount of base added is equivalent to the amount of hydrochloric acid originally present, the solution is identical in all respects to one prepared hy dissolving appropriate quantities of the weak acid and sodium chloride in a suitable volume of water. The sodium chloride, however, has no effect on the pH (neglecting the influence of increased ionic strength) thus, the remainder of the titration curve is identical to that for a dilute solution of HA.
