Titration phosphoric acid

Sketch a titration curve (pH vs volume of titrant) for phosphoric acid titrated with sodium hydroxide. Comment upon the curve shape and the reasons for it. 

Repeat problem 3, but compare the titration curves of 0.10 M sulfuric acid and 0.10 M phosphoric acid titrated with 0.10 M sodium hydroxide.

E. Blanc calculated for the ionization of constants of phosphorous acid Ki=0 05, and isT2—2 4 XlO-5. I. M. Kolthoff found that the first ionization constant Ky increases from 0 016 in 0 001 Jkf-soln. to 0 062 in O lJf-soln. and the second ionization constant K2, calculated from the H -ion cone, of mixtures of a secondary phosphite with hydrochloric acid is O O07 at 18°. The first stage of phosphorous acid titration may be conducted with methyl-orange as indicator using a comparison soln. with ps—Z 85. A sharp end-point for the second stage is obtained with thymolphthalein as indicator. For the anodic oxidation of the phosphites, vide infra, perphosphates. P. Pascal studied the magnetic properties. 

To treat the phosphoric acid titrations step by step [16], one must identify all the reactions, including three acid-base dissociations, water dissociation, and two equations for the conservation of mass and charge for the six unknowns [H3PO4], [H2P04-], [HP04 2], [P04 3], [H+], [OH-] at any given pH, typically one of these six equations will be dominant. 

The titration curve of phosphoric acid in the presence of sodium hydroxide is shown in Figure 1. Three steps, corresponding to consecutive replacement of the three acidic hydrogens, and two inflection points, near pH = 4.5 and 9.0, are evident. Dissociation constants are = 7.1 x 10 = 6.3 x 10 ... 

FIGURE 2.14 The titration curve for phosphoric acid. The chemical formulas show the prevailing ionic species present at various pH values. Phosphoric acid (H3PO4) has three titratable hydrogens and therefore three midpoints are seen at pH 2.15 (p. i), pH 7.20 (p. 2). and pH 19.4 (p. 3). 

The relation between free phosphoric acid content and total phosphate content in a processing bath, whether based on iron, manganese or zinc, is very important this relation is generally referred to as the acid ratio. An excess of free acid will retard the dissociation of the primary and secondary phosphates and hinder the deposition of the tertiary phosphate coating sometimes excessive loss of metal takes place and the coating is loose and powdery. When the free acid content is too low, dissociation of phosphates (equations 15.2, 15.3 and 15.4) takes place in the solution as well as at the metal/solution interface and leads to precipitation of insoluble phosphates as sludge. The free acid content is usually determined by titrating with sodium... 

Phosphoric acid esters are strong acids similar to orthophosphoric acid. Potentiometric titration of a 0.1 N aqueous solution of an acid phosphoric acid ester clearly shows two potential jumps which lie at pH values of 6.5 and 11.5. The pH value of diluted aqueous solutions of acid esters lies in the range of 1-3. Phosphoric acid esters are stable against hydrolysis, but adducts of free phosphoric acid esters with ethylene oxide are generally less stable. 

When a mixture of phosphoric acid and phosphoric acid esters is titrated with a sodium hydroxide solution two potential jumps can be observed. The first jump results from the acid group of the diester, the first neutralization step of the monoester, and the first neutralization step of free phosphoric acid. The second potential jump is caused by the second neutralization steps of the monoester and of the free phosphoric acid. The third step of neutralization of the free phosphoric acid cannot be covered by this method. Titration of acid esters can only be used for the determination of mono- and diesters of phosphoric acid when the amount of free phosphoric acid is separately ascertained. 

Initial hydrolysis would therefore lead to further hydrolysis and pH drop in storage tanks, resulting in a product that is difficult to recover and may cause irreparable damage (corrosion) in tanks, pipelines, and pumps. Therefore the pH must be kept high (9-11) to avoid acid material entering bulk storage (steep titration curve). If for product formulation requirements a product of pH 6-7 is essential, the use of buffers, e.g., phosphoric acid or citric acid, is recommended.

The major species present in solution at the first two stoichiometric points (B and D) and at points when half the titrant required to reach a stoichiometric point has been added (A, C, and Ej are shown. Compare this diagram with Fig. 10.21. The labels SP1, SP2, and SP3 denote the volumes of base required to reach the three stoichiometric points. Points A through F are explained in the text.

This can be seen from the titration curve for phosphoric acid [6] shown in Figure 10.2. In practice the mono- and di-sodium salt system is used most extensively, since this covers the pH range over which precise control is most often needed. These phosphate buffers are more resistant than the acetate systems to temperature-induced changes. 

Although phosphorous acid has the formula H3P03, the titration with sodium hydroxide gives Na2HP03. 

In a standard method [15, 19] soil organic matter is almost completely oxidized by boiling gently with a solution of potassium dichromate, sulphuric acid and phosphoric acid. Excess dichromate is determined by titration with standard ferrous sulphate solution. 

Titration of Polyprotic Acids Sulfuric Acid and Phosphoric Acid... 

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... 

Look at Figures 5.5 and 5.7 and tell what indicator you would recommend for the titration of phosphoric acid at the second inflection point. Explain.

As long as the soda pop is carbonated, the carbonic acid is present along with the phosphoric acid, although at a much smaller concentration. Citric acid may also be present, but at a smaller concentration. The carbonic acid may be eliminated by degassing to remove the carbon dioxide. Your instructor may ask you to obtain titration curves (step 4 below) for both as received samples and...
