Tartrates titration

Direct Titrations. The most convenient and simplest manner is the measured addition of a standard chelon solution to the sample solution (brought to the proper conditions of pH, buffer, etc.) until the metal ion is stoichiometrically chelated. Auxiliary complexing agents such as citrate, tartrate, or triethanolamine are added, if necessary, to prevent the precipitation of metal hydroxides or basic salts at the optimum pH for titration. Eor example, tartrate is added in the direct titration of lead. If a pH range of 9 to 10 is suitable, a buffer of ammonia and ammonium chloride is often added in relatively concentrated form, both to adjust the pH and to supply ammonia as an auxiliary complexing agent for those metal ions which form ammine complexes. A few metals, notably iron(III), bismuth, and thorium, are titrated in acid solution. 

A. Direct titration. The solution containing the metal ion to be determined is buffered to the desired pH (e.g. to PH = 10 with NH4-aq. NH3) and titrated directly with the standard EDTA solution. It may be necessary to prevent precipitation of the hydroxide of the metal (or a basic salt) by the addition of some auxiliary complexing agent, such as tartrate or citrate or triethanolamine. At the equivalence point the magnitude of the concentration of the metal ion being determined decreases abruptly. This is generally determined by the change in colour of a metal indicator or by amperometric, spectrophotometric, or potentiometric methods. 

This colour change can be observed with the ions of Mg, Mn, Zn, Cd, Hg, Pb, Cu, Al, Fe, Ti, Co, Ni, and the Pt metals. To maintain the pH constant (ca 10) a buffer mixture is added, and most of the above metals must be kept in solution with the aid of a weak complexing reagent such as ammonia or tartrate. The cations of Cu, Co, Ni, Al, Fe(III), Ti(IV), and certain of the Pt metals form such stable indicator complexes that the dyestuff can no longer be liberated by adding EDTA direct titration of these ions using solochrome black as indicator is therefore impracticable, and the metallic ions are said to block the indicator. However, with Cu, Co, Ni, and Al a back-titration can be carried out, for the rate of reaction of their EDTA complexes with the indicator is extremely slow and it is possible to titrate the excess of EDTA with standard zinc or magnesium ion solution. 

The introduction of reversible redox indicators for the determination of arsenic(III) and antimony(III) has considerably simplified the procedure those at present available include 1-naphthoflavone, and p-ethoxychrysoidine. The addition of a little tartaric acid or potassium sodium tartrate is recommended when antimony(III) is titrated with bromate in the presence of the reversible... 

Discussion. Iodine (or tri-iodide ion Ij" = I2 +1-) is readily generated with 100 per cent efficiency by the oxidation of iodide ion at a platinum anode, and can be used for the coulometric titration of antimony (III). The optimum pH is between 7.5 and 8.5, and a complexing agent (e.g. tartrate ion) must be present to prevent hydrolysis and precipitation of the antimony. In solutions more alkaline than pH of about 8.5, disproportionation of iodine to iodide and iodate(I) (hypoiodite) occurs. The reversible character of the iodine-iodide complex renders equivalence point detection easy by both potentiometric and amperometric techniques for macro titrations, the usual visual detection of the end point with starch is possible.

When the base is in the form of a salt of a weak acid, removal of an anionic counter ion prior to titration is not necessary, e.g. for salts of bases with weak acids such as tartrate, acetate or succinate. However, when a base is in the form of a chloride or bromide salt, the counter ion has to be removed prior to titration. This is achieved by addition of mercuric acetate the liberated acetate is then titrated with acetous perchloric acid. This is illustrated in Figure 3.9 for the example of phenylephrine.HCl. 

Chlorpromazine formed an insoluble 1 1 complex with lead picrate, and 5 3 complexes with the picrates of cadmium, copper, and zinc [70]. The sample (0.1 g) was dissolved in 15 mL of 95% ethanol, and the solution adjusted to pH 9 with 0.1 N NaOH. After adding 25 mL of a 0.02 M picrate reagent (30 mL of Pb), the solution was set aside for 2 hours. The precipitate was collected on a sintered glass fuimel, and the unconsumed metal in the filtrate was titrated directly with 0.02M EDTA at pH 10.4 (after adding 0.5 g of potassium sodium tartrate for Pb). Eriochrome black T was used as the indicator. 

Auxiliary complexing agents such as NH3, tartrate, citrate, or triethanolamine may be employed to prevent metal ion from precipitating in the absence of EDTA. For example, Pb2+ is titrated in NH, buffer at pH 10 in the presence of tartrate, which complexes Pb2+ and does not allow Pb(OH)2 to precipitate. The lead-tartrate complex must be less stable than the lead-EDTA complex, or the titration would not be feasible.

Tartaric Acid. Quantitative measures of total tartrate are useful in determining the amount of acid reduction required for high acid musts and in predicting the tartrate stability of finished wines. Three procedures may be used. Precipitation as calcium racemate is accurate (85), but the cost and unavailability of L-tartaric acid are prohibitive. Precipitation of tartaric acid as potassium bitartrate is the oldest procedure but is somewhat empirical because of the appreciable solubility of potassium bi-tartrate. Nevertheless, it is still an official AO AC method (3). The colorimetric metavanadate procedure is widely used (4, 6, 86, 87). Tanner and Sandoz (88) reported good correlation between their bitartrate procedure and Rebeleins rapid colorimetric method (87). Potentiometric titration in Me2CO after ion exchange was specific for tartaric acid (89). 

For the determination, about 0-3 gram of the finely-powdered substance is treated in a beaker with 25 c.c. of water, concentrated hydrochloric add being then added drop by drop until the pigment is dissolved as a rule not more than 10 drops are required. If free arsenious anhydride is present in appreciable amount, it remains undissolved under these conditions and may be filtered off and washed. The filtrate is treated with sodium carbonate to indpient precipitation and then with a solution of 2-3 grams of sodium potassium tartrate it is next diluted to about 200 c.c., mixed with about 5 grams of solid sodium bicarbonate and titrated with iodine solution in presence of starch paste in this way the combined arsenious anhydride is determined. 

Add 0.1 M tartaric acid in the following portions 4x5 ml, 10 x 1 ml, 4x5 ml. Allow the potential of the GC/PANI electrode to stabilize between each addition. Recording of the titration curve in this manner takes ca. 2 h. An example of the titration curve is shown in Fig. 5.2. The occurrence of a potential maximum at 5-10 ml and the minimum at 15 ml tartaric acid indicates where precipitation of trimeprazine tartrate starts. The increasing potential around 25 ml tartaric acid indicates the equivalence point. Titration of 1.4 M trimeprazine base with 0.7M tartaric acid results in a larger potential change at the equivalence point, as can be seen in Fig. 5.3. 

The titration of trimeprazine base with tartaric acid in isopropanol solution results in protonation of trimeprazine and precipitation of trimeprazine tartrate, according to the following schematic reaction (proton transfer not shown) ... 

Since the acid-base (precipitation) reaction takes place in non-aque-ous solution (isopropanol), a glass pH electrode could not be used to follow the titration. However, PANI is known to be pH sensitive as a result of the acid-base equilibrium between the emeraldine base (EB) and emeraldine salt (ES) forms of PANI [1-3]. Interestingly, the GC/ PANI electrode was found to give a reproducible response during the titrations despite the presence of the precipitate (trimeprazine tartrate) in the stirred solution. The same GC/PANI electrodes were used repeatedly for more than 2 months without any significant changes in the... 

The protonation constants and the binding constants with different chiral carboxylates have been determined by means of pH-metric titrations. The triprotonated form of (S,S,S,S)-6 showed moderate enantioselectivity with malate and tartrate anions (AAG=0.62 and 0.66 kcal/mol, respectively), the strongest binding being observed in both cases with the L-enantiomer. Good enantiomeric discrimination was obtained with tetraprotonated (R,R)-5 and... 

The binding capacity for the unoccupied site, which is calculated using equation 7.6-11, is plotted versus pH in Fig. 7.8. The number of hydrogen ions bound by the catalytic site in the fumarase-L -tartrate complex is plotted in Fig. 7.9. This is steeper than the titration curve of a diprotic acid with identical and independent groups. The binding capacity for the site occupied by meso-tartrate is shown in Fig. 7.10. The slope of the binding curve is steeper than for the unoccupied site shown in Fig. 7.6, as expected since the binding is cooperative. 

Assay Transfer about 2 g of sample, accurately weighed, into a 250-mL volumetric flask, dissolve in 15 mL of hydrochloric acid, dilute to volume with water, and mix. Transfer 50.0 mL of this solution into a 500-mL flask, add 5 g of sodium potassium tartrate, and mix. Make the solution alkaline to litmus with a cold saturated solution of sodium bicarbonate, and titrate at once with 0.1 A iodine, using starch TS as the indicator. Each milliliter of 0.1 A iodine is equivalent to 9.48 mg of SnCl2 or 11.28 mg of SnCl2-2H20. 

The gel in this case is formed containing sodium tartrate and sodium hydrogen tartrate. About SO mL of 0.5 M tartaric acid is titrated with 0.S M sodium metasilicate to a pH of 4. After titration the solution is placed into 50-mL test tubes and allowed to set. About 30 mL of solution is added to each tube. The tubes should set for 1 or 2 days. Fifteen milliliters of a 0.S M CaCl2 solution is then added above the gel in each tube and the tubes are lightly stoppered. They are then placed in a controlled-temperature bath at 40°C in the dark. Close temperature control is not needed. The reaction time is about 2 weeks. 

Determination of azo dyes is done most satisfactorily in the presence of sodium tartrate which prevents the precipitation of the difficultly soluble dye acids (e.g., benzopurpurin, see Knecht, pages 31-32). Yellow dyes cannot be easily titrated because titanium tartrate is strongly yellow in color. 

A similar use of complexing is made in the titration of As(III) with iodine in the presence of Cu(II). Neutral tartrate is used to prevent the interaction of Cu(II) with iodide. After the iodine titration the copper may be determined by acidification to the proper pH and titration of the resulting iodine. ...
