Titrations described

Good measurement practices (GMPs) describe operations specific to a technique. In general, GMPs provide instructions for maintaining, calibrating, and using the equipment and instrumentation that form the basis for a specific technique. For example, a GMP for a titration describes how to calibrate a buret (if nec-... 

In addition to the titrations described in detail in Sections 16.25-16.27, 16.29 and 16.30, many other titrations may be performed amperometrically. An indication of the scope of this method is given by the procedures listed in Table 16.1. 

Experimentally, we know that the pH changes abruptly close to the stoichiometric point. Suppose we reach the stoichiometric point in the titration described in Example 1 1.4 and then add an additional 1.00 mL of HCl(aq). To find out by how much the pH changes, we work through the steps in Toolbox 11.1 as in Example 11.4, except that now the acid is in excess. We find that, after the addition, the pH has fallen to 2.1 (point D in Fig. 11.4). This point is well below the pH (of 7) at the stoichiometric point, although only 1 mL more acid has been added. 

C18-0067. Sketch the titration curve for the titration described in Problem 18.23, and choose an appropriate indicator for this titration. 

The initial titration aliquots were added automatically on the basis of the rate of change of EMF, mode (i), and the resulting time between aliquot additions was usually shorter than the 10 second equilibration time allowed in the mode (ii) titrations described above. The time differences were especially significant when the transmittance change per 0.05 cm3 aliquot was small, for example when the hyamine was present in excess at high salt concentrations. This means that the mode (i) titrations are more influenced by kinetic effects and so the measured curves are less distinctive as may be seen by comparing the results at 1.46% salt in Figures 6 and 7. 

Anfalt and Jagner [57] measured total fluoride ion concentration by means of a single-crystal fluoride selective electrode (Orion, model 94-09). Samples of seawater were adjusted to pH 6.6 with hydrochloric acid and were titrated with 0.01 M sodium fluoride with use of the semi-automatic titrator described by Jagner [28]. Equations for the graphical or computer treatment of the results are given. Calibration of the electrode for single-point potentiometric measurements at different seawater salinities is discussed. 

The fully reduced state of CCP is probably of no physiological significance. However, the visible region spectrum of the fully reduced enzyme is very sensitive to the presence or absence of bound Ca + ions. In the absence of Ca + ions the a-band maximum of the reduced enzyme, recorded during the course of the redox titrations described earlier, is at 551 nm with a shoulder at 557 nm. In contrast, in fully reduced Ca +-loaded enzyme the maximum is at 557 nm with a shoulder 551 nm (52). These spectra should be compared with those of the fully reduced Psew-domonas CCP in its inactive and active forms, respectively, which show similar differences (81). Further similarities exist between the X-band EPR spectra of the active CCP from P. aeruginosa in the MV state and that of the Ca +-loaded CCP from P. denitrificans and, moreover, the X-band EPR spectrum of MV P denitrificans CCP that had previously been treated with EDTA (Table I). 

A prototypical high-temperature superconductor is yttrium barium copper oxide, YBa2Cu307, in which two-thirds of the copper is in the +2 oxidation state and one-third is in the unusual +3 state. Another example is BijSrjlCaQgYoyjCujOgjys, in which the average oxidation state of copper is +2.105 and the average oxidation state of bismuth is +3.090 (which is formally a mixture of Bi3+ and Bi5+). The most reliable means to unravel these complex formulas is through wet oxidation-reduction titrations, described in this chapter. 

Experimentally, we know that the pH changes abruptly dose to the stoichiometric point. How much does the pH change if we reach the stoichiometric point in the titration described in Example 11.5 and then add an additional 1.00 mL of HCl(aq) Evaluate the pH of the solution in Example 11.5 at that point. 

A At the beginning of the titration described in Table 13-1, about 41 mL of reagent bring about a 10-fold decrease in the concentration of A only 0.001 mL is required to cause this same change at the equivalence point.

A potentiometric titration curve often has an inflection point at the PZC (Section 2.6.3). This property has been proposed as a method to determine the PZC [673]. The inflection point method gained some popularity after a publication by Zalac and Kallay [670]. Also, the differential potentiometric titration described in [674] is equivalent to the inflection point method. This method is not recommended by the present author as a standalone method to determine the PZC, but a few results obtained by the inflection point method, usually in combination with other methods, are reported in the tables in Chapter 3 (as Inflection in the Methods columns). In [675], the potentiometric titration curve of one sample had two inflections, and the inflection at the lower pH was assumed to be the PZC. The potentiometric titration curves of other samples had one inflection each. Reference [676] reports an inflection point in the titration curve of niobia at pH 8, which is far from the pHg reported in the literature. A few examples of charging curves without an inflection point or with multiple inflection points are discussed in Section 2.6.3. 

You can apply the above examples of acid-base calculations to the titrations described in Chapter 8. ... 

Calculations of this type are used for the redox titrations described in Chapter 14. 

These formulas are useful calculations involving the precipitation and complexometric titrations described in Chapters 8 and 11. 

Electrometric methods are employed to detect the end points of conventional titrations, as well as those of the coulometric titrations described in Section 11.4. These detection methods typically involve two small electrodes in an indicator circuit that is electrically separate from the generating circuit that would be present for a coulometric titration. All electrometric methods are based on measurements of either the potential difference between the two electrodes in the indicator circuit (potentiometric methods) or the current passing in that circuit (amperometric methods). Further classification is based on the... 

The amperometric titration curves for coulometric titrations have somewhat different shapes than the ones for the manual titrations described, because usually one form of the couple exists in large excess. For example, in the titration of Fe " with electrogenerated Ce, Ce " will be present from the start at a concentration that is large compared to that of the Fe. Titrations for multicomponent systems can be treated in a similar manner. In all cases the curves can be derived by consideration of the i-E curves that arise during the titration. 

The Radiometer RTS 822 titrator Is eimiiar In performance to the Metrohm titrator described above. 

Confirmation of the lithium stoichiometry is determined by an iodine reaction that yields the amount of lithium removed from the structure. A titration (described in Section A) performed after reaction of Li JleOj with a standard iodine solution affords the stoichiometry Li, ReOj. 

Figure 15.20 illustrates an apparatus suitable for the coulometric titration described. The anode and cathode compartments are separated with a fine porous glass membrane to prevent the anode products from reacting at the cathode, and vice versa. The porosity should be such as to allow minimal loss of titrant in the course of the experiment. The... 

Some features of potentiometric titration techniques in molten salts have been discussed. The automatic potentiometric titration described in details consists of the following. A rod, prepared as frozen K2Cr207 solution in the melt, was immersed into the melt containing a base with the constant rate, e.m.f data were recorded by die recording potentiometer. Such a routine may be used only for the detection of equivalence points in melts (with accuracy of 3.5 %). 

One tried-and-tested technique is the volumetric method (iodometric titration) described in Section 3.2.6.1, involving the use of a known quantity of iodine and back titration of the iodine not consumed. 

Sulfate in soil on Mars, A barium sulfate precipitation titration described at the opening of this chapter is shown in the figure. The initial concentration of Cl" before adding BaCl2 was 0.000 19 M in 25 mL of aqueous extract of Martian soil. At the end point, when there is a sudden rise in Ba, [cr] = 0.009 6 M. 

In many cases, the midpoint potential is determined for the two-electron transfer at half reduction ( rn) via the potentio-metric titration described later, and the potentials of the individual electrons are calculated from that value and the percent semiquinone. Thus, the individual can be determined in this manner by using Eqs. (7 and 8). 

Such predictions from spectral changes observed on coulometric titrations must be verified by potential/pH studies using potentiometric titrations (described below) to determine if one or both electron transfers are transferred with a proton and where pAT s may occur. 

The back titration method can be used to measure total alkalinity with simpler equipment than that required for the potentiometric titrations described above, but at the cost of a poorer precision. The method described is that of Gripenberg (1936) as modified by Koroleff (1972). The sample is acidified with hydrochloric acid to a pH of about 3.5, and the carbon dioxide is driven off by boiling. The solution is then back-titrated to pH 6 with sodium hydroxide solution using bromothymol blue as indicator. The alkalinity is estimated simply as the difference between the amounts of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide added. 

This section describes titrations of products that derive from the compounds to determine after a chemical reaction. Let us remark that in a back titration there also exists a transformation by a chemical reaction of the compound to determine. This transformation is simple since it is only a proton exchange. However, in a back titration, it is not the transformed compound that is titrated, contrary to the titrations described in this section. Here, we also study the case in which the excess of reactant that has induced the transformation is titrated. This methodology is then an extension of back titrations. 

Checked against 01 per cent standard invert sugar solution by the method of titration described above, 5 ml of Fehling s solution corresponds to 0 02533 g of invert sugar. 

The nitrite titration described above is equally applicable (1 ml O IM — 0 01751 g CyHgOgNNa) and for formulated products, such as sugar-coated tablets, it is preferable since it is less susceptible to error caused by tablet excipients and coating.
