Titrimetric

For this class of thiazoles most of the chemical and physicochemical studies are centered around the protomeric equilibrium and its consequences. The position of this equilibrium may be determined by spectroscopic and titrimetric methods, as seen in each section. A simple HMO (Hiickel Molecular Orbitals) treatment of 2-substituted compounds however, may, exemplify general trends. This treatment considers only protomeric forms 1 and 2 evidence for the presence of form 3 has never been found. The formation energy reported in Table 1 is the energy difference in f3 units. 

Another line of analytical use is exemplified by the properties of l-(2-thiazolylazoi-2-naphthol (305), whose complexes with metals may be used for their spectrophotometric and titrimetric determination, as wel] as for their separation by solvent extraction (564, 568, 953-957, 1040).

Titrimetric (Volumetric) Factors for Acid-Base Titrations... 

Titrimetric (volumetric) factors for acids and bases are given in Table 11.28. Suitable indicators for acid-base titrations may be found in Tables 8.23 and 8.24. 

The accuracy of a standardization depends on the quality of the reagents and glassware used to prepare standards. For example, in an acid-base titration, the amount of analyte is related to the absolute amount of titrant used in the analysis by the stoichiometry of the chemical reaction between the analyte and the titrant. The amount of titrant used is the product of the signal (which is the volume of titrant) and the titrant s concentration. Thus, the accuracy of a titrimetric analysis can be no better than the accuracy to which the titrant s concentration is known. 

Almost any chemical reaction can serve as a titrimetric method provided that three conditions are met. The first condition is that all reactions involving the titrant and analyte must be of known stoichiometry. If this is not the case, then the moles of titrant used in reaching the end point cannot tell us how much analyte is in our sample. Second, the titration reaction must occur rapidly. If we add titrant at a rate that is faster than the reaction s rate, then the end point will exceed the equivalence point by a significant amount. Finally, a suitable method must be available for determining the end point with an acceptable level of accuracy. These are significant limitations and, for this reason, several titration strategies are commonly used. 

Although each acid-base titrimetric method has its own unique considerations, the following description of the determination of protein in bread provides an instructive example of a typical procedure.
