Titrimetric reactions in which the product is of low solubility have been used for very many years. Titrations employing such reactions are known as precipitation titrations. Although not of widespread importance, for a... 

Mercuric acetate It is essentially added to prevent the interference of the hydrochloric acid displaced through the formation of the relatively un-ionized HgCl2, thereby making a predominant shift in the equilibrium so that the titrimetric reaction is quantitative. 

End point (of a titration) — An experimental point in the progress of a titrimetric reaction located where the reaction between the -> analyte and reagent is considered as complete. Ideally, it should be coincident to the - equivalence point [i].

Like other types of titrimetric reactions, complex formation should be rapid, stoichiometric, and quantitative. Most reactions involving the formation of complexes fail to fulfill one or more of these requirements. EDTA is the most important exception. The classical complexing reactions which are analytically useful are those of mercury(II) with halides and of cyanide with silver . For discussion of the background chemistry and typical applications the reader is referred to other sources. ...

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. 

Thus far we have examined titrimetric methods based on acid-base, complexation, and redox reactions. A reaction in which the analyte and titrant form an insoluble precipitate also can form the basis for a titration. We call this type of titration a precipitation titration. 

In a titrimetric method of analysis the volume of titrant reacting stoichiometrically with the analyte provides quantitative information about the amount of analyte in a sample. The volume of titrant required to achieve this stoichiometric reaction is called the equivalence point. Experimentally we determine the titration s end point using a visual indicator that changes color near the equivalence point. Alternatively, we can locate the end point by recording a titration curve showing the titration reaction s progress as a function of the titrant s volume. In either case, the end point must closely match the equivalence point if a titration is to be accurate. Knowing the shape of a titration... 

Titrimetric methods have been developed using acid-base, complexation, redox, and precipitation reactions. Acid-base titrations use a strong acid or strong base as a titrant. The most common titrant for a complexation titration is EDTA. Because of their... 

Titanium Sulfates. Solutions of titanous sulfate [10343-61-0] ate readily made by reduction of titanium(IV) sulfate ia sulfuric acid solutioa by electrolytic or chemical means, eg, by reduction with ziac, ziac amalgam, or chromium (IT) chloride. The reaction is the basis of the most used titrimetric procedure for the determination of titanium. Titanous sulfate solutions are violet and, unless protected, can slowly oxidize ia coatact with the atmosphere. If all the titanium has been reduced to the trivalent form and the solution is then evaporated, crystals of an acid sulfate 3 Ti2(S0 2 [10343-61-0] ate produced. This purple salt, stable ia air at aormal temperatures, dissolves ia water to give a stable violet solutioa. Whea heated ia air, it decomposes to Ti02, water, sulfuric acid, and sulfur dioxide. 

There are several comprehensive reviews of analytical methods for vitamin K (19,20). Owiag to the preseace of a aaphthoquiaoae aucleus, the majority of analytical methods use this stmctural feature as a basis for analysis. Several identity tests such as its reaction with sodium bisulfite or its uv spectmm exploit this characteristic. Although not specific, titrimetric, polarographic, and potentiometric methods have also been used (20). 

Titrimetric analysis is a classical method for generating concentration-time data, especially in second-order reactions. We illustrate with data on the acetylation of isopropanol (reactant B) by acetic anhydride (reactant A), catalyzed by A-methyl-imidazole. The kinetics were followed by hydrolyzing 5.0-ml samples at known times and titrating with standard base. A blank is carried out with the reagents but no alcohol. The reaction is... 

The kinetics of alkaline hydrolysis of phenyl cinnamate were studied at 25°C, in solutions containing 0.8% acetonitrile ionic strength, 0.3 M initial ester, 8.19 X 10- M reaction followed spectrophotometrically in 5-cm cells at 295 nm. For studies at three pH values, these absorbance data were obtained. The pH was established with sodium hydroxide of the normality specified in the heading of the table (as titrimetrically determined). 

The method of evaluation of the rate constants for this reaction scheme will depend upon the type of analytical information available. This depends in part upon the nature of the reaction, but it also depends upon the contemporary state of analytical chemistry. Up to the middle of the 20th century, titrimetry was a widely applied means of studying reaction kinetics. Titrimetric analysis is not highly sensitive, nor is it very selective, but it is accurate and has the considerable advantage of providing absolute concentrations. When used to study the A —> B — C system in which the same substance is either produced or consumed in each step (e.g., the hydrolysis of a diamide or a diester), titration results yield a quantity F = Cb + 2cc- Swain devised a technique, called the time-ratio method, to evaluate the rate... 

The aqueous solution chemistiy of nitrous acid and nitrites has been extensively studied. Some reduction potentials involving these species are given in Table 11.4 (p. 434) and these form a useful summaiy of their redox reactions. Nitrites are quantitatively oxidized to nitrate by permanganate and this reaction is used in titrimetric analysis. Nitrites (and HNO2) are readily reduced to NO and N2O with SO2, to H2N2O2 with Sn(II), and to NH3 with H2S. Hydrazinium salts yield azides (p. 432) which can then react with further HNO2 ... 

In titrimetric analysis (often termed volumetric analysis in certain books), the substance to be determined is allowed to react with an appropriate reagent added as a standard solution, and the volume of solution needed for complete reaction is determined. The common types of reaction which are used in titrimetry are (a) neutralisation (acid-base) reactions (b) complex-forming reactions (c) precipitation reactions (d) oxidation-reduction reactions. 

For use in titrimetric analysis a reaction must fulfil the following conditions. 

The reactions employed in titrimetric analysis fall into four main classes. The first three of these involve no change in oxidation state as they are dependent upon the combination of ions. But the fourth class, oxidation-reduction reactions, involves a change of oxidation state or, expressed another way, a transfer of electrons. 

Analytical A proc is described for the quant titrimetric analysis of TeNMe in nitric acid (Ref 35)s and a spectrophotometric method is described in Ref 41 for the detn of small amts of TeNMe in air and w Critical Diameter. The crit diam for deton propagation of TeNMe thickened with poly-(methyl acrylate) and loaded with up to 75% inert solids was detd and found to decrease with increasing solids loading. It was postulated that the solids acted as reaction foci ahead of the deton front (Ref 45)... 

This reaction has also been used for the titrimetric determination of polysulfides [10, 11].
