Derive an expression analogous to Equation 7-12 for the titration of M+(concentration, CM0,volume=VM0) with X-(titrant concentration=cx0). Your equation should allow you to compute the volume of titrant (vx)as a function of[x-].

Short Answer

Expert verified

The expression isvx=vuecM0-M*+X-Cx*+M*+X-.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of titrant.

The titrant is a known-concentration solution that is introduced to another solution (titrated) to determine the concentration of a second chemical species.

02

Step2: An expression.

Let consider the addition of vxlitre of titrant x-(whose initial concentration is cx6) to vMelitre of solution containing anion M+with a concentration CM0.

The total moles of added X=(=Cx0.Vx)must equal the moles of Minsolution=M*(VM+Vx0plus the moles of precipitated MX(s). In a similar manner, we can write a mass balance for M.

Consider the titration of 50.00(±005)mLof a mixture of l-and SCN-with 0.0683(±0.0001)MAg+.The first equivalence point is observed at 12.6(±0.4)mL,and the second occurs at 27.7(±0.3)mL.

(b) Suppose that the uncertainties are all the same, except that the uncertainty of the first equivalence point (12.6±?mL)is variable. What is the maximum uncertainty (milliliters) of the first equivalence point if the uncertainty in SCN-molarity is to be 4.0%?

Why does the surface charge of a precipitate change sign atthe equivalence point?

Distinguish between the terms equivalence point and end point.

Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) reacts with I3-according to the equation

Starch is used as an indicator in the reaction. The end point is marked by the appearance of a deep blue starch-iodine complex when the first fraction of a drop of unreacted I3-remains in the solution.
