Acid–Base TitrationAcid–Base Titration• The concentration of a weak acid or a weak base in water is difficult – if not impossible – to measure directly.
• But we can calculate the concentration from the results of titration.

Acid–Base TitrationAcid–Base Titration• A titration is a carefully controlled neutralization rxn.
• To run a titration on a soln of unknown conc of an acid or a base, you need a 2nd soln called a standard soln.
• A standard soln contains acid or base in a known conc

• A standard soln contains acid or base in a known conc
Acid–Base TitrationAcid–Base Titration• If the unknown soln is an acid, the standard soln is a base–And vice a versa
• Another substance involved in a titration is an indicator.–which is a substance that changes color at a certain pH
• If the unknown soln is an acid, the standard soln is a base–And vice a versa
• Another substance involved in a titration is an indicator.–which is a substance that changes color at a certain pH
Acid–Base TitrationAcid–Base Titration• Most of the time we use the common indicator Phenolphthalein.–Phenolphthalein is clear in acid
–Light pink in neutral–Dark pink in base
• Most of the time we use the common indicator Phenolphthalein.–Phenolphthalein is clear in acid
–Light pink in neutral–Dark pink in base
Procedure for Titration
Procedure for Titration
• the standard is slowly added to the unknown soln
• the 2 solns mix, the acid in one neutralizes the base in the other
• Eventually, enough standard soln is added to neutralize all of the acid or base in the unknown soln.

Procedure for Titration
Procedure for Titration
• The point at which this occurs is called the equivalence point.–[H30+] = [OH-]
• The point at which the indicator changes color is called the end point of the titration.
• The point at which this occurs is called the equivalence point.–[H30+] = [OH-]
• The point at which the indicator changes color is called the end point of the titration.
Procedure for Titration
Procedure for Titration
• If the indicator is chosen correctly the end point is very close to the equivalence point.
• Therefore, at approximately the end pt of a titration the total mols of H+ donated by the acid is equal to the total mols of H+ accepted by the base.

Analyze:Analyze:• At the equivalence pt, the added acid has completely neutralized the unknown base.
• It took 32 ml of acid to neutralize 43 ml of base
• We know that mols of base = mols of acid, at the equiv pt
• At the equivalence pt, the added acid has completely neutralized the unknown base.
• It took 32 ml of acid to neutralize 43 ml of base
• We know that mols of base = mols of acid, at the equiv pt
Solve:Solve:• moles of acid used:
–(.100mols/L)(.032L)= .0032mol of
acid• mols of acid = mols of base–.0032 mol base used in rxn.
• Molarity of NaOH–.0032mol/.043L = .074M
• moles of acid used:–(.100mols/L)(.032L)=
.0032mol of acid
• mols of acid = mols of base–.0032 mol base used in rxn.
• Molarity of NaOH–.0032mol/.043L = .074M
