1.What is volumetric or titrimetric analysis?

The analysis consisting of
determinig volume of a solution of accurately
known concentration which is required to
react quantitatively with the solution of the
substances being determined is called
volumetric or titrimetric analysis.

2.What is standard solution ?

The solution of accurately known
strength is called the standard solution and it
contains known weight of the solute in a
definite volume of the solution.

3.What is meant by titration?

The process of adding a standard
solution to a solute in solution untill the
reaction is just complete is termed as
titration.

4.Distinguish b/w titrant & titrate?

The reagent of known
concentration is called the titrant & the
substance being titrated is termed as titrate.

5.Differentiate b/w equivalance & end point in

titrations?
The point ay which the reaction b/w
titrant & titrate is just complete is called
equivalance point or theoretical point.
The point at which a clear visual
change is observed after the reaction b/w
titrant & titrate is practically complete is
called end point.
Thus there exists a very small difference b/w
the end point & equivalence point.

6.How is the end point detected?

The completion of the titration
(end point ) is detected by either a color
change or the formation of turbidity in the
liquid being titrated.

7. What is an indicator?
A substance that facilitates the
color change at the end point in titrations is

1/28/2015 chemistrypracticalviva1 - www
color change at the end point in titrations is
called an indicator.
E.g. methyl orange,
phenolpthalein, starch.

8. what is molar solution?

A solution which contains one gram
molecular weight of the solute per dm3 of the
solution is reffered as a molar
solution.
E.g. A solution containing 392 gram of FAS in
1 dm3 solution is called 1 molar solution.

9.What is a normal solution?

A solution which contains one
gram molecular weight of the solute per dm3
solution is called normal solution.
E.g. A solution containing 49
gram of K2Cr2o7 in 1 dm3 solution is called 1
normal solution.

10.what is molal solution?

A solution which contains one
gram molecular weight of the solution in one
kilogram of the solution is called a molal
solution.
E.g. 58.45 gram of Nacl present in
1 kg of water is called 1 molal solution.

11.What is normality of solution?

The normality of solution is the
number of gram equivalents of the solute per
dm3 of the solution.
Normality (N) of the solution =
weight of solute/equivalent weight of solute
per dm3.

12.what is molarity of a solution?

The molarity of a solution is the
number of gram equivalents of the solute per
dm3 of the solution.
molarity (M) of a solution =
weight of solute/ molecular weight of solute
per dm3 .

13 .what is meant by standardisation of a

solution?
Determination of the accurate
strength of a solution using another standard
solution by means of a titration is called

solution by means of a titration is called
standardisation of a solution.

14. what is meant by equivalent weight of an

oxidising?
Equivalent weight of an
oxidising agent is defined as the number of
parts by mass of the oxidising agent that
gives 8 parts
by mass of oxygen for oxidation.

OR Equivalent weight of an
oxidising agent =molecular weight/number of
electrons gained.
E.g. pottasium dichromate is an
oxidising agent & in acid solution its reaction
is represented as

Cr2o72- +14H- +6e- ---------->

2Cr3- + 7H20
Equivalent weight of K2Cr2O7=
molecular weight / no. of electrons gained.
=
294 / 6 = 49.

15. what is meant by equivalent weight of a

reducing agent?
Equivalent weight of a
reducing agent is defined as the number of
parts by mass of the reducsing agent that
oxidised by 8 parts by mass of
oxygen. OR Equivalent weight of a reducing
agent =molecular weight / number of
electrons lost.
E.g. sodium oxalate acts as a reducing
agent & is represented by

C2O42- ------> 2CO2 + 2e

Equivalent weight of
Na2C2O4 = molecular weight / number of
electrons lost. = 134/2 = 67.

16. what is meant by equivalent weight of an

acid?
Equivalent weight of an
acid is defined as the number of parts by
mass of an acid that is neutralised completely
by one equivalent weight of
base.

OR Equivalent weight of
an acid = molecular weight / basicity

1/28/2015 chemistrypracticalviva1 - www

E.g. Equivalent weight of

H2SO4 = 98/2=49.

17.what is meant by equivalent weight of a

base?
Equivalent weight of a base is
defined as the number of parts by mass of a
base that is required to neutralise
completely one equivalent weight of an
acid.
OR Equivalent weight of a base =
molecular weight / acidity
E.g. Equivalent weight of
NaOH =40/1=40

18. 0.6 g of K2Cr2O7 crystals are present in

250 cm3 of the solution. calucate the
normality of the solution.
Equivalent weight of
K2Cr2O7=49

normality of solution = -
weght of K2Cr2O7 * 1000 cm3 / (Equivalent
weight of K2Cr2O7* volume of solution in

cm3)

=(0.6 *
1000) = ( 49 *250 ) = 0.0489

19. what is molarity of solution containing 10g

EDTA in 300 cm3 of it ?
Molarity of solution =
(weight of solute * 1000 cm3 )/ ( molecular
weight * 300 cm3 )

= (10 *
1000cm3)/(372.4 * 300 cm3) = 0.0895

20. How is 250 cm3 of 0.25N HCL prepared?

given the normality of conc. HCl= 11.8
N1V1= N2V2
0.25* 250 = 11.8 *V2
V2 = 5.3 cm3
5.3 cm3 of the given
conc. HCl on dilution upto 250 cm3 with water
gives 0.25N HCl solution.s
