Procedure
where Ca is the concentration of the
analyte, typically in molarity; Ct is the
concentration of the titrant, typically in
molarity; Vt is the volume of the titrant
used, typically in liters; M is the mole ratio
of the analyte and reactant from the
balanced chemical equation; and Va is the
volume of the analyte used, typically in
liters.[16]
Preparation techniques
Types of titrations
There are many types of titrations with
different procedures and goals. The most
common types of qualitative titration are
acid–base titrations and redox titrations.
Acid–base titration
Methyl orange
In the equations, and are the
moles of acid (HA) and salt (XA where X is
the cation), respectively, used in the buffer,
and the volume of solution is V. The law of
mass action is applied to the ionization of
water and the dissociation of acid to
derived the first and second equations.
The mass balance is used in the third
equation, where the sum of and
must equal to the number of
moles of dissolved acid and base,
respectively. Charge balance is used in the
fourth equation, where the left hand side
represents the total charge of the cations
and the right hand side represents the
total charge of the anions: is the
Redox titration
Complexometric titration
Assay
An assay is a type of biological titration
used to determine the concentration of a
virus or bacterium. Serial dilutions are
performed on a sample in a fixed ratio
(such as 1:1, 1:2, 1:4, 1:8, etc.) until the last
dilution does not give a positive test for
the presence of the virus. The positive or
negative value may be determined by
inspecting the infected cells visually under
a microscope or by an immunoenzymetric
method such as enzyme-linked
immunosorbent assay (ELISA). This value
is known as the titer.[38]
Measuring the endpoint of a
titration
Different methods to determine the
endpoint include:[39]
Back titration
Graphical methods
The titration process creates solutions
with compositions ranging from pure acid
to pure base. Identifying the pH associated
with any stage in the titration process is
relatively simple for monoprotic acids and
bases. The presence of more than one
acid or base group complicates these
computations. Graphical methods,[43] such
as the equiligraph,[44] have long been used
to account for the interaction of coupled
equilibria. These graphical solution
methods are simple to implement,
however they are used infrequently.
Particular uses
Redox titrations
Winkler test for dissolved oxygen: Used
to determine oxygen concentration in
water. Oxygen in water samples is
reduced using manganese(II) sulfate,
which reacts with potassium iodide to
produce iodine. The iodine is released in
proportion to the oxygen in the sample,
thus the oxygen concentration is
determined with a redox titration of
iodine with thiosulfate using a starch
indicator.[47]
Vitamin C: Also known as ascorbic acid,
vitamin C is a powerful reducing agent.
Its concentration can easily be identified
when titrated with the blue dye
Dichlorophenolindophenol (DCPIP)
which becomes colorless when reduced
by the vitamin.[48]
Benedict's reagent: Excess glucose in
urine may indicate diabetes in a patient.
Benedict's method is the conventional
method to quantify glucose in urine
using a prepared reagent. During this
type of titration, glucose reduces cupric
ions to cuprous ions which react with
potassium thiocyanate to produce a
white precipitate, indicating the
endpoint.[49]
Bromine number: A measure of
unsaturation in an analyte, expressed in
milligrams of bromine absorbed by
100 grams of sample.
Iodine number: A measure of
unsaturation in an analyte, expressed in
grams of iodine absorbed by 100 grams
of sample.
