Acid Base Theories ■ Prolonged heating in assay

○ Chloride ion is soluble


● Arrhenius ● HClO4 and H2SO4
○ Acid: A substance that releases ○ Stable
protons [H+] in a solution ○ Preferred in reactions with
○ Base: A substance that releases precipitation of chloride acids
Hydroxide ions [-OH] in a solution ○ Higher temperatures makes them
● Bronsted-Lowry oxidizing acid
○ Acid: A substance that releases or ● Nitric Acid (x)
donates protons in a solution ○ Very strong oxidizing acid
○ Base: A substance that accepts ○ Reactive with other compounds
protons in a solution ○ Affects the stoichiometry
● Lewis ● Sulfric Acid (x)
○ Acid: A substance that is an ○ Not commonly used as a titrant
electron pair acceptor in a solution ○ Precipitates
○ Base: A substance that is an ● Acetic Acid (x)
electron pair donor in a solution ○ Standard solution according to
USP
Strong and Weak Electrolytes ○ Not a strong acid
● NaOH and KOH
● Weak Electrolytes ○ Best solubility
○ Weak electricity conductors ○ Alkalimetric assays, ensure the
○ Insoluble compounds solubility of salts formed
○ Does not ionize completely in water
○ Weak acids and weak bases ● Standardization of Acids
● Strong Electrolytes ○ Sodium carbonate (105.99 g/mol)
○ Good electricity conductor ■ Prepared by heating
○ Soluble compounds NaHCO3 at 270-300℃ at 1
○ Ionizes completely in water hour
○ Strong acids, strong bases, and ● Drives of excess
salts water - Na2CO3
■ 8 pH > 3.8 pH > alkaline pH
Titrants and Standards ■ Direct titration - adding
equivalent amount directly
into solution
ACID ALKALI
■ Residual titration - add
HCl NaOH excess amount of acids,
boil, and back titrate excess
HClO4 KOH acid
H2SO4 ○ THAM Tromethamine/TRIS
(121.14 g/mol)
■ High molecular weight
● HCl decreases indeterminate
○ Stability error in weighing
○ Volatile ■ Stable and highly soluble
○ When diluted increases boiling ■ Preferred standard by the
point = lower volatility USP
■ Factor is 2
○ Sodium tetraborate decahydrate /
Borax (381.40 g/mol)
■ Efflorescence in warm, dry
air
● Loses its water of
crystallization
■ Contains other impurities
due to mining
■ Factor is 2
