Diprotic Acid Titration Calculation Worked Example

(Sulphuric Acid and Sodium Hydroxide).mp4

Speaker1: [00:00:00] In this video, we're going to look at a worked example of a titration
calculation involving a dye protoc acid, and you have to be a bit more careful when you
have dye protec acids. So let's look at the difference between a monochromatic and a
dye protec acid, so a monochromatic acid could be something like HDL, your
hydrochloric acid. And when this ionized this, you're going to get one h plus. And of
course, CL minus is the other one. The key is that you're only getting one h plus from
each molecule in a dye protoc acid like sulfuric acid. You're going to get two h plus and
then you're going to get your S.O. for two negative. It's important to remember that the
S-4 complex iron is a charge of two minus that's going to be useful later. So you can
see the difference is that the dye protoc acid is giving you double the number of each
plus particles. And so your hydrogen iron is what determines the pH of an acid, and so
you're going to have to take that into account. And so we've got a question here. For our
work example, we've got 40 centimeters cubed of zero point zero two moles per DM,
cubed of sodium hydroxide. So that's our alkali is exactly neutralized by 30 centimeters
cubed of sulfuric acid. What is the concentration of the acid? So we know everything
you need to know about the sodium hydroxide, but we only know the volume of the
sulfuric acid.

Speaker1: [00:01:30] So our first step is we need to get a balanced equation. This is
one of the places where it's important to take note of the fact that you've got this H2.
This is partially going to take care of the dye protect nature. So we obviously don't have
a balanced equation here, so we need to do some things to balance it. So, for example,
sodium are not balance we needed to. So we've now got sodium balanced. But by doing
that, we've added hydrogen here, so unbalanced that as well. And so we need to hear
to end up with a fully correctly balanced equation. So you've now got a balanced
equation. The second step is to find the moles of sodium hydroxide. So as I say, we've
got everything we need to know about sodium hydroxide. We've got the volume and
we've got the concentration. Remember, the volume has to be in the same unit as your
concentration. So we've got cubed here. So you're going to have to do a conversion.
The formula to find the number of moles is the classic one. You've got an equal CV. Rn
is the number of moles see its concentration and via's volume. So you're simply going to
do your concentration times, your volume and dividing by four to do the conversion.
Speaker1: [00:02:43] And we end up with eight times 10 at the minus four moles of our
sodium hydroxide, and we know that's exactly neutralized by 30 centimeters cubed of
sulfuric acid. So the next step is to work out how many moles of acid we must have, and
this is the important bit to deal with the dye protect nature. We've got a one to two ratio,
so if we have this many moles of our sodium hydroxide, we're going to have to have that
in order to get the number of moles of our acid because we've got two reacting with one.
And so this is how many moles we actually have here. So we've now got our moles of
the acid. We use an equal CV, rearrange that four concentration substitute in what we
know. And obviously, this number has to be divided by a thousand to get it into DM
cubed so we can find the concentration from this and we get our final answer by simply
evaluating that. So you've now run through a worked example of how you can calculate
the concentration of an acid that is kiprotich in a titration. I hope this video was helpful to
