2. Wrong dilutions being prepared
3. Instruments breaking down
4. Instruments being used in the wrong way

If a gross error occurs, the results are rejected and the analysis is repeated from the

purpose of this example it is presumed that 100% of the stated content is the correct answer.

51
BURET
• Graduated glass tubes of uniform bore throughout the
whole length

• Closed at the bottom by glass or stopcock

• Volumes read at lower meniscus except highly colored


liquid

52
52
BURET
PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
• All burets should be tested for leakage before use.

• Glass stopcocks may require a small amount of special stopcock lubricant to prevent leakage
and permit ease of operation.

• Reading Burets: The surface of liquids in narrow tubes is always curved because of capillarity,
the surface or meniscus is always concave when the liquid wets the tube and convex when it
does not. Readings should always be made at the lowest point of the meniscus (the
graduation mark that coincides with the bottom of the curve, except when measuring highly
colored liquids. The eye must be on the same level as the meniscus, otherwise error due to
parallax will be introduced.

VOLUMETRIC FLASK
• Should be calibrated to contain the indicated volume when
filled to the mark

• Used to make up standard solutions

• *graduated to contain, and not to deliver the calibrated


volume

55
55
GRADUATED CYLINDER
• Used in making approximate measures of volume

• Graduated to contain a given volume of liquid at standard


temperature

• The inside diameter of the cylinder should not exceed one-fifth of the
graduated length

56
56
PIPET
• Should be graduated to deliver at
standard temperature the volume
indicated

• Should never be drained by blowing


into them unless they are especially
graduated for use in the way

57
57
SOURCES OF ERROR IN THE USE OF VOLUMETRIC APPARATUS
Every precaution should be taken to avoid the following common sources of error in the use of
volumetric apparatus

1. Rinse water adhering to walls of apparatus


The apparatus may be dried, but it is more convenient and just as accurate to wash it out
with small successive portions of the liquid to be used, discarding the washings.
2. Grease films and dirty apparatus
Dirt and oil cause irregularity in the delivery of liquids and distort the meniscus
3. Parallax
Must be avoided to secure proper readings of the level of the meniscus
4. Variations in temperature
Lead to changes in volume of vessels and liquids, all measurements therefore should be
made at a temperature closely approximating that at which the apparatus was calibrated
5. Air bubbles trapped beneath liquid surface
Especially below the stopcock in burets, displace liquids
6. Heat
Hot solutions cause calibrated volumetric apparatus to suffer change in volumes
58
58
CLEANING SOLUTION
• Volumetric apparatus should always be cleaned before using and in use should be cleaned as
often as necessary
• The adherence of droplets to the wall of a buret or pipet is positive evidence that the
apparatus is dirty
• In a clean instrument, the liquid drains down uniformly, wetting the walls so that no droplets
are observable

CLEANING AGENTS
*use warm cleaning solutions
a. Sodium dichromate in sulfuric acid
b. Solution of trisodium phosphate
c. Solution of synthetic detergent

Note: Hot solutions should be avoided when cleaning accurately calibrated apparatus, because
of the possible production of a permanent change in volume caused by the heat and known as
thermal aftereffect.

PRACTICE PROBLEM - #1 – Direct Titration
ASSAY OF SODIUM BICARBONATE
Weigh accurately about 3 g of sodium bicarbonate, mix with 25 mL of water, add
methyl orange TS, and titrate with 1 N sulfuric acid. Each milliliter of 1 N sulfuric acid
is equivalent to 84.01 mg of NaHCO3.

• It is a general rule that when the substance to be assayed is a solid, the accurately weighed quantity to
be used should be dissolved in sufficient water to make the solution of about the same equivalent
concentration as that of the acid to be used in the titration.

• Methyl orange is used as indicator because phenolphthalein and most other indicators are affected by
the carbonic acid liberated in the reaction, which causes a change in color before the reaction is
complete.

• From the equation it is obvious that 2 mol of NaHCO3 is equivalent to 1 mol of H2SO4.
• Therefore 1 mol of NaHCO3 is 1 equiv, and the equivalent weight is equal to the gram molecular
weight, 84.01 g.
• One milliliter of 1 N sulfuric acid or 1 meq is equivalent to 84.01 mg or 1 meq of NaHCO3.

TITRATION CURVE
The manner in which the pH of a solution changes during a titration is best shown by preparing
a graph in which the pH value is plotted on the y-axis and the volume of the titrant is plotted on
the x-axis.
• Equivalence point on the titration curve is that portion where the slope of the curve is
steepest and is commonly referred to as the break in the titration curve.
• When an indicator is used to detect the equivalence point, it must give a sharp discernible
color change at that point in the titration; otherwise the color change may lead to erroneous
results.
• Titration curves can show which indicator is suitable for a given titration.

The preparation of a titration curve is not difficult if one realizes that the calculations are based
on only four types of points, which correspond to:

2. The pH of the solution after titrant is added but before the equivalence point is reached
(pH2)

VISUAL END POINTS

• The end points of titrations are most often determined by noting some visual change in the
solution, usually color.
• These changes are always based on the fact that pA or pT changes dramatically and rapidly in
the vicinity of the equivalence point.
• There are three ways that color changes can occur near the equivalence point of a titration.
Regardless of its mechanism, the substance undergoing the color change is called an
indicator.
1. Colored titrants or analytes
2. Specific compound formers
3. Nonspecific, equilibrium-dependent compounds

97
97
VISUAL END POINTS
Nonspecific, equilibrium-dependent compounds
Indicators of this types are characterized by two fundamental properties
a. they exist in two equilibrium forms (i.e. protonated-unprotonated or oxidized-reduced)
b. each form has a different color

The position of the equilibrium between the two forms of the indicator, and therefore its color,
depends in some way on the concentration of analyte or titrant in the solution.

The large relative and rapid change in analyte or titrant concentrations in the vicinity of the
equivalence point causes a large shift in the position of the indicator equilibrium.

When the concentrations of the two forms of the indicator change in order to coincide with the
new equilibrium, the observed color also changes.

The illustration shows the relationship between pH and the indicator color. The ladder diagram

• The weak base form, In , which in this example is red

The indicator changes color when the pH is between


pKa – 1 and pKa – 1, changing from yellow to orange to
red (or from red to orange to yellow).

VISUAL END POINTS
Nonspecific, equilibrium-dependent compounds

The relatively broad range of pH levels over which an indicator changes color means that using a visual indicator to locate the titration’s end point is subject to uncertainty. To minimize a determinate titration error,
an indicator’s entire pH range must fall within the rapid change in pH that occurs near the titration’s equivalence point. As shown in the figure below, phenolphthalein is an appropriate indicator for the titration of
50.0 mL of 0.050 M acetic acid with 0.10 M NaOH. Bromothymol blue, on the other hand, is an inappropriate indicator because its change in color begins before the initial sharp rise in pH, and, as a result, spans a
relatively large range of volumes. The early change in color increases the probability of obtaining inaccurate results, while the range of possible end point volumes increases the probability of obtaining imprecise 101
results. 101

RULE FOR THE USE OF INDICATORS
1. Use 3 drops of indicator test solution for a titration unless otherwise directed.
2. When a SA is titrated with a SB, or a SB with a SA, methyl orange, methyl red or
phenolphthalein may be used.
3. When a WA is titrated with a SB, use phenolphthalein as the indicator.
4. When a WB is titrated with a SA, use methyl red as the indicator.
5. A WB should never be titrated with a WA, or vice versa, since no indicator will give a sharp
end point.
6. The appearance of a color is more easily observable than is the disappearance. Therefore,
always titrate where possible to the appearance of color.
