Chemical:
1M NaOH, unknown acidic solutions A and B.
Theory:
Potentiometric titration is a volumetric method in which the potential between two ele
measured (referent and indicator electrode) as a function of the added reagent volume. The most
common potentiometric measurement is that of pH. pH was defined originally as ~ logy 4 0
log(I/C +1) , where C, . is the concentration of hydrogen ion. Today instead of C, , one would
write a. 1, the activity of hydrogen ion.
‘The measurement of the pH of a solution is simple in principle, of it is based on the measurement ’
of the potential of hydrogen electrode immersed in the solution. The left-hand, i.e. the reference:
electrode of the cell is typically a saturated calomel electrode (SCE) with potential E(cal). The —

‘Theory:
Ion exchangeis an exchange of ions between tw0 electrolytes or between an
electrolyte solution and acomplex. In most cases the term is used! to denote: the piosssses of
purification, separation, and decontamination of aqueous: and other ion-containing solutions with
solid polymeric or mineral ‘ion exchangers!
Jon exchange resins are highly ionic, covalent
as beads. There are two general types of ion exchange r
called cation exchange resins, and those that exchange negative fons,
resins.
The "reactivation" process is called regener
cation (as a source of hydronium ions) and liqui
hydroxyl ions for the anion, Resin is regenerated on site using hydrochloric or sulfuric acid and
sodium hydroxide (caustic) to regenerate the cation and anion resin respectively
When solution of fertilizer is passed through the column the cation ions present in it form acid.
‘and washed out through the column which is then neutralize with base.

Procedui
Prepare a column of cation exchange resin. The resin bed should be about 20 em long and lem
wide and it should be free from air bubbles. Wash the column with 50 ml water then regenerate it
with 20 ml 1M HCI. Again wash it with 50 ml water to remove the excess HC! from column.
Weigh accurately 0.8 — 1 gm of given fertilizer and dissolve in 10ml distilled water. Introduce
concentrated hydrochloric acid 0.1 ~ 0.5m (it converts all the phosphate to phosphoric acid!
nitrate to nitric acid), The pH of this solution should be less than 2. Pass the sample solution,
through resin column and collect the sample in another 250 ml beaker. Wash the column with
250 ml water. Now collect all the washing in separate beaker. After 150 ml of water has passed
out, freshly collect 20 ml solution in small beaker and note the pH. If pH of the effluent is more
than 4 it means washing of the column is complete.

1. An acidic buffer solution is simply one which has a pH less than 7. Acidic buffer
solutions are commonly made from a weak acid and one of its salts - often a sodium salt,

commonly made from a seg base and one ofits salts. eS

Theory:
Conductometric titration is a type of titration in which the electrolytic conductivity of the
reaction mixture is continuously monitored as one reactant is added. The equivalence point is the
point at which the conductivity undergoes a sudden change.
In this experiment we shall be concemed with electrical conduction through aqueous solutions.
Although water is itself a very poor conductor of electricity, the presence of ionic species in
solution increases the conductance considerably. The conductance of such electrolytic solutions
depends on the concentration of the ions and also on the nature of the ions present (through their
charges and mobilities), Conductance behavior as a function of concentration is different for
strong and weak electrolytes.
The conductivity of a solution depends on the concentrations and mobilities of the ions present.
It is convenient to define a quantity, the molar conductance A,
_ 1000K«
a c
Where ¢ is the molar concentratior pressed in mol.dm™, 1000 is the factor arising from
the fact that 1 dm* =1000 cm’. Thus, the molar conductance is expressed in S-cm? -mol". The
molar conductance is sometimes described as the actual conductance of that volume of solution
which contains one mole of solute when placed between parallel electrodes 1 em apart with a
uniform electric field between them
Procedure:
Set the measuring cell constant on the unit 1.00 cm ' with control knob K = emt" First of all
wash the electrodes thoroughly with distilled water; note the conductance of distilled water at
room temp.
Pipette out 20 ml sample in 50 ml beaker, adjust the electrode and note the conductance of the
sample. Now add 0.5 ml base from burette and note the conductance on each 0.5 ml addition of
basic solution (continuously stir the solution with the help of glass rode).
