Pharmaceutical analysis ||. Acid base titration
✯Acid base titration✯
✷ It is a quantitative analysis of acid and base through this process, an acid or base of know concentration neutralizes an acid or base of unknown concentration.
✷ The titration process can be monitored by visual indication, pH electrode or both.
Equivalence point indicate the exactly neutralized acid base concentration.
◍Equivalence point ;
• It's the point at which the titrant has exactly neutralized the mi acid or base in the unknown analyte.
Types of Acid-base Titrations;
1. Titration of strong acid -strong base
2. Titration of weak acid - strong base
3. Titration of strong acid- weak base
4. Titrations of weak acid - weak base
1. Titrations of strong acid-strong base;
• In this type of Titrations analyte is HCl ( strong acid ) and titrant NaOH ( strong base)
•At the equivalence point hydronium and hydroxy ions will react to form H2O.
• leading to a pH of 7 .
• This is true of all strong acid and strong base Titration.
HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O
2. Titrations of weak acid - strong base;
• In the titration analyte is CH3COOH ( weak acid ) and the titrant is NaOH (strong base).
CH3COOH + NaOH. →. CH3COONa + H2O
3. Titration of a strong acid - weak base ;
• In this Titration analyte is HCl ( strong acid) and the titrant is ammonia NH3 (weak base)
4. Titration of weak acid - weak base;
• titrant is acetic acid and analyte is ammonia.
✯ Neutralization curve ;
• A plot of pH against the volume of titrant used/ added (ml) known as neutralization curve or titration curve.
• This neutralization curve used to determine—
Equivalence point of acid base.
1. Titration of strong acid with strong base;
Point 1—& Indicate No NaOH added yet pH of analyte is low.
Point 2— This is the pH before Neutralization.
Point — This is equivalence point at this point moles of NaOH = moles of HCl.
Point 4— Addition of NaOH , pH start bewming basic between HCl has been completely neutralized.
Running acid into the alkaline -
(Running alkali into acid )
Point 1— No NaOH added
Point 2 — pH just before Neutralization.
Point 3_— Equivalence point moles of NaOH = of CH3COOH.
Point 4— Beyond equivalence.
( Running acid into alkali)
3. Titration of a strong acid with weak base ;
( Running alkali into acid)
Analyte= HCl
Titrant = NH3
