                                            Acid Base Titration

In chemistry acid base titration are used for analyse the unknown organic compound concentration of an acid and base.

 Principle -Titration is based on neutralise the reaction through acid and base

Indicator- Phenolphthalein is the most usable indicator for acid base titration.

Reaction - Reaction are involved to transfer of proton Eg. Base accepted proton from acid.

 Equivalent point- moles of H+ are equal to the moles of OH-

During titration- Acid is taken in burette to the known volume of base in a conical flask to make the equivalent point (endpoint) of titration.

Theories:-

 1. There are three theories-

1.     2.  Arrhenius theory

2.      3.  Bronsted lowry theory

3.       4. Lewis theory

1. Arrhenius theory- This concept are given by Savante Arrhenius in 1884 with termed as Arrhenius theory. This is first scientific theory are given by acid and base.

Acid- According to this theory those substance which produce free hydrogen ion in an aqueous solution are called acid.

Base- According to this concept, those substance which produced free hydroxide (OH-) ion an aqueous solution.

Eg- HCL,HNO3, H2SO4, CH3COOH etc.

Where, Hcl is arrhenious acid

             NaOH is Arrhenius base.

2. Bronsted lowry theory – This theory are introduced by J.N Bronsted  and J.M lowry in 1923.

Acid- According to this theory those substance which have tendency to donate proton (H+) by any method in any solvent. Eg; Hcl

Base- According to this theory, those substance which have tendency to accept proton (H+) by any method in any solvent are called base. Eg- CL, O2 etc.

3. Lewis theory- This theory are given by G.N Lewis in 1930

Acid- According to this theory, those substance which have tendency to gain electron pair (cation).

Base- According to this theory, those substance which have tendency to donate electron pair (anion).

                                            Neutralisation curves

A reaction in which an acid react with base to produce salt or neutralise base is called neutralisation reaction.

Neutralisation curve are plotted as follows-

·        1.Weak acid & Strong base

·        2. Strong acid & Strong base

·        3Strong acid & Weak base

·        4. Weak acid & Weak base

 

      I.         1.   Weak Acid & Strong Base

      I.  v    ஃ  In this titration weak acid (acetic acid) is treated with strong base (sodium hydroxide) by using indicators (Thymolphthalein, Phenolphthalein, Methyl red, Methyl orange) to detect the endpoint.

v     ஃ  During titration weak acids dissociate slowly and strong base are dissociate rapidly.

v     ஃ Initially, PH is Normal during reaction process, So curve will not raise much It’s called half    neutralisation point.

     The PH is rises due to presence of excess amount strong alkali.

    II.          2. Strong acid & Strong Base

v     ஃ In this titration, the substance take 50ml of a strong acid (HCl- 0.1M) and strong base (NaOH-0.10M) are reacted with each other by using indicator (Phenolphthalein , Bromothymol blue, Methyl red). 

v     ஃ Acid and base are fastly breakdown in cation and anion and react with each other to form salt and water.

v     ஃ During starting PH slowly rise due to presence of excess of alkali pH is rises fast.

             3.   Weak Acid & Weak Base

v  In this titration weak acid {ethanoic acid (CH3COOH)0.1M} is treated with weak base {aqueous ammonia (NH4OH) 0.1M}by using mix indicators (red methylene blue mixed).

v  Main features of change the PH curve near equation point and neutralised slowly.

v  So the end point are not detect by any single indicators, for detection mixed indicator are used.

v  Eg. Bromothymol blue and phenol red, cresol red and Thymol Blue.

  IV.          4. Strong acid & Weak Base

v  ஃ In this titration strong acid(HCl) is treated with weak base (aqs. ammonia solution) with the help of indicator (Phenolphthalein , Bromothymol blue, Methyl red, Methyl orange) to detect the endpoint.

v  ஃ During this titration base are dissociated slowly and strong acid are dissociate fastly.

v  ஃ In Initially, PH is normal and curve will not raise, So this is called half neutralisation point/curve.

v  ஃ Sharply rises the PH due to presence of excess amount of strong alkali substance.


                                 NON AQUEOUS TITRATION

The Titration is involving very weak acid or base with the help of non-aqueous solution to determine correct end point.

Principle- some acid and bases are insoluble or very slow soluble in water and the can’t analysed during titration method so no- aqueous solvent are used to proper dissolve the sample.

Non aqueous solvent

The nature of solvent are decided the behaviour of acid and base. If any solute dissolved in any given solvent with acidic or alkaline nature.

Characteristic-

Non aqueous solvent have mainly two characteristic role in non-aqueous titration-

·        The solvent should be non-toxic

·        It should be liquid during analysis

Types of solvent -  Generally, organic solvent are used in the non-aqueous titration. The non- aqueous solvent can be classified based on the proton donor or acceptor properties.

On the acid base properties of the solute they are classified in four types:-

1.      1. Aprotic solvent

2.      2Protophilic solvent

3.      3. Protogenic solvent

4.      4. Amphiprotic

 

1.      1. Aprotic solvent: These solvents are generally chemically neutral and hydrocarbons or chlorinated hydrocarbons.

 These solvents not contain any proton or hydrogen Example- toluene, carbon tetrachloride, acetone, chloroform, benzene etc.

2.      2. Protophilic solvents:  These are basic in nature and react with acid to form the soluted proton. It shows the greater tendency to the accepting the proton and have high di-electric constant. Eg- water, alcohol.

3.     3.  Protogenic solvents: These solvents have more acidic character and have high affinity for donating protons Example, alcohol, organic acid, hydrogen fluoride H2SO4 (These are strong acid and act as proton donor it is important to enhancement of the strength of weak base).

4.      4. Amphiprotic solvent- These solvents like water, alcohol and organic acid (weak) act as amphiprotic solvent.

 These solvent causes both acidic and basic properties and high dielectric constant

                                                           Or 

These solvent have the ability to donate, as well as accept the proton, because they contain both protogenic and protophilic properties Example, water, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, etc.

Indicators for non- aqueous solvent- Methyl red, Naphthol benzene, Thymol blue, etc.

Advantages-

·        Acid and base are easily soluble in non- aqueous solvent.

·        Non- aqueous solvent can dissolve in two or more acid.

·        The biological ingredients are selectively titrated with suitable solvent or indicator in acidic or basic medium.

·        Non- aqueous titration are comparatively simple and accurate.

Application- By the use of non-aqueous titration determined as follows-

·        % of purity

·        Hydrophobic

·        Steroid

·        Anti-tubercular

·        Phenobarbitone
