Strength of Acids and Bases
Example 130 mL of 0.10M NaOH neutralised 25.0mL of hydrochloric acid. Determine the concentration of the acid
1. Write the balanced chemical equation for the reactionNaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) -----> NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)
2. Extract the relevant information from the question:NaOH V = 30mL , M = 0.10M HCl V = 25.0mL, M = ?
3. Check the data for consistencyNaOH V = 30 x 10-3L , M = 0.10M HCl V = 25.0 x 10-3L, M = ?
4. Calculate moles NaOHn(NaOH) = M x V = 0.10 x 30 x 10-3 = 3 x 10-3 moles
5. From the balanced chemical equation find the mole ratioNaOH:HCl1:1
Example 1 (continued)
6. Find moles HClNaOH: HCl is 1:1
So n(NaOH) = n(HCl) = 3 x 10-3 moles at the equivalence point
Calculate concentration of HCl: M = n ÷ V
n = 3 x 10-3 mol, V = 25.0 x 10-3L
M(HCl) = 3 x 10-3 ÷ 25.0 x 10-3 = 0.12M or 0.12 mol L-1
Example 2 50mL of 0.2mol L-1 NaOH neutralised 20mL of sulfuric acid. Determine the concentration of the acid
1. Write the balanced chemical equation for the reactionNaOH(aq) + H2SO4(aq) -----> Na2SO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)
2. Extract the relevant information from the question:NaOH V = 50mL, M = 0.2M H2SO4 V = 20mL, M = ?
3. Check the data for consistencyNaOH V = 50 x 10-3L, M = 0.2M H2SO4 V = 20 x 10-3L, M = ?
4. Calculate moles NaOHn(NaOH) = M x V = 0.2 x 50 x 10-3 = 0.01 mol
5. From the balanced chemical equation find the mole ratioNaOH:H2SO4
2:1
Example 2 (continued)
6. Find moles H2SO4
NaOH: H2SO4 is 2:1
So n(H2SO4) = ½ x n(NaOH) = ½ x 0.01 = 5 x 10-3 moles H2SO4 at the equivalence point
7. Calculate concentration of H2SO4: M = n ÷ Vn = 5 x 10-3 mol, V = 20 x 10-3L
M(H2SO4) = 5 x 10-3 ÷ 20 x 10-3 = 0.25M or 0.25 mol L-1
Karl Fischer Titration (KFT)
Applications– Food, pharma, consumer products – Anywhere where water can affect
stability or properties
Karl Fischer (a German chemist) developed a specific reaction for selectively and specifically determining water at low levels.– The reaction uses a non-aqueous
system containing excess of sulfur dioxide, with a primary alcohol as the solvent and a base as the buffering agent
A modern KF titrator
Karl Fischer titration is a widely used analytical technique for quantitative analysis of total water content in a material
For more information about KFT, see US Pharmacopeia 921
Karl Fischer Reaction and Reagents
CH3OH + SO2+ RN [RNH]+SO3CH3-
[RNH]+SO3CH3- + H2O + I2 + 2RN [RNH]+SO4CH3 + 2[RNH]+I-
0.2 M I2, 0.6M SO2, 2.0 M pyridine in methanol/ethanol
Pyridine free (e.g. imidazole) Endpoint detection: bipotentiometric detection of I- by a
dedicated pair of Pt electrodes Detector sees a constant current during the titration, sudden
drop when endpoint is reached (I- disappears, and only I2 is around when the reaction finishes)
Reaction:
Reagents:
ester
Volumetric Karl Fischer Titration
Volumetric KFT (recommended for larger samples > 50 mg)– One component
Titrating agent: one-component reagent (I2, SO2, imidazole or other base)
Analyte of known mass added– Two component (reagents are separated)
Titrating agent (I2 and methanol) Solvent containing all other reagents used as
working medium in titration cell
Columetric Karl Fischer Titration
Coulometric KFT (recommended for smaller samples < 50 mg)– Iodine is generated electrochemically via dedicated Pt
electrodesQ = 1 C = 1 A x 1 s where 1 mg H2O = 10.72 C
Two methods:– Conventional (Fritted cell): frit separates the anode
from the cathode– Fritless cell: innovative cell design (through a
combination of factors but not a frit), impossible for Iodine to reach cathode and get reduced
Common Problems with Karl Fischer Titrations Titration solvents: stoichiometry of the KF reaction must be
complete and rapid solvents must dissolve samples or water may remain trapped solvents must not cause interferences
pH– Optimum pH is 4-7– Below pH 3, KF reaction proceeds slowly– Above pH 8, non-stoichiometric side reactions are significant
Other errors:– Atmospheric moisture is generally the largest cause of error in
routine analysis
When operated properly, KFT can yield reproducible water titration values with 2-5% w/w precision– E.g. sodium tartrate hydrate (15.66% water theory) usually yields
KFT values in the 15.0-16.4% w/w range
Aldehydes and Ketones– Form acetals and ketals respectively with normal
methanol-containing reagents– Water formed in this reaction will then be titrated to give
erroneously high water results– With aldehydes a second side reaction can take place,
consuming water, which can lead to sample water content being underestimated
– Replacing methanol with another solvent can solve the difficulties (commercial reagents are widely available)
Common Problems with Karl Fischer Titrations
Oven Karl Fischer Some substances only release their water at high
temperatures or undergo side reactions in the KF media – The moisture in these substances can be driven off in
an oven at 100°C to 300°C. – The moisture is then transferred to the titration cell
using an inert gas Uses:
– Insoluble materials (plastics, inorganics)– Compounds that are oxidized by iodine
Results in anomalously high iodine consumption leading to an erroneously high water contents
Includes: bicarbonates, carbonates, hydroxides, peroxides, thiosulphates, sulphates, nitrites, metal oxides, boric acid, and iron (III) salts.
Thermal Analysis Thermal analysis: determining a specific physical
property of a substance as a function of temperature In modern practice:
– The physical property and temperature are measured and recorded simultaneously
– The temperature is controlled in a pre-defined manner Classification:
– Methods which measure absolute properties (e.g. mass, as in TGA)
– Methods which measure the difference in some property between the sample and a reference (e.g. DTA)
– Methods which measure the rate at which a property is changing
Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA)
Concept: Sample is loaded onto an accurate balance and it is heated at a controlled rate, while its mass is monitored and recorded. The results show the temperatures at which the mass of the sample changes.
Selected applications:– determining the presence and quantity of hydrated
water– determining oxygen content– studying decomposition
TG Instrumentation
Components:– Sensitive analytical
balance– Furnace– Purge gas system– Computer

Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA)
Concept: sample and a reference material are heated at a constant rate while their temperatures are carefully monitored. Whenever the sample undergoes a phase transition (including decomposition) the temperature of the sample and reference material will differ.– At a phase transition, a material absorbs heat without
its temperature changing
Useful for determining the presence and temperatures at which phase transitions occur, and whether or not a phase transition is exothermic or endothermic.
DTA Instrumentation
General Principles of DTA
H (+) endothermic reaction - temp of sample lags behind temp of reference
H (-) exothermic reaction - temp of sample exceeds that of reference
Applications of DTA
Glass transitionsCrystallizationMeltingOxidationDecompositionPhase transitions
T = Ts - Tr
Endothermic reactions: fusion, vaporization, sublimation, ab/desorption, dehydration, reduction, decompositionExothermic reactions : adsorption, crystallization, oxidation, polymerization and catalytic reactions
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)
Analogous to DTA, but the heat input to sample and reference is varied in order to maintain both at a constant temperature.
Key distinction:– In DSC, differences in energy are measured– In DTA, differences in temperature are measured
DSC is far easier to use routinely on a quantitative basis, and has become the most widely used method for thermal analysis
DSC Instrumentation
There are two common DSC methods– Power compensated DSC: temperature of sample and
reference are kept equal while both temperatures are increased linearly
– Heat flux DSC: the difference in heat flow into the sample/reference is measured while the sample temperature is changed at a constant rate
DSC Instrumentation
A modern heat flux DSC (the TA Q2000)

MeltingGlass transition Recrystallization
Applications of DSC DSC is usually carried
out in linear increasing-temperature scan mode (but can do isothermal experiments)– In linear scan mode,
DSC provides melting point data for crystalline organic compounds and Tg for polymers
Easily used for detection of bound crystalline water molecules or solvents, and measures the enthalpy of phase changes and decomposition

Applications of DSC
DSC is useful in studies o polymorphism in organic molecular crystalline compounds (e.g. pharmaceuticals, explosives, food products)
