5Last exercise involved acid-base titration in
which concentration of NaOH was given.
In this exercise, you STANDARDIZE the NaOH.
Standardization Analytical determination of
purity or concentration of substance through
reaction with substance of verified composition
and purity (Primary Standard )
This STANDARDIZATION involves reaction of the
base, NaOH, with a PRIMARY STANDARD, the weak
acid
High purity Stable Not hygroscopic Not
efflorescent High solubility High molar mass
H
potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP)
phthalic acid
6STOICHIOMETRY
KHP is a monoprotic weak acid. One available
proton.

pKa is 5.4
The stoichiometry of the reaction is

Acetic acid, CH3COOH, is also a monoprotic weak
acid.
CH3COOH OH- ? CH3COO- H2O

15PROCEDURE (contd)
Determine concentration of stock NaOH Solution
( Nominally 0.1 M )
Titrate
measured volumes of standard KHP solution (known
concentration)
with
measured volumes of NaOH Solution (unknown
concentration)
(Delivered from buret 1 )
(Delivered from buret 2 )
16In STANDARDIZATION, BOTH REAGENTS are delivered
by a BURET
KHP
- Can "BACKTITRATE
- I.e., if end point is overshot, can recover by
adding more KHP and continuing titration, e.g.,
NaOH
Do at most 3 titrations for the standardization
1. Add measured volume of KHP(35mL) 2. Titrate
to Phenolphthalein Endpoint 3. If overshoot
endpoint, add more KHP 4. Titrate to
Phenolphthalein Endpoint again
Make sure you label the burets.
17Having determined concentration of KHP solution,
calculate volume of 0.1 M NaOH needed to react
with 35 mL of KHP.
35 mL of our KHP solution (0.06047 M) contains
Amt Concentration X Volume
Why do we make this calculation?
35 mL X 0.06047 mmol / mL 2.1 mmol of KHP
That will require 2.1 mmol of NaOH
So we will know when to begin to add the NaOH
slowly!
What volume of 0.1 M NaOH will contain 2.1 mmol
of NaOH?
m moles Molarity (mmol/mL) X Volume (m L)
Amt Concentration X Volume
2.1 mmol 0.1 (mmol/mL) X V (mL)
V 2.1 / 0.1 21 mL ? 20 mL
18How many mL of 0.10 M NaOH would 35 mL of 0.10 M
KHP require?
- 25 mL
- 35 mL
- 0.006407 M
- Whatever
19How many mL of 0.10 M NaOH would 35 mL of 0.10
M KHP require?
Stoichiometry is 1 ? 1 35 mL X 0.10 M 3.5
mmol KHP 3.5 mmol KHP ? 3.5 mmol NaOH 0.10 M
0.10 mmol/mL 3.5 mmol / 0.10 mmol/mL 35 mL So,
the answer is,
B 35 mL
20PROCEDURE - UNKNOWN
Unknowns are solutions of acetic acid in water.
We titrate aliquots of (undiluted) unknown. In
this exercise, aliquot is a 5 mL pipet-ful (5.00
? 0.01) of solution
Mandrake Root Extract
- Dilute unknown with distilled water ( 40 mL)
- Add Phenolphthalein as indicator
- Titrate unknown to phenolphthalein end point.
Remember you cannot backtitrate in this case
Since aliquots are identical, can track precision
of titration by calculating percent error
involumes of NaOH used.
Adding water doesnt change the amount of acetic
acid.
aliquots are fixed, repetitive fractions of a
solution
21E.g., suppose volumes of NaOH are
25.37
,25.84
, 24.93
Avg Vol (25.37 25.84 24.93) / 3
25.38 Avg Dev ( 0.01 0.46
0.45) / 3 0.31 Dev 100 X 0.31 /
25.38 1.2
Since all other numbers in subsequent
calculations are the same for any run, that will
be percent deviation in the final result.
Do at most 5 titrations for unknown (incl prelim)
22The darkest pink color is the best signal for the
equivalence point in the titration of acetic acid
with NaOH using phenolphthalein
- True
- False
23The lightest pink color is the best signal for
the equivalence point in the titration of acetic
acid with NaOH using phenolphthalein
A few drops after that point is reached, the pH
of the solution increases rapidly and the
solution gets as deeply colored as it is able.
On further addition of base, solution lightens
due to dilution.
B False
24KHP Unknown solutions are colorless. No
interference from beverage color.

37Suppose you over-titrate by 10 drops I.e.,
you go past the end point by 10 drops (0.5 mL).
How large an error in accuracy results?
- Unknowns range in concentration from 0.5 M to
1.0 M. - 5 mL of the unknown contains between 2.5 and 5.0
- mmol of acetic acid.
- That will require between 25 and 50 mL of 0.1 M
NaOH
The error represented by 0.5 mL will range from
100 X 0.5 / 25 2 to 100 X 0.5 / 50 1
Errors in indentifying the end point are not a
major contribution to errors in the accuracy of
the concentration of the vinegar unknown.
38What about the pipet?
The volume of the sample you are using is 5.00
mL, delivered by pipet.
The intrinsic precision of the 5 mL pipet is
0.01 mL
100 X 0.01 / 5.00 0.2
BUT
The volume of a drop is 0.05 mL. ?Each drop
represents 100 X 0.05/5.00 1 error in
the volume delivered!
39PITFALLS TO AVOID
- Incomplete transfer of solid KHP into flask
(caused by weighing using a watch glass or paper) - Weigh by difference!
- 2. Failure to dissolve KHP completely
- Make sure no KHP particles remain undissolved
- 3. Incomplete transfer of KHP solution from
Erlenmeyer to volumetric flask - Transfer completely and rinse with distilled
water from wash bottle - 4. Failing to bring KHP solution to correct
volume - Use dropper for last 0.5 mL !
405. Incomplete mixing of KHP solution in
volumetric flask Mix thoroughly both before and
after bringing to final volume 6. Improper use
of the pipet Make sure you use the pipet as
instructed 7. Contamination of unknown by
allowing contact with syringe while
pipeting Discard any sample for which this
happens 8. Over-titrating unknown Stop at
earliest detectable pink color
GRADE ON THIS EXERCISE WILL DEPEND ON both
Accuracy and Precision
