Potentiometric Titrations

Potentiometric titration is one of the important titration methods and is mainly carried out to characterize acid solutions. It follows a method similar to that of the normal titration technique, but the main difference is that there is no indicator used in the potentiometric titrations. Instead of using an indicator, electrodes are employed for monitoring the whole titration process. A scientist named Robert Behrend did the potentiometric titration for the first time, and it was done using the mercurous solution and potassium chloride.

Acid-Base Equilibria Many factors contribute to the acidity of organic compounds. Electronegativity, resonance, induction, hybridization, aromaticity, and atomic size, all play a role. In the following comparisons, you are asked to identify the factor(s) that would be most important to analyze when predicting relative acidity, and then to predict the trend in acidity and pKa values. For each of the following pairs of compounds answer the following two multiple-choice questions. 1. What factor(s) are the most important to consider when predicting the relative acidity of the two compounds? a. Electronegativity of the atom possessing the hydrogen. b. Resonance stabilization of the anionic conjugate base. c. Inductive stabilization of the anionic conjugate base. d. Hybridization of the atom possessing the hydrogen. e. The atomic size of the atom possessing the hydrogen.

You found a bottle of aqueous solution in the laboratory cabinet. Unfortunately, the label has been eroded and you could not recognize it. To the best of your recollection, it may be one of the following solutions:  HCl  CH3COOH  CH3CH2COOH  A mixture of HF and NaF (both of substantial amount)  A mixture of H3PO4 and NaH2PO4 (both of substantial amount)  NH4Cl  NaHCO3 In order to identify the solution, you conduct the following experiments: Using a pH meter, you determine the pH of the solution to be 3.00. You dilute 20 mL of the solution with water to a total volume of 200 mL and measure the pH again, this time it reads 3.50. You take some volume of the solution, add phenolphthalein, and titrate it with NaOH solution until the mixture turns pink. You record the volume of the required titrant as Vt and the pH meter reads 9.05. In a separate flask, you take the same volume of the unknown solution as in step iii and titrate it with the same NaOH…
