TITRATION

NEUTRALIZATION

QUANTITATIVE

ANALYSIS

Relating to the amount. E.g. volumetric analysis. 

Acid (+) + Base (-) --> Salt + Water

QUALITATIVE

Use agents to find out info. Identification of ions and gases. 

TITRATION

2 agents, reducing and oxidizing

REDOX

ACID-BASE

Titration - To calculate the concentration of the unknown solution. 

REDUCTION

OXIDATION

Analyte - Solution with unknown concentration 

Standard Solution - Solution with known concentration 

Titrant/Titre - Placed in conical flask. It is the analyte. 

Indicator - Makes colorless solution change into a colored solution when reaction is complete. 

1) PHENOPTHALIN - Colorless in acidic solutions, turns pink in alkaine solutions. 

2) METHAL ORANGE - Red in acidic solution, and changes to a shade of yellow as solution gets more alkaline. 

3) LITMUS SOLUTION - Red in acidic solution ,blue in alkaline solution. 

ENDPOINT/EQUIVALENCE - All the acid gets neutralized by base. 

APPARATUS REQUIRED: 

- Acid 

- Base

- Indicator

- Pipette

- Burette

- Pipette filler 

- Conical flask 

- Retort stand

- Filter funnel
