Titration
Q1: What is Titration?
Answer:
Titration, commonly known as titrimetry, is a chemical qualitative analytical technique for determining the concentration of an analyte in a mixture.
Q2: What is the difference between Equivalence Point and End Point?
Answer:
Equivalence Point is the point where titrant and analyte become chemically equivalent as per stoichiometry of the reaction while End Point is the point where color change happen in the titration?
Q3: What do you mean by Redox Titration?
Answer:
The chemical reaction in which titration occurs through the transfer of electrons in the reactive ions of aqueous solutions. One solution in redox titration is a reducing agent, while the other is an oxidizing agent.
MnO4– + 8H + 5e → Mn2++ 4H2O
Q4: What is the difference between Iodimetric and Iodometric titration?
Answer:
Iodimetric titration involes use I2 as titrant which get reduced to I– when used for titration against a reducing agent while Iodometric involves use of I– which get oxidized to I2 when used to titrate an oxidizing agent.
Q5: What is Titration Curve?
Answer:
Titration Curve is a plot of graph between pH of Analyte vs Volume of the titrant added. The inflection point represents the Eqivalence Point of the reaction.
Titration
Titration is the gradual addition of a known concentration solution (called a titrant) to a known volume of an unknown concentration solution until the reaction approaches equilibrium, which is sometimes shown by a color change. The titrant solution must satisfy the appropriate criteria to be used as a primary or secondary standard. Titration is a technique for determining the concentration of an unknown solution in a general way.
