VOLUMETRIC TITRATION
AIM: Determination Strength of Hydrochloric Acid Using Sodium Hydroxide by Volumetric Titration.
Materials:
● 50 ml Burette with clamp
● Burette Stand
● porcelain tile
● 250 ml conical Flask
● Burette funnel
● 25 ml volumetric pipette
● Pipette bulb
Chemicals:
● Hydrochloric acid
● Sodium hydroxide
● Phenolphthalein indicator
Phenolphthalein:
a pH indicator. In acidic and neutral solutions, the indicator is colorless, but in a basic solution, the co
lor is a vibrant pink. The higher the pH is, the stronger the pink color is. The equivalence point will be
when the color is a very pale pink color. Keep your flask with acid and indicator over a white piece o
f paper to ensure you can see the color change.
Procedure:
Titrant: The solution of known concentration is also called the standardized solution.
the titrant is sodium hydroxide solution.
Burette:A long,cylindrical piece of glass that canbe used to determine small,accurate quantiti
es of a solution. A buret is controlled by a stopcock, a white Teflon piece that can be turned t
o deliver the solution. The markings on the buret are such that you must subtract the initial re
ading (where the titrant level is initially) from the final reading to determine the volume of ba
se delivered. The buret measures 2 digits after the decimal point accurately.
Volumetric pipette/pipette bulb: A thin glass tube with only one marking used to
measure a very specific volume of liquid. You will use a pipette bulb to draw the liquid into t
he pipette.

Plot a graph between conductance and volume of titrant (NaOH solution). Two intersecting lines will
be obtained (as given in the Figure 1) and the points of intersection of these lines represent the
equivalent point. Let, V2 be the volume of NaOH at the equivalent point (from graph) and the
strength of acid is M1 and strength of NaOH solution is M2 = 0.5(N).
Then, M1V1=M2V2

CONDUCTOMETRIC TITRATION
AIM: Determination Strength of Hydrochloric Acid Using Sodium Hydroxide by Conductometric
titration.
Apparatus:
● Conductometer
● conductivity cell
● 100 ml beaker
● 20 ml pipette
● 50 ml burette
● Burette Stand
● porcelain tile
● Glass rod
Chemicals:
● Hydrochloric acid (HCl)
● Sodium hydroxide (NaOH)
● Potassium Chloride (KCl)
● Conductivity water or Distilled Water.
Theory:
Electrolytic conductivity is a measure of the ability of a solution to carry electric current. Electric
solutions conduct electric current by the migration of ions under the influence of directly proportional
to the potential difference (E) and inversely proportional to the resistance (𝜌) of the conductor.
Where the resistance (R) is the hindrance provided by the solution. The resistance of any conductor
varies directly with the length and inversely with its area of cross-section.
R = 𝜌 x ( 𝜌/a)
Where, 𝜌 is the specific resistance and it is the resistance of a unit length of conductor of unit cross-
section. 𝜌/a is called cell constant. The reciprocal of specific resistance is called specific
conductance or conductivity.

Conductance of electrolyte depends upon i) number of free ions, ii) changes on the free ions and iii)
mobility of the ions on the substitution of one ion by another of different mobility (speed of ions). So,
conductometric method can be used to determine the end point of ionic titrations like
i) acidimetric titration, ii) precipitation titration, iii) titration involving the formation of complex ion.
When hydrochloric acid solution (HCl) is titrated with sodium hydroxide solution (NaOH), the highly
mobile hydrogen ions (𝜌 °H+ = 350 ohm–1 cm–1) are progressively replaced by slower moving sodium
ions (𝜌°Na+ = 50 ohm–1 cm–1) and the conductance of the solution decreases. After the end point, the
conductance of the solution rises sharply due to the presence of excess, highly mobile hydroxide ion
(𝜌 °OH– = 198 ohm–1 cm–1).
Thus the neutralization of a strong acid by addition of a strong base leads to a minimum conductance
at the end points. This is due to the disappearance of H+ ions and their replacement by slower moving
Na+ ions of the base followed by the presence of highly mobile OH– ions after the end point.
Therefore, the nature of the plot (conductance of the solution versus volume of base added) will be as
given below:

Plot a graph between conductance and volume of titrant (NaOH solution). Two intersecting lines will
be obtained (as given in the Figure 1) and the points of intersection of these lines represent the
equivalent point. Let, V2 be the volume of NaOH at the equivalent point (from graph) and the
strength of acid is M1 and strength of NaOH solution is M2 = 0.5(N).
Then, M1V1=M2V2

M1 = (V2×2/20) (N)
Discussions:
● Normally, the coloured solution which cannot be titrated with volumetric method using
indicator can be titrated by the conductometric method.
● The conductometric titration method can be used in case of weak acid vs. weak base and also
in case of very dilute solutions.
● Near the end point, no special case is necessary as it is determined graphically.
PH METRIC TITRATION
7|Page
Apparatus:
● pH meter
● pH electrode
● 100 ml beaker
● 20 ml pipette
● 50 ml burette
● Burette Stand
● porcelain tile
● Glass rod
● Wash Bottle
Chemicals:
● 0.1N Hydrochloric acid (HCl)
● 0.25N Sodium hydroxide (Noah)
● Distilled Water.
● buffer of pH = 4 and 7
Theory:
pH of any solution is defined as (–log H+) and has values between 0–14. pH < 7 indicate
acidic solution, pH > 7 indicate basic solution and pH = 7 means neutral solution.
The pH of a solution can be measured accurately with the help of a pH meter. Measurement
of pH is employed to monitor the cause of acid-base titration. The pH values of the solution
at different stage of acid–base neutralization are determined and plotted against the volume of
alkali added on adding a base to an acid, the pH rises slowly in the initial stages as the
concentration of H+ ion decreases gradually. But, at the equivalence point, it increases
rapidly as at the equivalent point H+ ion concentration is very small. Then it flattens out after
the end point. The end point of the titration can be detected where the pH value changes most
rapidly. However, the shape of the curve depends upon the ionisability of the acid and the
base used and also on the acidity of base and basicity of the acid.

Precaution:
● Electrodes must be immersed in the solution properly and sufficient time to be allowed
for the electrodes to obtain the temperature of the solution.
● pH meter should be calibrated before the experiment.
● Glass rod may be used or the solution be stirring from time to time during pH metric
titration
● Leave the selector in zero position where it is not in use.
Procedure:
20
Plot a graph between pH and volume of NaOH added and find out the volume of NaOH
required (V2 mL) for complete neutralization of HCl from the graph. Then find out the
strength of HCl (N1) and strength of NaOH solution is M2 = 0.25N.
Then, M1V1=M2V2
M1 = (V2×2/20) (N)

● Conical flask
● 250 mL graduated cylinders
● Standard flask
● Wash Bottle
● Beaker
CHEMICALS:

● Ammonium Hydroxide
● EDTA (Disodium Salt of EDTA)
● Erichrome Black T
● Magnesium sulphate
INTRODUCTION:
Water that has high mineral content is known as Hard water. Hard water contains bicarbonate,
chlorides and sulphates of calcium and magnesium.
When treated hard water with soap, it gets precipitated in the form of insoluble salts of calcium and
magnesium. Hardness of water is a measure of the total concentration of the calcium and magnesium
ions expressed as calcium carbonate. There are two types of hardness
1. Temporary hardness
2. 2. Permanent hardness
Temporary Hardness is due to the presence of bicarbonates of calcium and magnesium. It can be
easily removed by boiling.
11 | P a g e
Permanent Hardness is due to the presence of chlorides and sulphates of calcium and magnesium.
This type of hardness cannot be removed by boiling.
PRINCIPLE:
A water sample is buffered to pH 10.1 and taken in to a conical flask. If an indicator dye like EBT,
when added to a solution containing Calcium and Magnesium ions, the color of the solution turns to
wine red.
EDTA, the titrant, complexes with Magnesium and Calcium ions, removing them from association
with the indicator.
When all the Mg and Ca are complexed with EDTA, the indicator will turn blue. This is the end point
of the titration.
PRECAUTIONS:
● Here we are handling ammonia solution so necessary precaution should be taken for
preventing the inhalation.
● It causes irritation if inhaled.
● Do not pipette out the buffer solution using either measuring cylinder, automatic pipette (or)
pipette with a sucker.
● Always store EDTA solution and buffer solution in a plastic or resistant glass container.
● Discard the buffer solution if it is turbid or if it is stored for a very long period of time.
PROCEDURE:
PREPARATION OF REAGENTS:
● Switch on the Electronic balance, keep the weighing pan, set the reading to zero.

color.
● Before starting the titration rinse the burette with few mL of EDTA. Fill the burette with
0.02M EDTA solution and adjust to zero then fix it in burette stand.
● Titrate the sample against the EDTA solution in the burette till all calcium and magnesium
ions present in the sample reacts with the EDTA. The appearance of blue colour indicates that
all Ca & Mg ions
● are complexed with EDTA and forms a metal EDTA complex i.e., the end point of the
titration.

CHEMICALS:
Potentiometric titration is the titration in which potentiometric measurements are carried out in order
to fix the end point. In this method, the interest is with the change in electrode potential, rather than
with an accurate value for the electrode potential in a given solution. In a potentiometric titration, the
change in cell e.m.f. occurs most rapidly in the neighbourhood of the end point. The Fe(II) –K2Cr2O7
redox system is represented as
The determining factor is the ratio of the concentrations of the oxidised and the reduced forms of the
iron species.

where Eo is the standard Reduction Potential of the system. Thus the potential of the immersed
electrode is controlled by the ration of these concentrations. During redox reactions, the potential
