TITRATION | Chemistry Animation
TLDRThis educational video script introduces the concept of titration, a laboratory technique used to determine the concentration of an unknown solution. It explains the process of acid-base titration, where a solution of known concentration reacts with another of unknown concentration to measure its strength. The script details a specific example using sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid, with phenolphthalein as an indicator to identify the endpoint of the reaction. It also distinguishes between the endpoint and the equivalence point in titration. The video concludes with a practical problem to calculate the concentration of hydrochloric acid, providing a step-by-step guide to understanding and applying titration in chemistry.
Takeaways
- 🧪 Titration is a laboratory method used to determine the unknown concentration of a solution by reacting it with a solution of known concentration.
- 🔍 In an acid-base titration, a known concentration of acid is used to find the unknown concentration of a base, or vice versa.
- 💧 The process involves adding a solution of unknown concentration (e.g., HCl) to an Erlenmeyer flask and using a burette to add a solution of known concentration (e.g., NaOH).
- 📝 An indicator, such as phenolphthalein, is used to signal the end point of the titration by changing color from colorless to light pink.
- 🎯 The end point is when the color change is permanent, indicating that the amount of NaOH added has slightly exceeded what is needed for the reaction.
- 🕒 The equivalence point is when the moles of H+ ions have reacted with the same amount of OH- ions, which is a temporary color change in the titration.
- 📉 In practice, the equivalence point is not directly observable, so the end point is used for calculations.
- ⚖️ The volume of NaOH used at the end point is crucial for calculating the unknown concentration of the acid.
- 📚 The script provides an example problem where 50 mL of HCl solution is titrated with 0.152 M NaOH, and 33.32 mL of NaOH is used to reach the endpoint.
- 🧐 The balanced chemical equation is essential for converting the moles of NaOH to moles of HCl in the calculations.
- 📉 The concentration of HCl is calculated to be 0.1016 M using the volume of NaOH and the balanced equation.
Q & A
What is titration and why is it used in chemistry?
-Titration is a laboratory method used by chemists to quantify the unknown concentration of a solution by reacting it with a solution of known concentration. It is commonly used in acid-base reactions to determine the concentration of one reactant when the other is known.
How does an acid-base titration work?
-In an acid-base titration, a solution with a known concentration of acid (or base) is reacted with a base (or acid) of unknown concentration to determine its concentration. The process involves adding the solution of known concentration to the unknown solution until the reaction is complete, which is indicated by a color change from an indicator.
What is the role of an indicator in titration?
-An indicator in titration is a substance that changes color at a certain point during the reaction. It is used to signal the end point of the titration, which is when the reaction is nearly complete and the solution has reached a specific pH.
What is the difference between the end point and the equivalence point in titration?
-The end point is the point in a titration where the indicator changes color permanently, indicating that the reaction is complete. The equivalence point, on the other hand, is the theoretical point at which the moles of H+ ions have reacted with the same amount of OH- ions. However, in practice, we cannot directly observe the equivalence point, so we rely on the end point for our calculations.
Why is it necessary to assume that the amount of sodium hydroxide at the endpoint is equal to that at the equivalence point?
-This assumption is made because in reality, we cannot accurately determine the exact moment of the equivalence point. By assuming that the amount of sodium hydroxide used at the endpoint is equal to that at the equivalence point, we can calculate the unknown concentration of the acid (like HCl) in the titration.
What is the purpose of using an Erlenmeyer flask in titration?
-An Erlenmeyer flask is used in titration to hold the solution with the unknown concentration. It is a wide-mouthed flask that allows for easy addition of the titrant (the solution with known concentration) and observation of the color change from the indicator.
What is the purpose of filling the burette with sodium hydroxide solution up to the zero mark?
-Filling the burette up to the zero mark ensures accurate measurement and delivery of the titrant. The zero mark is the starting point from which the volume of the titrant dispensed is measured, allowing for precise control over the amount added to the solution being tested.
How is the concentration of HCl determined in the given example in the script?
-In the example provided, the concentration of HCl is determined by first writing the balanced chemical equation for the reaction between sodium hydroxide and HCl. Then, using the volume of sodium hydroxide used to reach the endpoint (33.32 mL), the moles of sodium hydroxide are calculated. From the balanced equation, these moles are converted to moles of HCl, and finally, the concentration of HCl is computed based on the volume of the HCl solution used.
What is the balanced chemical equation for the reaction between sodium hydroxide and HCl?
-The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) is: NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H2O. This equation shows that one mole of NaOH reacts with one mole of HCl to produce one mole of sodium chloride (NaCl) and water (H2O).
What is the final concentration of HCl calculated in the example provided in the script?
-In the example given in the script, after performing the titration and calculations, the concentration of HCl is found to be 0.1016 Molarity (M).

🧪 Understanding Acid-Base Titration
This paragraph introduces the concept of titration, a laboratory technique used by chemists to determine the concentration of an unknown solution. It explains that in an acid-base titration, a solution with a known concentration (like hydrochloric acid) is reacted with a solution of unknown concentration (such as sodium hydroxide) to ascertain its concentration. The process involves using an Erlenmeyer flask for the unknown solution, a buret for the known solution, and an indicator (phenolphthalein) to signal the end of the reaction. The paragraph also discusses the difference between the 'equivalence point' and the 'endpoint' in titration, with the former being the theoretical point of complete reaction and the latter being the practical point where the reaction is visually confirmed.
📚 Practical Application of Titration
This section provides a practical example of how to perform an acid-base titration. It describes the steps taken to determine the concentration of hydrochloric acid (HCl) using a known concentration of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) as the titrant. The process includes measuring out 50 milliliters of HCl, adding phenolphthalein as an indicator, and titrating with NaOH until a permanent light pink color is observed, indicating the endpoint. The paragraph also explains the theoretical assumption that the amount of NaOH at the endpoint is equal to that at the equivalence point, which is crucial for calculating the unknown concentration of HCl.
🔍 Calculating HCl Concentration
The final paragraph details the calculation process to determine the concentration of HCl. It starts by writing the balanced chemical equation for the reaction between NaOH and HCl. Using the volume of NaOH (33.32 mL) consumed to reach the endpoint, the paragraph demonstrates how to calculate the moles of NaOH and then convert this to moles of HCl. The calculation ultimately leads to the determination of the HCl concentration, which is found to be 0.1016 M. This step-by-step explanation serves as a guide for learners to understand how to apply the principles of titration to solve for unknown concentrations in chemical reactions.
