  • (I) Determination of the Equivalent Weight and Pka of an Organic Acid
    Experiment 4 (i) Determination of the Equivalent Weight and pKa of an Organic Acid Discussion This experiment is an example of a common research procedure. Chemists often use two or more analytical techniques to study the same system. These experiments can give complementary qualitative and quantitative information concerning an unknown substance. I. Titration of Acids and Bases in Aqueous Solutions The almost instantaneous reaction between acids and bases in aqueous solution produce changes in pH which one can monitor. Two techniques are useful for detecting the equivalence point: (1) colorimetry, using an acid-base color indicator - a dye which undergoes a sharp change in color in a region of pH covering the equivalence point and (2) potentiometry, using a potentiometer (pH meter) to record the sharp change at the equivalence point in the potential difference between an electrode (usually a glass electrode) and the solution whose pH is undergoing change as a result of the addition of acid or base. For example, in the case of the titration of a weak monoprotic acid HA using sodium hydroxide solution we may write: + - NaOH + HA → Na + A + H2O (4.1) Applying the law of mass action to the ionization equilibrium for the weak acid in water: + - HA + H2O H3O + A (4.2) we may write (in dilute solutions [H2O] is essentially constant) [H O+ ][A − ] 3 = K (4.3) [HA] a where Ka is the acid ionization constant (constant at any given temperature). This expression is valid for + - all aqueous solutions containing hydronium ions (H3O ), A ions, and the un-ionized molecules HA.

  • Determination of the Equivalent Weight and the Ka Or Kb for a Weak Acid Or Base INTRODUCTION Chemists Frequently Make Use of the Equivalent Weight (Eq
    Determination of the Equivalent Weight and the Ka or Kb for a Weak Acid or Base INTRODUCTION Chemists frequently make use of the equivalent weight (eq. wt.) as the basis for volumetric calculations. The meaning of equivalent weight can change depending upon the type of reaction which serves as the basis for analysis, i.e., neutralization, oxidation-reduction, precipitation, or complex formation. Furthermore, it should be noted that the chemical behavior of a substance must be carefully specified if its equivalent weight is to be unambiguously defined. The equivalent weight of a substance involved in a neutralization (acid/base) reaction is defined as that weight which reacts with or contributes 1 gram formula weight of hydrogen ion in that reaction. This is discussed at some length in your textbook. In this experiment, you will be given a compound which is either a pure weak acid or a pure weak base. You are asked to determine the nature of the substance (i.e. is it an acid or a base?), its equivalent weight, and its dissociation constant. If possible, using the values you obtain and the CRC Handbook, identify your compound. REAGENTS Ethanol, phenolphthalein and methyl red indicators are provided for you. PROCEDURE 1. Obtain your unknown weak acid or base, and dry it as instructed to do so if it is a solid. 2. To determine the nature of your compound: Dissolve a small amount of your unknown in water. If you find your unknown to be rather insoluble in water, try heating the solution. If this also proves unsuccessful, you will need to switch to a 10% ethanol/water mixture.

  • Molecular Mass and Gram-Molecule of a Substance
    STOICHIOMETRY ATOMIC MASSS The atomic mass of an element is defined as the average relative mass of an atom of the element as compared to the mass of a carbon atom, which is taken as 12. Therefore, the atomic mass of an element shows the number of times an atom of the element is heavier than 1/12th of the mass of a carbon atom (C12). For example, the atomic mass of an oxygen atom is 16 a.m.u (atomic mass unit) and that of a hydrogen atom is 1.008 a.m.u. Atomic mass unit—abbreviated as a.m.u—is defined as the quantity of mass of an atom equal to 1/12 of the mass of a carbon atom. By convention, the atomic mass of a carbon atom is 12 a.m.u. One mole of carbon signifies 6.023 1023 atoms of carbon, and a mass of 12.000 g. Therefore, the mass of a carbon atom can be calculated as follows: 24 12.00/6.023 1023 g or 1 a.m.u. = = = 1.66 10 G Gram-atomic mass of an element is the atomic mass of the element expressed in grams. It is also known as gram atom. For example, 16 g of oxygen is equal to 1 gram-atom of oxygen or 14 g of nitrogen is equal to 1 gram-atom of nitrogen. Gram-atom can be calculated as shown below: Gram atom = Molecular Mass and Gram-Molecule of a Substance Molecular mass of a compound is defined as the average mass per molecule of natural isotopic composition of the compound.

  • Faraday's Electrochemical Laws and the Determination of Equivalent Weights'
    0 FARADAY'S ELECTROCHEMICAL LAWS AND THE DETERMINATION OF EQUIVALENT WEIGHTS' ROSEMARY GENE EHL and AARON. J. IHDE University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin t,hat the great experimental genius of Berzelius is especially well illustrated. He devoted ten years of his life to the determination of over 2000 combining weights of elements. With relatively crude balances, impure chemicals, and very little equipment at his disposal, Berzelius labored at this gigantic task under conditions which most present-day chemists would describe as completely unbearable. Yet his results were excellent and his equivalent weights are not far removed from modern values. During his lifetime a uniquely simple and accurate method of determining equivalent weights became available to Berzelius. In January, 1834, Michael Faraday announced the discovery of the electrochemi- cal laws. Subsequent researches led him to the in- vestigation of the electrochemical equivalents of several elements and finally to the conclusion that the electrochemical equivalents are identical with the ordi- nary chemical equivalents. Here was a method devoid of the endless and tedious precipitations, filtrations, and weighing6 of the purely chemical procedures used by Berzelius. Here, too, was a method supported by what proved to be one of the most accurate laws known to science. It is strange that Berzelius did not grasp at this approach, if not to replace his chemical methods, at least to provide a check on them. He was not un- familiar with electrochemical manipulations, for he was an expert in the field, having begun his brilliant scien- tific career with investigations on the effects of the voltaic pile soon after its development in 1800.
