    Assumed Knowledge

    Reactions

    Oxidation is defined as the gain of oxygen, the loss of electrons, or the increase in oxidation number. (2, 3, 4) Reduction is defined as the loss of oxygen, the gain of electrons, or the decrease in oxidation number. (2, 3, 4) Oxidation and reduction are complementary processes. (2, 3, 4) When electrons are transferred in a reaction, half-equations can be written for the gain and the loss of electrons; full

    equations can be written by combining two half-equations. (2, 3, 4)

    Chemical Calculations

    The quantities of different substances can be conveniently compared by the use of the mole as a unit. (2) The molar mass of a substance can be derived by the addition of the relative atomic masses of the elements present, with

    the answer expressed in grams. (2)

    The amount of a substance (in moles) is related to the mass, m (in grams), and the molar mass, M (in g mol -1). (2) The molar concentration (or molarity), c (in mol L -1), of a solution is related to the amount of solute, n (in moles), and the

    volume of the solution, V(in litres). (2)

    The concentration of a solution can be related to the mass of solute (in grams) and the volume of the solution (in litres).(2)

    The relative amounts (in moles) of substances reacted or produced during a reaction are indicated by the coefficients inthe balanced equation for the reaction. (2)

    Given the equation for a reaction, the quantity of one reactant or product involved in a chemical reaction can be used todetermine the quantity of another. (2)

    Numerical answers are limited by the least accurate data used in the calculation. (2) Large and small quantities are more conveniently expressed by means of scientific notation. (2) Calculators frequently display scientific notation in different ways. (2) Substances vary in density, which is the mass of material per unit volume. (2)

    Purpose of titration

    As the mole ratio between the Fe2+

    and Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2.6H2O is 1:1,therefore the no. of moles of Fe2+

    can be obtained from m of the salt

    divided by molar mass of the salt.

    1. Overfill using a filler bulb or pipettefiller (above the calibration mark)

    2. Remove the pipette from the solution& wipe the tip dry with tissue.

    3. Use forefinger or the filler bulb toadjust solution level (bottom of

    meniscus) aligns with calibration

    4. Make sure no air bubbles in thepipette

    1. Hold pipette vertically & touch the tip of thepipette on the side (inner) of receiving vessel

    (usually is conical flask or volumetric flask) to

    allow smooth delivery.

    2. Let solution drain under gravity (free flow) tothe receiving vessel

    3. Hold for 10 seconds when solution has drained.4. Don't blow or shake outthe final drop in the

    pipette.

    Pipette Fillers (for practical)

    Bulb-type

    This bulb-type safety pipet filler is designed for efficient one-hand operation. It

    made from natural rubber for better resistance to chemical attack. Its three

    chemically resistant valves control the evacuation of air, liquid uptake and liquid

    dispensing. Expel air from the bulb by squeezing the A valve and the bulb at

    the same time. Draw (suck) liquid into the volumetric pipette by squeezing the

    S valve. To dispenseliquid squeeze the E valve.

    Pump-type

    This pipetting device provides an easy, precise way of filling and releasing

    liquid. By rotating the knurled thumb wheel the liquid is drawn up. The soft

    elastic chuck has a threaded collar that secures the plastic or glass pipette to

    the device. Fast releases by pressing air inlet valve button, or gradual release

    by gently turning wheel.

    Detail Explanation of rinsing procedure for Volumetric pipette

    The volumetric pipette shall first rinse with distilled water 3 times and then the solution to be placed in

    it 3 times (i.e. HCl in this case).

    When the pipette was last rinsed with distilled water concentration of NaOH will be lowered (dilution by

    distilled water in it / left over) and therefore the no. of moles of NaOH transferred into the conical flask

    will become less. With lower no. of moles of NaOH in the conical flask, lower no. of moles of HCl will be

    needed to completed the titration, i.e. lower titre value. With lower titre value, the calculated

    concentration of HCl will become lower than the actual value.

    Many chemicals are impure or without accurately supplied concentration e.g1. KOH and NaOH is hygroscopic/deliquescent i.e rapidly absorbs moisture from the

    atmosphere. Moreover, these strong bases can react with acidic oxide present in the air

    i.e. CO2

    2. Strong acids are supplied in concentrated form by manufacturers and have a variableconcentration from batch to batch.

    Therefore the amount of substance cant be calculated or obtained ACCURATELY.The amount or no. of moles of substances that can be calculated from their mass are called primary

    standard.

    Criteria for a primary standard

    Primary standards must obey the following criteria

    1. obtainable in pure form (no. of moles can be obtained)2. has a known formula (including a known degree of hydration, so the no. of moles can be

    obtained)

    3. Do not absorb moisture or other chemicals in the air i.e. stable in air. (no. of moles can beobtained)

    4. Has a reasonable high molar mass (to minimize weighing error)5. Completely soluble in the solvent (water) at room temp.

    Please note the different between Primary Standardand Standard Solution.

    Standard solution-solution with accurately known concentration

    Primary standard is used to prepare standard solution.

    For example, in practical 4, Fe2+ salt serves as a primary standard as it is used to dissolve in water tomake an accurately known concentration of solution i.e. standard solution.

    In term of Reduction Oxidation

    Oxygen - +

    Hydrogen + -Electron + -

    Oxidation no. - +

    Redox (Reduction-Oxidation) is a complementary process, means that both have to occursimultaneously.

    Oxidising agent/oxidant will be reduced and Reducing agent/reductant will be oxidized.

    Rule of oxidation number

    1. Free elements/pure metal have oxidation no. of zero, e.g. Na, Ca, K, C

    2. The oxidation no. for ions or polyatomic ions is equal to the charge on the ion e.g.

    O2

    Al3+

    OH

    Cr2O72

    MnO4

    Charge 2- 3+ 1- 2- 1-

    Oxidation no. -2 +3 -1 -2 -1

    3. The sum of oxidation no. of a compound is equal to zero, e.g. NaCl, MgO, KMnO4, K2Cr2O7

    4. Some element have oxidation no. which are regarded as fixed in the compounds such asa. Group I elements+1b. Group II elements+2c. Oxygen usually has an oxidation no. of -2 except in peroxides such as H2O2, it has -1.d. Hydrogen usually has an oxidation no. of+1except in metal hydrides such as MgH2, it

    has -1.

    3.

    Calculate thechange in total oxidation no.

    and add electrons to balance this change to

    the appropriate side.

    4.Balance the charge by adding H

    5. Balance the equation by adding H2O to theappropriate side (if necessary)

    Method 2 (easier)

    Steps Cr2O72

    Cr3+

    1.Balance the element involved in the

    oxidation or reduction

    2.Add H2O to balance the O, (if no oxygen or

    already balance, omit this step)

    3. add H+

    to balance the H

    4. Add e

    to balance the charge.

    In this reduction reaction, the oxidation number of Cr in Cr2O72

    has been reduced from +6 to +3 in Cr3+

    ion.

    Another important note is that acid-base titration is not the same with redox titration in term of

    reaction involved.

    Acid-base titrations involving neutrlisation reaction between the acid and base / alkaline.

    Whereas the redox titrations involving the reduction and oxidation reactions occur simultaneously. The

    acid used in the reaction i.e. Cr2O72-

    above is not for neutralization reaction!

    If we have an analyte that has acid-base or redox properties and is soluble but also fits into one or more

    of the following categories,

    Toxic Volatile Gaseous and in a mixture of gases Fairly unreactive - that is too weak to have clearly defined end-point.

    Then direct titration cannot be used to determine the amount of analyte. Indirect or back titration is themore suitable method.

    Indirect Titration

    Determining the concentration of an analyte by reacting it with an excess reagent. One of the product(s)

    produced is then titrated with a second reagent. The concentration of the analyte in the original solution is then

    related to the amount of reagent consumed.

    Part A: Excess amount of L is added to the system to react with the K (analyte). At the end of the reaction, K is

    fully reacted i.e. no more K in the system

    K + L

    M + NPart B: Titration is carried out to determine the amount of M produced by titrating with known concentration of

    O.

    M + O P + Q

    Sample question: Redox titration Q29.

    Back Titration

    Determining the concentration of an analyte by reacting it with an accurately known number of moles ofexcess

    reagent. The unreacted excess reagent left over is then titrated with a second reagent. The concentration of the

    analyte in the original solution is then related to the amount of reagent consumed.

    Part A: Excess amount and accurately known amount of NaOH is added to the system to react with the CH3COOH

    (analyte) . At the end of the reaction, CH3COOH is fully reacted i.e. no more CH3COOH in the system.
