Acids and Bases
There are several definitions for an acid and a base. An Arrhenius acid is a
substance that produces H+ ions in water solution, and an Arrhenius base is a
substance that produces OH- ions in water solution. A Brønsted acid is a proton
donor, and a Brønsted base is a proton acceptor. A Brønsted acid-base reaction is a
proton transfer reaction.
A strong acid dissociates in water solution almost completely into H+ (aq) ions
and anions characteristic of the acid. A strong base is completely dissociated into
OH-(aq) ions and cations characteristic of the base. Common strong acids include
hydrochloric acid, HCl; nitric acid, HNO3; and sulfuric acid, H2SO4. The hydroxides
of the alkali metals and of the alkaline earth metals are strong bases.
Weak acids and bases ionize only to a small extent in water solution. Common
weak acids include acetic acid, HC2H3O2, and nitrous acid, HNO2. Phosphoric acid,
H3PO4, is a moderately weak acid. The most common weak base found in most
laboratories is aqueous ammonia, NH3(aq).
Acid-Base Titration
Acid-base reactions, or neutralization reactions, are commonly used to
determine the concentrations of acids (or bases) in solutions. If the concentration
and volume of one of the reactants in a neutralization reaction is known, the
concentration of the second solution can be determined if its volume is known. This
procedure requires the measurement of volumes, and is therefore called volumetric
analysis.
Let us how volumetric analysis is used to determine the concentration of an
acid solution using a base of known concentration. The base solution is added slowly
from a buret to a measured volume of the acid solution until all of the acid is
neutralized. The point at which neutralization occurs is usually detected by the
change in color of an organic dye such as litmus or phenolphthalein, which has one
color in acidic solution and a different color in basic solution. The organic dye used
for this purpose is called an indicator. This type of volumetric analysis is known as
titration. Figure 1 illustrates a setup for an acid-base titration.
Fig 1. A setup for an acid-base titration
The procedure we just described, in which the concentration of one solution
is determined by titration with another solution of known concentration, is called
standardization. In a standardization procedure, the solution whose concentration is
accurately known is called a standard solution.
Let us consider the standardization of a sodium hydroxide solution with a
standard hydrochloric acid solution. An accurately measured volume of the standard
hydrochloric acid solution is delivered with a pipet into a conical flask called an
Erlenmeyer flask (Fig. 3.). A few drops of an indicator solution are also added to the
flask. The sodium hydroxide solution is then slowly added from a buret into the acid
solution, with swirling, until just enough of the base is added to neutralize the acid.
This point is called the neutralization point or the equivalence point. The indicator
changes color at or very near the neutralization point and signals the endpoint for
the titration.
In the titration just described, the volume of the NaOH solution used in the
titration is measured as the difference between the final and initial buret readings of
the liquid level in the buret. From the volume and the molarity of the standard HCl
solution, we can calculate the number of moles of HCl present by use of the equation
(volume of HCl in liters)(M HCl) = number of moles HCl
The number of moles of HCl is also the number of moles of NaOH used in the
titration because HCl and NaOH react in a 1:1 mole ratio. The molarity of NaOH is
the number of moles of NaOH divided by the volume of NaOH solution in liters:
M NaOH = litersin solution NaOH volume
NaOH moles ofnumber
Example 1.
A 25,00-mL sample of 0,1208 M standard HCl solution is titrated with
28,52mL of NaOH solution to the endpoint. What is the molarity of the NaOH
solution?
Solution: We convert the volume of HCl in milliliters to liters by moving the
decimal point three places to the left to obtain 0,02500 L. The number of moles of
HCl is the volume of the solution (soln) in liters times the molarity:
0,02500 L soln )soln 1L
HCl mol 0,1208( = 3,020∙10-3 mol HCl
At the equivalence point of the titration, the number of moles of HCl equals
the number of moles of NaOH because HCl reacts with NaOH in 1:1 mole ratio, as
we see from the balanced equation for the titration reaction:
HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)
Therefore, the number of moles HCl = the number of moles NaOH = 3,020∙10-
3 mol. The volume of NaOH used in the titration is 28,52 mL or 0,02852L. The
molarity of NaOH is the number of moles of NaOH divided by its volume in liters:
М soln = soln NaOH L 0,02852
NaOH mol103,020 3 = 0,1059 mlo L-1 or 0,1059 M
The steps outlined above can be carried out on a calculator in a single
multistep operation:

NaOH mol 1)(
soln L 1
HCl mol 0,1208soln( L 0,02500
= 0,1059 mol L-1 or 0,1059 M.
In a titration, 50.00 mL of 0,1204 M hydrochloric acid requires 48,54 mL of
sodium hydroxide solution for neutralization. What is the molarity of the sodium
hydroxide solution?
In Example 1, the acid and base react in a 1:1 mole ratio. But a complete
neutralization of 1 mol of a polyprotic acid requires more than 1 mol of sodium
hydroxide. For example, the complete neutralization of 1 mol of sulfuric acid, a
diprotic acid, requires 2 mol of sodium hydroxide:
H2SO4(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → Na2SO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)
Similarly, the complete neutralization of 1 mol of phosphoric acid, a triprotic
acid, requires 3 mol of sodium hydroxide:
H3PO4(aq) + 3NaOH(aq) → Na3PO4(aq) + 3H2O(l)
When an acid-base titration is carried out using a standard solution of NaOH
to neutralize a polyprotic acid, the calculations resemble those outlined in Example
1. The only difference is in conversion of the number of moles of the base to the
number of moles of the acid. The conversion factor is the acid/base mole ratio given
by the balanced equation for the reaction, as shown by Example 2.
Example 2.
Sulfuric acid is sold by chemical supply houses in an approximately 18M
solution. In an experiment, the 18M stock solution is diluted to approximately 0,3M.
A 25,00-mL aliquot (or portion) of this diluted solution of sulfuric acid requires
32,58 mL of 0,5000M sodium hydroxide for a complete neutralization. What is the
molarity of the sulfuric acid solution?
Solution: We follow the general method outlined in Example 1. The only
difference is in the conversion of the number of moles of base to the number of moles
of acid. From the balanced equation for the reaction we see that 1 mol of the acid
reacts with 2 mol of the base:
H2SO4(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → Na2SO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)
Thus, the molarity of H2SO4 solution can be obtained by the following
multistep operation:

Practice Problem 1.: (a) How many milliliters of 0,2056 M sodium hydroxide
is required to completely neutralize 25,00 mL of 0,1000 M phosphoric acid solution?
(b) How many milliliters of 0,600 M H3PO4 is completely neutralized by 37,0 g of
solid KOH?
Practice Problem 2.: Hydrochloric acid is an ingredient of gastric juice is
neutralized with 15,72 mL of 0,04209 M barium hydroxide solution. What is the
molarity of hydrochloric acid in gastric juice? How many milliliters of 0,06800M
barium hydroxide solution would be required to neutralize all the hydrochloric acid
in the same sample of gastric juice?
Volumetric analysis is a method in which strength of an unknown solution
(solution containing the substance, the amount of which is to be determined) is
determined with the help of a standard solution (solution containing a known amount
of a substance). Thus, we know the volumes of the two solutions and strength of the
standard solution, so the strength of the unknown solution can be calculated with the
help of the equation N1V1 = N2V2. This process is called titration. The end-point in
this process is seen with the help of an indicator, an another substance.
Volumetric analysis are of different types e.g. (i) acid –alkali, (ii) redox, (iii)
iodometry and iodimetry, (iv) precipitation titrations etc.
The following terms are used in volumetric calculations:
(i) Normal solution (N): A normal solution of a substance may be defined as,
«the solution which contains one equivalent mass of a substance per litre».
It is shown by symbol «N». Similarly a solution containing ½ equivalent of a
substance per litre is indicated as N/2. When the equivalents of the substance per
litre are 1/5, 1/10, 1/20, 1/100 etc. they are indicated as N/5, N/10, N/20, N/100 etc.
respectively. These factors indicate normality of the solution.
(ii) Standard solution: A standard solution is a solution of definite
concentration, the strength of which is known to us. The strength of the solution is
generally expressed in terms of normality.
(iii) Equivalent mass: Gram equivalent mass of a substance is that mass in
grams which is chemically equivalent to 1,008 g of hydrogen, 8 g of oxygen or 35,46
g of chlorine.
(a) Equivalent mass of an acid:
Equivalent mass of an acid is that mass which is obtained by dividing its
molecular mass by the number of replaceable hydrogen atoms present in one
molecule of acid.
i.e. Equivalent mass of an acid

acid of mass Mol.
i.e. Eq. mass of acid = Basicity
Mol.mass
Thus Eq. mass of H2SO4 = 98/2 = 49.
(b) Equivalent mass of base:
Equivalent mass of a base is that mass which neutralizes completely one
equivalent mass of the acid.
i.e. HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O
36,5 40
Here, one equivalent mass (36,5 g) of HCl reacts completely with 40 grams
of NaOH hence equivalent mass of NaOH is 40.
The basicity of some acids and acidity of some bases are given in the
following table:
Acid Basicity Base Acidity
HCl 1 NaOH 1
HNO3 1 KOH 1
CH3COOH 1 NH4OH 1
H2SO4 2 Ba(OH)2 2
H2C2O4∙2H2O 2 Ca(OH)2 2
H3PO3 2
H3PO4 3
Acid-base titrations: When the strength of an acid is determined with the
help of a standard solution of base, it is known as acidimetry. Similarly, when the
strength of a base (alkali) is determined with the help of a standard solution of an
acid, it is known as alkalimetry. Both these titrations involve neutralization of an
acid with an alkali. In these titrations H+ ions of the acid combine with OH- ions of
the alkali to form ionized molecules of water.
HA + BOH → BA + H2O
Acid Alkali Salt Water
or H+ + A- + B+ + OH- → B+ + A- + H2O
or H+ + OH- → H2O
The end point in these titrations is determined by the use of organic dyes
which are either weak acids or weak bases. These change their colours within a
limited range of hydrogen ion concentrations, i.e., pH of the solution.
Phenolphthalein is a suitable indicator in the titrations of strong alkalies (free from
carbonate) against strong acids or weak acids. Methyl orange is used as an indicator
in the titrations of strong acids against strong and weak alkalies. As no indicator
gives correct results in the titrations of weak acids against weak bases, such titrations
are performed by some other methods (physical methods).
Acid-base indicators
An acid-base indicator is an organic dye that signals the end-point by
a visual change in colour. Phenolphthalein and methyl orange are two common examples of acid-
base indicators. Phenolphthalein is pink in base solution and colourless in acid
solution. Thus when added to the acid solution in the receiver flask, it shows no
colour. As the added base is in slight excess, it becomes pink. Thus phenolphthalein
signals the end-point by a colour change from colourless to pink.. Similarly methyl
orange indicates the end-point by a colour change from red (in acid) to yellow (in
base).
pH range of indicators
Most indicators do not change colour at a particular pH. They do so over a
range of pH from two to three units. This is called the pH range which is different
for various indicators.
pH ranges of some acid-base indicators
pH curves and Indicator range
During an acid-base titration the pH of the solution in the receiver flask changes
with the addition of the titrant from the burette. A plot of pH against the volume of
the solution being added is known as pH curve or titration curve. For illustration,
the pH curve produced by titration of HC1 solution with NaOH solution is shown in
Fig. As NaOH is added, the pH of the solution increases slowly at first, then rapidly
in the vicinity of the equivalence point and again slowly. The equivalence point lies
in the middle of the vertical portion of the curve (pH = 7). It must be clearly
understood that equivalence point is the theoretical end-point of a titration. The end-
point of a titration determined by a colour change of the indicator in titration solution
is the experimental estimate of the equivalence point.
Fig.2. pH curve for titration of a strong Fig. 3 Indicator ranges for phenolphthalein,
base with strong acid. litmus, and methyl orange.
The titration curve in Fig.2 shows that it remains vertical around the
equivalence point. From a study of this part of the curve, it is evident that the volume
of litre used at the experimental end - point will be very nearly the same as for the
equivalence point provided that: the indicator used has a small pH range and the
range wholly falls on the vertical portion of the curve.
Thus, a suitable indicator for a given titration may be defined as one which
has as narrow a pH range as possible that lies entirely on the upright part of the

Phenolphthalein Colourless-pink 8.3-10.0
titration curve. For example, as shown in Fig.3, phenolphthalein, litmus and methyl
orange may be used as indicators for acid-base titrations.
Сhoice of a suitable indicator
The choice of a suitable indicator for a particular acid-base titration depends
on the nature of the acid and the base involved in the titration. We may have the
titration of:
(a) a strong acid with a strong base
(b) a weak acid with a strong base
(c) a strong acid with a weak base
(d) a weak acid with weak base
Which indicator is suitable for a given titration, can be found by examining
the titration curve of that titration. We have already discussed that a suitable indicator
is one which has a small pH range that falls wholly on the upright portion of the
titration curve.
All the pH curves given in Fig.6 refer to addition of 0.1 M monoacid base to
25 ml of 0.1 M of monobasic acid. The equivalence point in all cases is at pH 7
when all the acid has been neutralized by the base to form a salt. If the titration is
performed so that acid is added to the base, the pH curve is the mirror image of that
shown.
Titrating a strong acid with a strong base Figure 4 (a) depicts the titration curve when NaOH is added gradually to HC1.
It shows that the pH of the titration solution rises extremely slowly in the beginning.
In the vicinity of the equivalence point, the pH rises dramatically and the curve
becomes vertical. Beyond this, the curve becomes almost flat that shows a slight rise
of pH when only excess base is present in the titration solution.
Fig.4. To find a suitable indicator from a study of the pH curves for: (a) a strong acid
and strong base; (b) weak acid and strong base; (c) strong acid and weak base;
(d) a weak acid and weak base.
The vertical portion of the curve extends from pH 3 to pH 7. The pH ranges
of methyl orange (3.1 - 4.4), and phenolphthalein (8.30 - 10.0) are fairly narrow and
fall on the vertical curve. Thus both methyl orange and phenolphthalein are
suitable indicators for strong acid/strong base titrations. Litmus with an
exceptionally wide pH range (4.5-8.3) is seldom used. Its colour does no; change
sharply from red to blue but goes through various shades of purple. Titrating a
Weak acid with a Strong base Figure 6 (b) represents the titration curve when NaOH (strong base) is added
to acetic acid (weak acid). The pH curve rises slowly in the beginning but near the
equilibrium point, the pH changes from 6 to 11 and the curve becomes vertical.
Beyond this the shape of the titration curve is similar to that for strong acid/strong
base.
Phenolphthalein has pH range 8.3-10.0 that falls on the vertical part of the
titration curve as marked in the figure. The pH range of methyl orange (3.1-4.4), on
the other hand, does not fall on the vertical curve. Thus if methyl orange is used as
indicator, the experimental end-point will be reached earlier than the equivalence
point. Therefore for weak acid-strong base titration phenolphthalein is a suitable
indicator, while methyl orange is not.
Titrating a strong acid with a weak base
The titration curve for HC1 (strong acid) with NH4OH (weak base) is shown in
Fig.4 (c). As NH4OH is added, the pH of the titration solution increases gradually.
Around the equivalence point, a sharp rise in pH occurs approximately from 3 to 8,
when the curve becomes vertical. The pH range of methyl orange (3.1-4.4) and that
of methyl red (4.4-6.0) falls on the vertical portion of the titration curve. Evidently,
methyl orange and methyl red are suitable indicators for strong acid/weak base
titrations.
Titrating a weak acid with a weak base The titration curve for acetic acid (weak acid) with NH4OH (weak base) is
shown in Fig.4 (d). The pH of the titration solution rises gradually and there is no
sharp change in pH around the equivalence point. The vertical portion is missing in
the titration curve. Under these conditions, all indicators change colour only
gradually and no indicator is suitable.
THEORIES OF ACID-BASE INDICATORS
An acid-base indicator is an organic substance used for the detection of
equivalence point or neutral point in an acid-base titration. An indicator has one
colour in acid solution and entirely different in basic solution. The end-point of the
titration is shown by a colour change of the indicator. Two theories have been put
forward to explain the indicator action in acid-base titrations:
(1) The Ostwald's theory
(2) The Quinonoid theory
We will discuss these with reference to two commonly used indicators,
namely, methyl orange and phenolphthalein. The Ostwald's theory According to
this theory:
(1) an acid-base indicator is a weak organic acid (HIn) or a weak organic base
(InOH), where the letter In stands for a complex organic group. Methyl orange
and phenolphthalein are both weak acids.
(2) the ionized indicator, HIn, has a colour different from the In- ions produced by
the ionization of the indicator in aqueous solution.
(3)the degree of ionization of the indicator determines the visible colour of the
indicator solution.
How an acid-base indicator works
Let us explain the indicator action by taking example of methyl orange. Methyl
orange is a weak acid and gives the following ionization equilibrium in solution.
HIn ↔ H+ + In-
red yellow
In accordance with the law of mass action,
[HIn]
]][In[HK in
where Kin is the dissociation constant of the indicator and is called the Indicator
constant. The anion In- is yellow and the unionized form HIn is red. If an acid is added
to the solution, the hydrogen ion concentration, [H+], in the equilibrium expression
(1) increases. To maintain Kiu constant, the equilibrium shifts to the left. Thereby the
concentration of [In-] is reduced and the concentration of [HIn] increases so that the
solution is red. On the other hand, upon addition of a base to the solution, H+ ions
are removed as H2O by reacting with OH- ions of the base. This shifts the equilibrium
to the right, resulting in the increase of In- ions that are yellow. Thus in acid solution
the unionized HIn molecules predominate and the solution is pink, while in basic
solution In- ions are in excess and the solution is yellow.
Relation of Indicator colour to pH
The indicator solution contains both the yellow In- and the red HIn molecules.
The actual colour shade of the indicator depends on the ratio of concentrations of In-
and HIn present in solution. From the equilibrium constant expression we can write
][
][
HIn
InKH in
If [H+] is large, the concentration of In- ions is also large and the colour is yellow.
When [H+] is small, [HIn] is large and the solution is red. At the equivalence point,
[In-] = [HIn] and the colour is orange (red + yellow). Obviously the indicator colour
is controlled by hydrogen ion concentration or pH of the solution.
Taking logarithms and using definition of pH and Kin, the expression can be
converted to the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.
][
][log
HIn
InpKpH in
At the equivalence point, [In-] = [HIn] and methyl orange in solution is orange. Then,
inpKpH
The numerical value of the indicator constant Kin for methyl orange is 3.6 and the pH
of the orange solution is, therefore, about 4. As the values of Kin for the various
indicators are different, they will have intermediate intense colours (middle tint) at
different pH values. When a base is added to an acid solution in a titration, the
colour change of the indicator is gradual. It just becomes visible to the human eye
when [In-]/[HIn] = 1/10 and pH calculated from equation. The colour of the
indicator continues to change till [In-]/[HIn] = 10 when pH is 4.4. The pH range
between 3.1(red) and 4.4(yellow) is called the colour change interval of methyl
orange. The visible indicator colour change takes place between these pH values.
Indicator action of phenolphthalein
It can be explained as in case of methyl orange. It is a weak acid and exists
as the following equilibrium in solution,
HIn ↔ H+ + In- colourless pink
HIn molecules are colourless, while In- ions are pink. Thus in acid solution,
phenolphthalein is colourless and in basic solution it is pink. The value of Kin = 9.6
and the pH of the intermediate intense pink tint is also 9.6. The colour change
interval of phenolphthalein is 8.1 -10.0.
Quinonoid theory of Indicator colour change
The Ostwald's theory takes care of the quantitative aspect of indicator action
adequately. The Quinonoid theory, on the other hand, tells us the cause of colour
change of an indicator in acid-base solutions. It lays down that:
(1) the unionised HIn molecule and the anion In- are tautomeric forms of the
indicator which isan organic dye.
(2) one tautomeric form possesses the quinonoid structural unit and is called the
quinonoid form.
It has a deep colour. The other form has a lesser colouring group, say, -N=N- and
or simply benzene rings and is called the benzenoid form. This form has a light
colour or no colour.
(3) the colour change of the indicator occurs when one tautomeric form is
transformed into the other due to change of pH of the solution.
Let us illustrate the Quinonoid theory by taking example of methyl orange and
phenolphthalein.
Methyl Orange. The red quinonoid form of methyl orange exists in acid
solution. It is converted to yellow benzenoid form when pH alters to the basic side.
Phenolphthalein. Phenolphthalein exists in two tautomeric forms: (i) the
benzenoid form which is yellow and present in basic solution; and (ii) the quinonoid
form which is pink and present in acid solution.

three significant digits)
Performance of experiment. Before a cut-in familiarize with the device
analytical balance with the instructions on their operation. Prepare a measuring flask
and dry funnel. Calculate mass of a shot of a sodium tetraborate necessary for
preparation of a given solution. The designed shot of a sodium tetraborate weigh on
counter balance. As container use test tube. For record of results of weighing on
analytical balance in a laboratory magazine beforehand prepare under the shape the
following records:
Mass test tube with Na2B4O7 • 10H2O … … ….
Mass test tube with oddments of substance … … ….
———————————————————
Mass of Na2B4O7 • 10H2O … … … … ….
Then test tube with a shot weigh on analytical balance. On a scale pan at once
establish a load relevant to result of prestress weighing. Write down the indications
of analytical balance and, having taken off test tube from a scale pan, is cautious add
a shot through a dry funnel in a measuring flask. Test tube cant above slowly by
funnel and do not suppose a diffusion and pulverization of substance. Test tube with
oddments of substance on walls immediately again weigh on analytical balance and
write down result. After that take off from weights all load and close doors.
Add heat distilled water in a test tube. A flask charge with distilled water
approximately on 2/3 volumes, dissolve all substance, cool a solution up to ambient
temperature and add by distilled water up to a score. Intermix a solution in a flask.
A flask close by a fuse and paste a label with the name of a solution and surname.
Experiment 2. An establishment of precise concentration of a hydrochloric
acid on a reference solution of a sodium tetraborate
Performance of experiment. Prepare ware necessary for carrying out of the
titrimetric analysis. A burette, pipet and flasks wash by distilled water. A laboratory

The solution becomes yellow. Assay in a flask titrate by a solution HCl before
transferring colouring in light pink. (Sometimes for rising accuracy of titration will
use a flask - "witness". The witness plot, measuring off in a flask 5,0mls of water, 1
drop of an acid and 1 drop of the indicator. Assay titrate before occurrence of the
same colouring, as in a flask - "witness"). The pink colouring in an endpoint of
titration means presence in a flask of excess of an acid about 1 drop. (Therefore in
separate experience it is necessary to spot volume of one drop of a solution for a
sectional burette). Having concluded titration, wash a flask usual, and then distilled
