Primary Standard

Improved Essays
1) Primary standard: primary standard is a highly pure compound which is a reference for identifying the concentration of a known compound in titration.
Titrant: in titration; titrant is a solution whose concentration is known. When there is an unknown solution (analyte), titrant is used for identifying the concentration of that unknown by adding titrant to analyte. (using burette)
Acidbase indicator: acid- base indicator is an indicator that determines the pH of a solution by changing its color due to H+ ion concentrations inside the solution.
Indicator range: acid- base indicators change their colors when pH changes. However, they are useful in a specific pH interval. pH of a solution cannot be determined if pH is out of the interval of

Titration curve: titration curve is a curve that shows how the pH changes when the titrant is being added.
Buffer solution: buffer solution is simply a mixture that contains either a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid. It is used for keeping the pH constant in a solution.
Standardization: If there is an unknown solution, titration which is used for identifying the concentration of a known solution to find out the unknown solution’s concentration is called standardization.

2) Necessaries for a good primary standard are that, it should have a purity at a high level, it should have an atmospheric stability, it should not be hygroscopic in order to reduce the error caused by humidity, it should not be expensive, it should be relatively soluble in titration medium and it should have relatively large molar mass in order to reduce error caused by measuring the

Equivalence point is a point where the amount of titrant and the analyte are equal. It means that reaction has finished and adding extra titrant will not make the indicator change its color. Equivalence point in a titration may be more than one. (for example: polyprotic acids and bases)

7) First reason is that, just because titration is a neutralization; strong acids or strong bases are commonly used as titrants. The second reason is that; in order to use a compound as a titrant, the exact concentration of that compound must be known. Since exact concentration of a weak acid is hard to obtain, weak acids are not usually used as titrants.

8) In concentrated solutions; titration curve has an S shape, meaning that a few drops of titrate causes a huge increase in pH and makes it very hard to obtain specific pH areas. In diluted solutions; the part below the equivalence point is smooth, meaning that specific pH areas can be obtained such as buffer zone, which is a mixture of weak acid or base, and its conjugate occurs in

    The pH of a buffer is determined by the ratio of unprotonated and protonated species, as described by the Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation: Since buffer in its buffering region contains both unprotonated and protonated species that can accept and donate protons, respectively, it resists sudden change in concentration of protons accompanying with the addition of certain amount of strong acid or base depending on the buffer capacity. Generally, the best buffer region is at pH = pKa ± 1 (BCH370 Lab Manual, 2015 Fall). Above all, the goal of this lab is to understand how pH is changed relative to pKa in real life…

Some examples of isotopes are Protium, Deuterium, and Tritium, which are all Hydrogen atoms. Instead of the zero neutrons Hydrogen has in its Protium form, Deuterium and Tritium have two and three neutrons respectively. This change in neutron number and therefore atomic weight classify these atoms as isotopes of the element Hydrogen.…

    The purpose of this lab was to measure the exact mass of a primary standard, to find the precise number of moles of potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP) included to the reaction, the molarity of NaOH at the equivalence point, the molarity of an aqueous solution containing NaOH, as well as how much volume was needed to get to the equivalence point specified by the end point. The first step in this experiment was to prepare a solution of NaOH with an unknown molar concentration. Then, determine the concentration of the NaOH by titration, using KHP which has a known concentration and is considered a primary standard. during this experiment, Phenolphthalein was found to be the best indicator for the titration of vinegar with NaOH, due to it having…

This can be identified through the colour change to measure pH behaviour in several aqueous solutions, therefore the different factors that will cause the change of pH. This will gain understanding of how this relates to the biological studies of biology and to the advantage of humans. Hydrochloric acid combined with water will not a make good buffer system.

    It is important to note that the goal of this experiment was to find the pKa value of bromothymol blue, a pH indicator commonly used in titrations. [UNC, 2017] The pKa is where the number of moles of acid to conjugated base are equivalent. To find this, both Beer’s Law and spectroscopy were utilized in an attempt to make graphs to show just where this value occurred. According to Sigma-Aldrich, the pKa of bromothymol blue is approximately 7.10.…

    The conditions from the trypsin and biorad must remain the same throughout the experiment. Other suggestions include making dilutions from the original fractions and not from a separate test tube as that introduces new variables to the mix such as an uneven distribution of trypsin when making dilutions in a new tube. This experiment further dove into the multiple application of affinity chromatography such as examining the biological interactions of antigens, hormones and other elements. One example of this use is by Dr. Chi Zhang to purify antibodies. Antibodies have multiple uses especially in the medical field.…

    All living systems contain buffer solutions to sustain the structure and activity of biological components such as DNA, RNA, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. Buffer solutions are remarkably resistant to pH changes and generally consist of a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid. In the laboratory, artificially made buffers are often used to help maintain a biological system at the proper pH. A laboratory buffer should be inert in the system being studied. For example, Tris buffer is unsuitable for some protein assays because it reacts with the assay components.…
