    1.1 13 Titrations

    By the end of this spread, you should be

    able to . . .

    ✱ Perform acid–base titrations, and ca

    rry out structured calculations.

    Acid–base titrations

    During volumetric analysis, you

    measure the volume of one so

    lution that reacts with a

    measured volume of a second

    , different solution.

    An acid–base titration is a spe

    cial type of volumetric analysis

    , in which you react a

    solution of an acid with a solut

    ion of a base.

    • You must know the concen

    tration of one of the two soluti

    ons. This is usually a

    standard solution (see spread

    1.1.7).

    • In the analysis, you use this

    standard solution to find out u

    nknown information about

    the substancedissolved in the

    second solution.

    The unknown information may

    be:

    • the concentration of the sol

    ution

    • a molar mass

    • a formula

    • the numberof molecules of

    water of crystallisation.

    You carry out atitration as follo

    ws.

    • Using a pipette, you add a m

    easured volume of one solutio

    n to a conical flask.

    • The other solution is placed

    in a burette.

    • The solutionin the burette is

    added to the solution in the c

    onical flask until the reaction

    has just been completed. This

    is called the end point of the t

    itration. The volume of the

    solution addedfrom the burett

    e is measured.

    You now knowthe volume of o

    ne solution that exactly reacts

    with the volumeof the

    other solution.

    We identify theend point using

    an indicator.

    • The indicator must be a diff

    erent colour inthe acidic solut

    ion than in thebasic solution.

    Table 1 lists thecolours of som

    e common acid–base indicator

    s. It also showsthe colour

    at the end point. Notice that th

    is end point colour is in betwe

    en the coloursin the acidic

    and basic solutions.

    to

    base, the titration is complete when

    the solution goes colourless.

    In AS chemistry, any calculatio

    1.1 13 Titrations

    By the end of this spread, you should be

    able to . . .

    ✱ Perform acid–base titrations, and ca

    rry out structured calculations.

    Acid–base titrations

    During volumetric analysis, you

    measure the volume of one so

    lution that reacts with a

    measured volume of a second

    , different solution.

    An acid–base titration is a spe

    cial type of volumetric analysis

    , in which you react a

    solution of an acid with a solut

    ion of a base.

    • You must know the concen

    tration of one of the two soluti

    ons. This is usually a

    standard solution (see spread

    1.1.7).

    • In the analysis, you use this

    standard solution to find out u

    nknown information about

    the substancedissolved in the

    second solution.

    The unknown information may

    be:

    • the concentration of the sol

    ution

    • a molar mass

    • a formula

    • the numberof molecules of

    water of crystallisation.

    You carry out atitration as follo

    ws.

    • Using a pipette, you add a m

    easured volume of one solutio

    n to a conical flask.

    • The other solution is placed

    in a burette.

    • The solutionin the burette is

    added to the solution in the c

    onical flask until the reaction

    has just been completed. This

    is called the end point of the t

    itration. The volume of the

    solution addedfrom the burett

    e is measured.

    You now knowthe volume of o

    ne solution that exactly reacts

    with the volumeof the

    other solution.

    We identify theend point using

    an indicator.

    • The indicator must be a diff

    erent colour inthe acidic solut

    ion than in thebasic solution.

    Table 1 lists thecolours of som

    e common acid–base indicator

    s. It also showsthe colour

    at the end point. Notice that th

    is end point colour is in betwe

    en the coloursin the acidic

    and basic solutions.

    to

    base, the titration is complete when

    the solution goes colourless.

    H2O

    The oxygen atom has four pairs

    of electrons, so these will take

    up a basically tetrahedral

    shape. But two of the electron

    pairs are lone pairs, so the shar

    ed pairs are repelled more

    than in NH3, and the bond angl

    e in H2O is less than in NH3. Th

    e final bond angle is

    104.5°. The final shape of the m

    olecule is described as non-line

    WOrked exaMple

    To work out the shape of an ion

    , for example H3O+:

    STep 1 There are two ways to

    approach this

    problem.

    either draw a dot-and-c

    ross diagram of the

    molecule (see diagram opposite

    );

    or count up the numbe

    r of electrons at the

    central atom.

    STep 2 See what shape the ele

    ctron pairs will adopt. They wil

    l be arranged

    tetrahedrally because there are

    four pairs of electrons.

    STep 3 Now see if there are an

    y lone pairs. Yes, one lone pair.

    STep 4 Electron-pair repulsion

    theory tells you that the lone p

    air will repel the

    bonding pairs a little more stro

    ngly than they repel each other

    , and the

    molecule should have the sam

    e shape and bond angle as NH3.

    QUICk CHeCk QUeSTIONS ?We know the different shapes of molecules by worki

    ng out how the electron pairs

    arrange themselves in space. Th

    e rules of electron-pair repulsio

    n theory tell us that:

    electron pairs repel each other s

    o they are as far apart as possib

    le

    an electron pair shared betwee

    n two atoms is called a bondin

    g pair (BP)

    a non-bonding pair on one atom

    only (not shared) is called a lon

    e pair (LP)

    LP–LP repulsion > LP–BP repuls

    ion > BP–BP repulsion.

    These rules explain the shapes

    of the ammonia, NH3, and wate

    r, H2O, molecules.

    NH3The nitrogen at

    om has four pairs of electrons,

    so these will take up a basically

    tetrahedral shape. But one elec

    tron pair is a lone pair, so it repe

    ls the shared pairs more

    than a bonding pair would, and

    the bond angle is decreased fro

    m 109.5° to 107°. The

    final shape of the molecule is de

    scribed as pyramidal.

    What about multiple bonds?

    If a molecule has double (or trip

    le) bonds, the bonding electron

    pairs are all located

    between the bonding atoms an

    d therefore they cound as one b

    onding pair of electrons

    around the central atom for wo

    rking out the shape.

    CO2A dot-and-cross

    diagram of CO2 shows that the

    bonding is O=C=O (see table).

    The

    electron pairs in the double bon

    ds will repel each other as much

    as possible, so the final

    shape of the molecule is linear.

    What about a non-linear molec

    ule with double bonds? A good

    example is sulfur dioxide

    (see quick check question 3).

    H2O

    The oxygen atom has four pairs

    of electrons, so these will take

    up a basically tetrahedral

    shape. But two of the electron

    pairs are lone pairs, so the shar

    ed pairs are repelled more

    than in NH3, and the bond angl

    e in H2O is less than in NH3. Th

    e final bond angle is

    104.5°. The final shape of the m

    olecule is described as non-line

    ar.Shapes of molecules –

    Key words

    Electron pairs repel each other s

    o they are as far apart as possib

    Shapes of molecules – electr

    on-pair repulsion theory

    Quick check 1✔

    WOrked exaMple

    To work out the shape of an ion

    , for example H3O+:

    STep 1 There are two ways to

    approach this

    problem.

    either draw a dot-and-c

    ross diagram of the

    molecule (see diagram opposite

    );

    or count up the numbe

    r of electrons at the

    central atom.

    STep 2 See what shape the ele

    ctron pairs will adopt. They wil

    l be arranged

    tetrahedrally because there are

    four pairs of electrons.

    STep 3 Now see if there are an

    y lone pairs. Yes, one lone pair.

    STep 4 Electron-pair repulsion

    theory tells you that the lone p

    air will repel the

    bonding pairs a little more stro

    ngly than they repel each other

    , and the

    molecule should have the sam

    e shape and bond angle as NH3.

    H3O+ has a pyramid

    al shape with a bond angle of

    107°.

    a What is the shape of the mo

    lecule?

    b Give the approximate bond

    angle.

    QUICk CHeCk QUeSTIONS ?We know the different shapes of molecules by worki

    ng out how the electron pairs

    arrange themselves in space. Th

    e rules of electron-pair repulsio

    n theory tell us that:

    electron pairs repel each other s

    o they are as far apart as possib

    le

    an electron pair shared betwee

    n two atoms is called a bondin

    g pair (BP)

    a non-bonding pair on one atom

    only (not shared) is called a lon

    e pair (LP)

    LP–LP repulsion > LP–BP repuls

    ion > BP–BP repulsion.

    These rules explain the shapes

    of the ammonia, NH3, and wate

    r, H2O, molecules.

    NH3The nitrogen at

    om has four pairs of electrons,

    so these will take up a basically

    tetrahedral shape. But one elec

    tron pair is a lone pair, so it repe

    ls the shared pairs more

    than a bonding pair would, and

    the bond angle is decreased fro

    m 109.5° to 107°. The

    final shape of the molecule is de

    scribed as pyramidal.

    Examiner tip

    Don’t confuse the

    shape of the molecule

    with the shape the

    electron pairs adopt.

    What about multiple bonds?

    If a molecule has double (or trip

    le) bonds, the bonding electron

    pairs are all located

    between the bonding atoms an

    d therefore they cound as one b

    onding pair of electrons

    around the central atom for wo

    rking out the shape.

    CO2A dot-and-cross

    diagram of CO2 shows that the

    bonding is O=C=O (see table).

    The

    electron pairs in the double bon

    ds will repel each other as much

    as possible, so the final

    shape of the molecule is linear.

    What about a non-linear molec

    ule with double bonds? A good

    example is sulfur dioxide

    (see quick check question 3).
