In general, the positions of these equilibria are influenced both by the nature and the concentrations of the ions in solution. Tons with a greater positive charge and a smaller size fond to have a greater affinity for the cation-exchange resin than do larger i ions with smaller charges. As shown in Equation [1], one H” ion s liberated i for each M* cation. Two H* ions would be liberated for each ‘M** cation, three H* ions for each M™* cation, and so forth. Thus, the extent ‘of exchange bf eations with H- on a resin would be expected to decrease in the orders: Thi > Alt > Ca®* > Na* and Cs* > Rb* > K* > Nav > Li*. In the latter series there appears to be a discrepancy because we expect the Cs" ion tobe larger than the Liv ion and thus to have a smaller charge density. How- fever, the Lit ion is hydrated and is tightly bound to six HzO molecules, SGhereas the Cs" ion is bound to only four H,O molecules, making the {Li(4;0).|* ion larger than the [Cs(H;0))" ion. Tn the same way, when small, highly negative anions come into contact swith an anion-exchange resin, they liberate one OH” for each negative Charge. Thus we would expect the position of equilibrium [2] to be influ ghee by the charge density ofthe anion aso. As. consequence, since anions gre not so tightly Bound to HO molecules as are cations, we expect the ex tent of exchange of anions in solutions with OF ions on the resin to de- crease in the orders: F> > CI” > Br’ > I” and PO, > SO > Cle, | for example. Because ion-exchange resins possess the ability to remove ‘ations and anions from water and replace them with H” or OH” ions, rex spectively, ion-exchange resins are commonly used to deionze water and to i soften water You may have a water softener in your home; if you do, you Should recognize that it is usta large container of cation-exchange resin IL. Hard Water ‘The term hard water has its origin in the fact that mineral impurities such as Ca, Mg2™, and Fe", which are frequently present in natural water, react with soap to form gummy precipitates. They also react with COs" and 50,2 in the water to leave what is called a biler sale (CaCOs, MgCOs, oF ‘CaS0,) on walls of the vessels in which hard water is boiled.

You may have observed the formation of such a precipitate and the fact that soap does not form much of a foam or lather in hard water.

Since OH ions react with H” ions according to Equa- tion (6), the eluate would be pure water: HY(@q) + OH" (aq) — 1200) (6) ‘Water treated in this way is said to be deionized. Tr onder to carry out such a process in actuality it is necessary to have a large volume of resin with respect to the volume of solution, because fone raechange resins typically have an exchange capacity of only about 5 mmol/s sna diy basis. Also, it is necessary to have a long contac time between the sation and the resin so that all the ionic sites on the resin may contact the se im solution. Thus we generally use a column such as illustrated in i Figure 2 and slowly pass through it the solution tobe exchange Tenexchange resins are useful not only for separation and purification purposes, but also for analytical purposes. Suppose you passed a solution PeMaining a known mass of pure soluble calcium salt (which contained an coknowrramount of calcium) through a cation-exchange resin.

Then rinse with at least five 10-mL portions of distilled water. The water must run freely from the buret without leaving any drops adhering to the sides. Make sure that the buret does not leak and that the stopcock turns freely. Reading a Buret All liquids, when placed in a buret, form a curved menis- ‘cus at their upper surfaces. In the case of water or water solutions, this ‘meniscus is concave (Figure 3), and the most accurate buret readings are ob- tained by observing the position of the lowest point on the meniscus on the graduated scales, “To avoid parallax errors when taking readings, the eye must be on a level with the meniscus, Wrap a strip of paper around the buret and hold the top edges of the strip evenly together.

This coloration disappears with swirling. As the end point is approached, the color disappears more slowly, at which time the NaOH should be added drop by drop. Itis most important that the flask be swirled constantly throughout the entire titration. The end point is reached when one drop of the NaOH solution tuens the entite solu- tion in the flask from colorless to pink. The solution should remain pink ‘when it is swirled, Allow the titrated solution to stand for at least 1 min so the buret will drain properly.

It should be noted that the equivalence point ina titration isa theoretical point.
