Question
Question
Do we really need to cool down the solution after boiling?
Question
What's the reason behind boiling the solution after the first equivalence point?
Question
What will happen if we do not use CO2- free distilled water?
Question
Is the ice bath important?
Discussion
Carbonate, bicarbonate, and hydroxide constitute a carbonate mixture but a maximum of two can only exist at the same time as the other one will be consumed completely
Volumes of Titrant V0->phth = V0->bcg > 0 V0->phth = Vphth->bcg V0->phth = 0 ; Vphth->bcg > 0 V0->phth > Vphth->bcg
Na2CO3 + NaHCO3
Conclusion
Alkalimetry is the determination of the quantity of real alkaline in alkali solutions or salts, either through gravimetric or volumetric analysis. Observe proper laboratory procedures and techniques
