Titration
in an acid-base titration, a solution of known concentration
(titrant) is slowly added to a solution of unknown concentration
(analyte) from a burette until the reaction is complete
when the reaction is complete we have reached the endpoint of
the titration
an indicator may be added to determine the endpoint
an indicator is a chemical that changes color when the pH
changes
when the moles of H3O+ = moles of OH, the titration has reached
its equivalence point
Equivalence point not the same as end point!
Equivalence point is the theoretical point when moles acid = moles base.
End point is experimental point that approximates equivalence point.

Titration

Indicators
many dyes change color depending on the pH of the solution
these dyes are weak acids, establishing an equilibrium with the H2O
and H3O+ in the solution
H-Ind(aq) + H2O(l) Ind(aq) + H3O+(aq)
Ka = [Ind-][H3O+] / [H-Ind]
pKa of indicator is pH where indicator changes color
When using an indicator to monitor a titration, we want to match the
pKa of the indicator with the pH of the equivalence point as closely
as possible.

Matching indicators with titrations

The equivalence point for the titration of HCl with NaOH occurs at pH 7.
Which indicators would be suitable for this titration?

Types of titrations
Four general types of titrations:
- strong acid / strong base (base added to acid; base = titrant)
- strong base / strong acid (acid added to base; acid = titrant)
- weak acid / strong base
- weak base / strong acid
All titrations share common traits
- pH before titrant is added
- pH before equivalence point is reached
- pH at equivalence point (acid or base is entirely neutralized!)
- pH after equivalence point (excess titrant)

Quick detour Looking at the titration curve, we can see that we
havent reached the equivalence point. But we usually dont have a
titration curve to refer to. In fact, we dont really need the titration
curve to gauge where we are in the titration curve.
What we need to know is
- the total moles of acid before we start to titrate
- the volume of base we need to add to reach the equivalence point
(in other words, the volume of base to react completely with all the
acid)

Things to keep in mind when working a titration problem


- total # of moles of acid (or base)
- # of moles of acid (or base) left after addn of titrant; helps you
decide if youve reached the equivalence point yet
- at equivalence point, no moles of acid (or base) left!
- after equivalence point, pH is due to excess titrant

Solutions to exercises

Strong acid / strong base titration (NaOH added to HCl)


Case study: 0.5 M NaOH is added to 200.0 mL of 0.5 M HCl
Phase 1: What is the initial pH?
Whats going on?
The initial pH is the pH of the solution before we add any titrant.
Since HCl is a strong acid, the pH is just the hydronium
concentration.
[H3O+] = [HCl] = 0.5 M
pH = -log (0.5 M)
= 0.3

Strong acid / strong base titration (NaOH added to HCl)


Case study: 0.5 M NaOH is added to 200.0 mL of 0.5 M HCl
Phase 2: What is the pH when 100 mL of NaOH have been added?
Whats going on?
Before we start our calculations, lets just do a quick detour to
determine the total number of moles of acid that youre starting
with. This will tell us two things:
- what volume of base we need to reach the equivalence point;
- how much acid is left over after weve added our 100 mL of base
Initial moles of HCl = [HCl] x Vol. HCl
= (0.5 moles / L) x (0.200 L)
= 0.1 moles = 100 mmoles

Strong acid / strong base titration (NaOH added to HCl)


Case study: 0.5 M NaOH is added to 200.0 mL of 0.5 M HCl
Phase 2: What is the pH when 100 mL of NaOH have been added?
Whats going on?
All right, so how much base do we need to add to react
completely with 100 mmoles of our acid? The neutralization
reaction shows that NaOH reacts 1:1 with HCl
HCl + NaOH NaCl + H2O
So we need 100 mmoles of base. Well use the molarity of NaOH to
determine the volume
0.100 moles NaOH x (1 L / 0.5 moles) = 0.2 L = 200 mL

Strong acid / strong base titration (NaOH added to HCl)


Case study: 0.5 M NaOH is added to 200.0 mL of 0.5 M HCl
Phase 2: What is the pH when 100 mL of NaOH have been added?
Whats going on?
All right! Now were ready to calculate the pH
From the previous calculation, we determined that we need to add
200 mL of our base to reach the equivalence point. In phase 2,
weve only added 100 mL of base. So, we havent reached the
equivalence point. Well still have HCl left over.
So, pH will be due to the hydronium from the remaining HCl.
How much acid will be left over?

Strong acid / strong base titration (NaOH added to HCl)


Case study: 0.5 M NaOH is added to 200.0 mL of 0.5 M HCl
Phase 2: What is the pH when 100 mL of NaOH have been added?
Calculations
Moles of NaOH added = [NaOH] x Vol. NaOH
= (0.5 moles / L) x (0.100 L)
= 0.05 moles = 50 mmoles
Since HCl reacts with NaOH in a 1:1 manner, 50 mmoles of HCl
are neutralized.
Moles HCl remaining = 100 mmoles - 50 mmoles = 50 mmoles

Strong acid / strong base titration (NaOH added to HCl)


Case study: 0.5 M NaOH is added to 200.0 mL of 0.5 M HCl
Phase 2: What is the pH when 100 mL of NaOH have been added?
Calculations
OK, almost there. Now we just need to calculate the pH based on
the amount of remaining hydronium.
[H3O+] = moles remaining acid / new volume!
We need to keep track of our volume:
initial volume = 200 mL
100 mL of NaOH added
New volume = (200 + 100) mL = 300 mL

Strong acid / strong base titration (NaOH added to HCl)


Case study: 0.5 M NaOH is added to 200.0 mL of 0.5 M HCl
Phase 2: What is the pH when 100 mL of NaOH have been added?
Calculations
OK, almost there. Now we just need to calculate the pH based on
the amount of remaining hydronium.
[H3O+] = moles remaining acid / new volume!
= 50 mmoles / 300 mL
= 0.17 M
pH = -log (0.17 M)
= 0.78

Strong acid / strong base titration (NaOH added to HCl)


Case study: 0.5 M NaOH is added to 200.0 mL of 0.5 M HCl
Phase 3: What is the pH at the equivalence point?
Whats going on?
At the equivalence point, the amount of base is equal to the amount
of acid. That is, moles base = moles acid.
All the acid has been neutralized!
The only source of acidity is from the autoionization of water.
Kw = [H3O+][OH-] = 1.0 x 10-14
Since [H3O+] = [OH-] for pure water, [H3O+] = 1.0 x 10-7
pH = -log (1.0 x 10-7) = 7

Strong acid / strong base titration (NaOH added to HCl)


Case study: 0.5 M NaOH is added to 200.0 mL of 0.5 M HCl
Phase 3: What is the pH at the equivalence point?
For the titration of a strong acid with a strong base (or vice versa),
the pH at the equivalence point will always be 7.
This is not the case for weak acids and weak bases, as well see
shortly.

Case study: 0.5 M NaOH is added to 200.0 mL of 0.5 M HCl
Phase 4: What is the pH when 300.0 mL (total) of NaOH have been
added?
Whats going on?
At this point, were adding excess base. The pH will be due to the
excess hydroxide.
How much excess hydroxide do we have?
There are two ways we can figure this out:
- calculate the total moles of base that have been added; subtract
the amount of base needed to neutralize the acid
- or calculate the volume of base required to neutralize the acid;
the excess base will come from the volume of base thats left over

Case study: 0.5 M NaOH is added to 200.0 mL of 0.5 M HCl
Phase 4: What is the pH when 300.0 mL (total) of NaOH have been
added?
Calculations:
-Determining amount of excess base
We started with 100 mmoles of acid. So we need 100 mmoles of
base to neutralize the acid.
moles of base in 300 mL 0.5 M NaOH = ?
moles NaOH = [NaOH] x Vol. NaOH
= (0.5 moles / L) x (0.300 L)
= 0.150 moles or 150 mmoles

Strong acid / strong base titration (NaOH added to HCl)


Case study: 0.5 M NaOH is added to 200.0 mL of 0.5 M HCl
Phase 4: What is the pH when 300.0 mL (total) of NaOH have been
added?
Calculations:
Excess moles base = 150 mmoles 100 mmoles = 50 mmoles
[OH-] = moles excess base / new volume
We started with 200 mL of acid; weve added 300 mL of base
new volume = (200 + 300) mL = 500 mL
[OH-] = 50 mmoles / 500 mL = 0.1 M
pOH = -log (0.1 M) = 1
pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 1 = 13

Weak acid / strong base titration (NaOH added to HC2H3O2)


Case study: 0.5 M NaOH is added to 200.0 mL of 0.5 M HC2H3O2
Phase 1: What is the initial pH?
Whats going on?
The initial pH is the pH of the solution before we add any titrant.
Since acetic acid is a weak acid, it exists in equilibrium between its
acid form and its conjugate base form:
HC2H3O2 + H2O <===> C2H3O2- + H3O+
The pH is determined by the equilibrium concentration of
hydronium.

Phase 2: What is the pH when 100 mL of NaOH have been added?
Whats going on?
All right, so how much base do we need to add to react
completely with 100 mmoles of our acid? The neutralization
reaction shows that NaOH reacts 1:1 with HC2H3O2
HC2H3O2 + NaOH NaC2H3O2 + H2O
So we need 100 mmoles of base. Well use the molarity of NaOH to
determine the volume
0.100 moles NaOH x (1 L / 0.5 moles) = 0.2 L = 200 mL

HC2H3O2 is being neutralized by NaOH:
HC2H3O2 + NaOH NaC2H3O2 + H2O
We still have HC2H3O2 left over - because we havent reached the

Neutralization of acetic acid creates its conjugate base, acetate.
Weve created a buffer!
*So, we can use the Henderson-Hasselbach equation to
determine the pH!*

At the equivalence point, all the acid has been neutralized. That is,
all the acetic acid has been converted to acetate.
Rather than pure water, we have a solution of a weak base (the

Before we set up our equilibrium expression, we need to remember
that were dealing with the equilibrium of a weak base in water.
Whats the equilibrium constant?
We need the Kb for acetate as a weak base. But how do we get Kb?
Well use the relationship between Kw, Ka, acid, Kb, conjugate base :
Kw = Ka,acid x Kb, conjugate base
Kb, conjugate base = Kw / Ka, acid

5.6 x 10-10 = x(x) / (0.25 x); invoke x is small approximation
x2 = 0.25 x (5.6 x 10-10)
x = 1.2 x 10-5 M
[OH-] = 1.2 x 10-5 M
pOH = -log [OH-] = -log (1.7 x 10-5 M) = 4.9
pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 4.8 = 9.1

Weak acid / strong base titration (NaOH added to HC2H3O2)


Case study: 0.5 M NaOH is added to 200.0 mL of 0.5 M HC2H3O2
Phase 4: What is the pH when 300.0 mL (total) of NaOH have been
added?
Whats going on?
At this point, were adding excess base. The pH will be due to the
excess hydroxide.
What about the acetate? Why isnt it contributing?
Addition of excess hydroxide will prevent acetate from converting
to its conjugate acid form. We can explain this using Le Chteliers
Principle.
C2H3O2- + H2O <===> HC2H3O2 + OH-

Weak acid / strong base titration (NaOH added to HC2H3O2)


Case study: 0.5 M NaOH is added to 200.0 mL of 0.5 M HC2H3O2
Phase 4: What is the pH when 300.0 mL (total) of NaOH have been
added?
Whats going on?
Since the pH is due to the excess hydroxide, we have the exact
same scenario as we did with the titration of HCl with NaOH. The
calculations are exactly the same. For completeness, Ill repeat
them.
How much excess hydroxide do we have?
There are two ways we can figure this out:
- calculate the total moles of base that have been added; subtract
the amount of base needed to neutralize the acid
- or calculate the volume of base required to neutralize the acid;
the excess base will come from the volume of base thats left over 56

Weak acid / strong base titration (NaOH added to HC2H3O2)


Case study: 0.5 M NaOH is added to 200.0 mL of 0.5 M HC2H3O2
Phase 4: What is the pH when 300.0 mL (total) of NaOH have been
added?
Calculations:
-Determining amount of excess base
We started with 100 mmoles of acid. So we need 100 mmoles of
base to neutralize the acid.
moles of base in 300 mL 0.5 M NaOH = ?
moles NaOH = [NaOH] x Vol. NaOH
= (0.5 moles / L) x (0.300 L)
= 0.150 moles or 150 mmoles

Weak acid / strong base titration (NaOH added to HC2H3O2)


Case study: 0.5 M NaOH is added to 200.0 mL of 0.5 M HC2H3O2
Phase 4: What is the pH when 300.0 mL (total) of NaOH have been
added?
Calculations:
Excess moles base = 150 mmoles 100 mmoles = 50 mmoles
[OH-] = moles excess base / new volume
We started with 200 mL of acid; weve added 300 mL of base
new volume = (200 + 300) mL = 500 mL
[OH-] = 50 mmoles / 500 mL = 0.1 M
pOH = -log (0.1 M) = 1
pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 1 = 13
