Unit 1: Volumetric Analysis 

Volumetric analysis Introduction

Volumetric analysis is defined as the process of the determination of the concentration of an unknown solution by finding its volume which will exactly react with a definite volume of another solution of known concentration.

Gravimetric analysis is defined as the process of quantitative determination of an analyte(the ion being analyzed) based on the mass of a solid.

At first solution of given sample is prepared, treated with suitable reagent to convert into insoluble form which is made pure by washing, dried and weighed. Then the weight of the required substance is calculated with the help of theoretical concept.

Eg. How much SO4-- ion is present in a given sample of Na2SO4?

A known amount of the given sample is dissolved in water and the excess amount of BaCl2 is added to the solution so that all SO4-- is converted into insoluble BaSO4. The precipitate is washed and made pure, it is then dried and weighed. Let the weight of BaSO4 formed is Y gm.

We know, 233 gm. of BaSO4 contains 96 gm. of SO4-- ions.

So, Y gm. of BaSO4 contains (96/233) x Y gm. of SO4--ions.

Pre-requirements in volumetric analysis

Equivalent weight (equivalent mass)

It is defined as “the no. of parts by wt. of the substance that combines with or displaces 1.008 parts by wt. of hydrogen, 8 parts by wt. of oxygen or 35.5 parts by wt. of chlorine.”

Equivalent weight is a unit less.

Equivalent weight expressed in gm is called gm. equivalent.

No. of gm. eqvt. = given wt./eq.wt.

Derivation of normality equation 

Derivation of normality equation Volumetric Analysis NEB

Que: N1V1 = N2V2 is always true but M1V1 = M2V2 is not true always. Why?

Ans: 

The product of normality and volume in litre (NV) gives the no. of g. eq. of the substance. In any reaction, no. of g. eq. of the reacting substances are always equal. Thus, N1V1 = N2V2 is always. The product of molarity and volume in litre (MV) gives the no. of moles of the substance. In any reaction, no. of moles of the reacting substances may or may not be equal. Thus, M,V1 = M2V2 may or may not be true. If no. of moles of reacting substances are equal, M1V1 = M2V2 and If no. of moles of reacting substances are not equal,, M1V1≠M2V2. eg.

2NaOH + H2SO4 → Na2SO4 + 2H2O
80 g.           98 g.            142 g.     36 g.
2 g.eq.        2 mol.
2 g.eq.       1 mol

In the above reaction, the no of g. eq. of NaOH and H2SO, are equal, so N1V1 = N2V2 but the no. of moles are not equal, so M1V1≠M2V2. But in the reaction,

NaOH + HCL → NaCl + H2O
40 g.        36.5 g.
1 g. eq.     1 mol.
1 g. eq.    1 mol

In the above reaction, the no of g. eq. of NaOH and HCl, are equal, so N1V1 = N2V2 and the no. of moles are also equal, so M1V1=M2V2.

N1V1 = N2V2 is true always but M1V1 = M2V2 is not true always. Why?
