CEE 680 Lecture #16 2/21/2020 Defining the Titration Curve A titration is complete when the equivalents of titrant (t) added equals the equivalents of sample (s) originally present equ t = equ s V t N t = V s N s we can define the extent of a base titration as: V N equ f B B B V M moles s s s At any point from the start of the titration, we have a mixed solution of the acid and conjugate base We must use the ENE in place of the PBE David Reckhow CEE 680 #16 3 Defining the Titration Curve (cont.) The ENE is: for this problem (titration of HAc with NaOH): [Na + ] + [H + ] = [Ac ‐ ] + [OH ‐ ] and in general, for a base titration: C B [Na + ] = [A ‐ ] + [OH ‐ ] ‐ [H + ] and combining with the definition for f: V N equ C Amount of base added at any point f B B B B during the titration in equivalents/liter V M moles C s s s T [ A ] [ OH ] [ H ] Amount of acid originally present in C moles/liter (which is the same as the T total of acid + conjugate base present [ OH ] [ H ] throughout) 1 C T David Reckhow CEE 680 #16 4 2

CEE 680 Lecture #16 2/21/2020 Reverse Titration (acid) The reverse titration is the addition of a strong acid (e.g., HCl) to the fully titrated acetic acid (e.g., NaAc). This re ‐ forms the original HAc and produces NaCl too. we can define the extent of an acid titration as: V N equ A A A g V M moles s s s As with the forward titration, we have a mixed solution of the acid and conjugate base We must use the ENE in place of the PBE David Reckhow CEE 680 #16 7 Reverse titration (cont.) The ENE is: for this problem (titration of NaAc with HCl): [Na + ] + [H + ] = [Ac ‐ ] + [OH ‐ ] + [Cl ‐ ] [Cl - ] = [Na + ] - [Ac - ] + [H + ] - [OH - ] and for an acid titration of a pure base (Na form): C T [HA] + [A ‐ ] = [Na + ] C A [Cl - ] = [HA] + [H + ] - [OH - ] and combining with the definition for g: V N equ C Amount of acid added at any point g A A A A during the titration in equivalents/liter V M moles C s s s T [ HA ] [ H ] [ OH ] Amount of base originally present in C moles/liter (which is the same as the T total of acid + conjugate base present [ H ] [ OH ] throughout) 0 C T David Reckhow CEE 680 #16 8 4

CEE 680 Lecture #16 2/21/2020 Engineered Processes certain treatments need large pH shifts (e.g., softening) others need to resist large shifts (e.g., biotreatment) Laboratory buffers needed to calibrate pH meters used in experimentation to maintain constant pH. This simplifies data analysis and interpretation David Reckhow CEE 680 #16 11 Making a Buffer Acid & conjugate base best to have a reservoir of each so there is resistance to change in both directions A - Mirror questions Given a desired pH, Base what should the buffer composition be? HA A - Given an acid/conjugate base mixture, what will Acid the pH be? HA David Reckhow CEE 680 #16 12 6
