Acidic 1- Strong Inorganic Titration direct /back indicator


compounds acids Direct titration against strong base e.g. NaOH Both phph
(HCl, HNO3, HSO4) HC1 + NaoH -> Nach +

H20 and M. R
2- Weak inorganic acids Back titration because it’s a weak acid so it needs to be
(boric acid) pka>8 or stronger. inorganicacid
polyhydroxy/ group
+

ka< 1. Adding polyhydroxy group (e.g glycerol) to


convert it to glyceroboric acid which is stronger [Link] is
(but still weak) than boric acid. optimum
2. Titrate the glyceroboric acid with strong base
(e.g NaOH)
3- Organic acids Direct titration against a strong base e.g NaOH
- Butyric acid C4H8O2  All organic acids are weak. [Link] is
- Acetic acid CH3COOH  Give a basic salt (pH>7) the
-benzoic optimum
Etc..
4- Acidic salts (pka <8) Direct titration with strong base e.g NaOH [Link] is
-NaH2PO4 the
-[Link] optimum
5- Acidic mixture Can be direct titration.

KOH, Ca(OH)2
2-Organic bases; all of Direct titration against strong acid e.g HCl M.O is the
the weak bases M.O used because of acidic salt formation optimum
Amines (1ry, 2ry,3ry)

3-NH3 (volatile sample)  Back titration using known excess amount of HCl M.O
As weak base and unreacted part of HCl is back titrated vs NaOH
 Gives acidic salts (NH4Cl) pH<7

Formol method phph
HCOH + ammonium salt, the remaining HCl titrated
against strong base
3- Kjeldahl method 1. Digestion M.O
Organic N reacts with H2SO4 to get CO2 + H2O
and (NH4)2SO4. Se or cu can be used to
accelerate digestion. K2SO4 is used to raise the
B.P

2. Neutralization and distillation of NH3


Excess amount of NaOH is added to (NH4)2SO4
and release ammonia.

3. Titration
Ammonia + trapping acid (HCl) excess
Then the remaining acid is titrated against
strong base NaOH
