The Titration Process Titration is a method of determination of chemical concentrations using a standard reference solution Titration involves dissolving a sample using a highly purified chemical reagent also known as a primary standard The titration process involves the use an indicator that changes color at the end of the reaction to indicate the processs completion The majority of titrations are carried out in an aqueous solution however glacial acetic acid and ethanol in the field of petrochemistry are sometimes used Titration Procedure The titration process is an established and welldocumented method for quantitative chemical analysis It is employed in a variety of industries including food and pharmaceutical production Titrations are performed manually or with automated devices A titration is done by adding an existing standard solution of known concentration to the sample of an unidentified substance until it reaches its endpoint or the equivalence point Titrations can take place using various indicators the most popular being phenolphthalein and methyl orange These indicators are used as a signal to indicate the end of a test and to ensure that the base is fully neutralised You can also determine the endpoint using a precision tool such as a calorimeter or pH meter Acidbase titrations are by far the most common type of titrations These are used to determine the strength of an acid or the level of weak bases To determine this the weak base is transformed into its salt and then titrated against the strength of an acid like CH3COOH or a very strong base CH3COONa The endpoint is usually indicated by using an indicator like methyl red or methyl orange that changes to orange in acidic solutions and yellow in neutral or basic ones Another popular titration is an isometric titration that is usually carried out to measure the amount of heat generated or consumed in the course of a reaction Isometric measurements can be made using an isothermal calorimeter or a pH titrator that analyzes the temperature changes of a solution There are several factors that can cause failure of a titration by causing improper handling or storage of the sample improper weighing inhomogeneity of the sample and a large amount of titrant being added to the sample To prevent these mistakes a combination of SOP adhering to it and more sophisticated measures to ensure integrity of the data and traceability is the best way This will help reduce the number of the chances of errors occurring in workflows particularly those caused by sample handling and titrations This is because the titrations are usually conducted on very small amounts of liquid making these errors more obvious than they would be in larger quantities Titrant The titrant solution is a solution that has a concentration that is known and is added to the substance that is to be test The solution has a property that allows it to interact with the analyte to produce an controlled chemical reaction which causes neutralization of the base or acid The titrations endpoint is determined when the reaction is complete and may be observed either through the change in color or using devices like potentiometers voltage measurement with an electrode The volume of titrant used is then used to calculate concentration of analyte within the original sample Titration can be accomplished in a variety of different ways but the most commonly used way is to dissolve both the titrant or analyte and the analyte in water Other solvents for instance glacial acetic acids or ethanol may also be used for specific uses eg Petrochemistry which is specialized in petroleum The samples must be liquid in order for titration There are four kinds of titrations including acidbase diprotic acid complexometric and Redox In acidbase titrations a weak polyprotic acid is titrated against an extremely strong base and the equivalence level is determined through the use of an indicator like litmus or phenolphthalein These types of titrations are commonly used in labs to determine the concentration of various chemicals in raw materials like petroleum and oil products The manufacturing industry also uses the titration process to calibrate equipment and monitor the quality of finished products In the industry of food processing and pharmaceuticals Titration is used to determine the acidity and sweetness of foods and the amount of moisture in drugs to ensure they have the right shelf life The entire process can be controlled through an the titrator The titrator is able to automatically dispense the titrant and track the titration for an obvious reaction It also can detect when the reaction has been completed and calculate the results and save them It will detect the moment when the reaction hasnt been completed and prevent further titration The benefit of using an instrument for titrating is that it requires less experience and training to operate than manual methods Analyte A sample analyzer is a system of piping and equipment that extracts a sample from the process stream alters it the sample if needed and then transports it to the right analytical instrument The analyzer may test the sample by applying various principles including conductivity of electrical energy measurement of anion or cation conductivity turbidity measurement fluorescence a substance absorbs light at a certain wavelength and emits it at a different wavelength or chromatography measurement of particle size or shape Many analyzers will add reagents into the sample to increase its sensitivity The results are stored in a log The analyzer is typically used for liquid or gas analysis Indicator A chemical indicator is one that alters color or other properties when the conditions of its solution change The change could be a change in color but it could also be changes in temperature or an alteration in precipitate Chemical indicators are used to monitor and regulate chemical reactions including titrations They are typically found in chemistry laboratories and are beneficial for science experiments and classroom demonstrations The acidbase indicator is a popular type of indicator used in titrations and other lab applications It is composed of the base which is weak and the acid The indicator is sensitive to changes in pH Both the acid and base are different shades Litmus is a reliable indicator It is red when it is in contact with acid and blue in the presence of bases Other types of indicators include bromothymol phenolphthalein and phenolphthalein These indicators are used to observe the reaction between an acid and a base and they can be very helpful in finding the exact equivalence point of the titration Indicators function by having a molecular acid form HIn and an Ionic Acid form HiN The chemical equilibrium between the two forms varies on pH and so adding hydrogen to the equation pushes it towards the molecular form This results in the characteristic color of the indicator Likewise adding base moves the equilibrium to the right side of the equation away from the molecular acid and towards the conjugate base resulting in the indicators characteristic color Indicators are most commonly used in acidbase titrations however they can be employed in other types of titrations such as Redox Titrations Redox titrations are more complex but they have the same principles as those for acidbase titrations In a redoxbased titration the indicator is added to a small volume of an acid or base to help titrate it When the indicator changes color in the reaction to the titrant this indicates that the titration has reached its endpoint The indicator is removed from the flask and then washed in order to eliminate any remaining titrant
