    General: Method: M3 - Titer Determination of Alkaline Titrants

    Uploaded by

    Henrique Piaggio
    This document describes the method for determining the titer of alkaline titrants such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide solutions. Alkaline titrants can absorb carbon dioxide from the air over time, reducing their titer. The method involves titrating a standard solution of potassium hydrogen phthalate with the alkaline titrant and calculating the titer based on the equivalent weight of the potassium hydrogen phthalate and the volume of titrant used to reach the endpoint. Key steps include drying the potassium hydrogen phthalate, weighing it accurately, dissolving it and titrating it to the endpoint with the alkaline titrant being standardized.

    Method: M3 – Titer determination of alkaline titrants

    General

    Alkaline titrants do not have a stable titer. They may absorb CO2 from the atmos-
    phere to form carbonates, e.g.:
    2 NaOH + CO2 = Na2CO3 + H2O
    This not only reduces the titer. The different strengths of the bases NaOH and
    Na2CO3 may negatively influence the titration curves and therefore the results – high-
    bias results are simulated, particularly for weak acids. In order to reduce CO2 absorp-
    tion as much as possible, soda lime (e.g. Merck no. 106839) is placed in the dry-
    ing/absorber tube of the Exchange Unit.

    Reagents

    c(NaOH) = 0.1 mol/L: If possible this titrant should be bought ready for use. Other-
    wise dissolve 4.0 g NaOH in CO2-free dist. H2O, make up to 1 liter and mix.

    c(KOH) = 0.1 mol/L in ethanol or isopropanol (IPA): If possible this titrant should
    be bought ready for use. Otherwise dissolve 5.6 g KOH in approx. 25 mL CO2-free
    dist. H2O, allow to cool down and then make up to 1 liter with ethanol or IPA and mix.

    lyte solution 6.2320.000) for non-aqueous titrations, with 6.2104.100 electrode cable

    Titer determination

    Potassium hydrogen phthalate is dried overnight in a drying oven at 105 °C and al-
    lowed to cool down in a desiccator for at least 1 h.
    Approx. 200 mg potassium hydrogen phthalate is weighed out into the titration
    beaker with an accuracy of 0.1 mg and dissolved in approx. 50 mL dist. H2O. It is
    then immediately titrated to after the first endpoint with c(base) = 0.1 mol/L.

    Calculations

    1 mL c(base) = 0.1 mol/L corresponds to 20.423 mg KH-phthalate

    Titer = C00 / 20.423 / EP1

    EP1 = mL base up to endpoint


    C00 = weight of KH-phthalate in mg
    20.423 = equivalent weight of KH-phthalate
