Bronsted and Lowry-
acid proton donor base
proton accepter
Conjugate acid/base
molecules related by the loss or gain of a
proton eg. H20 (acid) and H30+
(conjugate base(accepted))
neutralisation reactions
salt based on stronger acid/base
-strong+strong=neutral salt + H2O
Buffer
weak acid and
conjugate base eg.
HCO3- and CO3 2-
used in blood, minimises pH change
Titration
reacting a solution of unknown
concentration with a standard
method
Annotations:
(1) Choose indicator which has an end point suitable to equivalence point
(2) Rinse glassware with distilled water, and then with the acid/base
(3) Wash conical flask with distilled water
(4) Fill 25mL pipette with aliquot of standard solution in volumetric flask
(5) Add 3 drops of indicator to the flask
(6) Fill burette with titrant, using dropper to add the final volumes
(7) Assemble retort stand and equipment appropriately
(8) Titrate with the left hand and swirl with right. Repeat 3 times for accuracy.
