Titrations –the calculations • You know: • The volume and concentration of one solution • The volume of the second solution • The equation for the reaction 12 Chemistry 2.2 quantitative chemistry CR 07
Moving from unknown to known • Calculate the number of moles of solute in the known solution using c = n/v • Use the balanced equation to find the number of moles of unknown solution • Use the volume of the unknown solution to calculate concentration 12 Chemistry 2.2 quantitative chemistry CR 07
Worked example • A standard solution of 1M HCl • is titrated against a solution of • NaOH of unknown concentration • 20mL aliquots of NaOH are used • and the average titre is 22.3 mL 12 Chemistry 2.2 quantitative chemistry CR 07

Information • c (HCl) = 1 molL-1 • v (HCl) = 22.3 mL = o.o223 L • n (HCl) = cxv = 1 x 0.0223 • = 0.0223 mol • n (HCl) = n (NaOH) • n (NaOH) = 0.0223 mol • v (NaOH) = 20 mL = 0.02 L 12 Chemistry 2.2 quantitative chemistry CR 07
c (NaOH) = n/v • = 0.0223 / 0.02 • = 1.115 molL-1 • = 1.12 molL-1 (3sf) 12 Chemistry 2.2 quantitative chemistry CR 07
