The mole and molar mass The number of particles in a substance is measured in moles 1 mole of particles = 6.02214 x 1023 particles for any substance! called Avogadro’s number Molar mass is calculated by adding up the atomic mass (or mass number ) or each individual atom. E.g. H2O Molar mass M = 1 + 1 + 16 = 18 GZ Science resources 2013
Converting number of particles to amount, n If the actual number of particles is known (atoms, ions or molecules) then the amount, n, is easily calculated since n= For example 12 x 1024 sodium ions is equivalent to mol = 20 mol of sodium ions. How many moles of water molecules are there in 3 x 1022 molecules of H2O? GZ Science resources 2013
Relative atomic and molecular mass Ar and M Sometimes information is provided in terms of the relative atomic mass, Ar, of an element rather than its molar mass. This has exactly the same numerical value but has no units e.g. Ar of oxygen is 16 and the M of oxygen is 16 g mol-1. Note: The relative atomic mass is, in fact, the mass of an atom relative to the mass of an atom of the isotope carbon -12 which has a mass of 12. This means an atom of oxygen-16 is times heavier than an atom of carbon-12. The relative molecular mass, Mr, is the mass of a molecule relative to carbon-12. e.g. Mr of CuSO4 is 159.5, the same numerical value as the molar mass but having no units, (M = 159.5 g mol-1).

Volumetric Analysis GZ Science resources 2013 Volumetric analysis involves a titration. >In a titration, a solution, of unknown concentration, is typically titrated (added) from a burette into a flask. >The flask typically contains a known amount of solution. A pipette is used to measure a precise set volume called an aliquot. >In an acid-base titration the end point of the titration is reached when there is a neutralisation. Indicator (usually phenolphthalein) is added into the flask and a colour change (lasting more than 10 seconds) will indicate a neutralisation. >Using c=n/v and a balanced equation, the concentration of the solutions can be calculated.

Titration equipment setup Make sure you label your beaker with the solutions they contain Rinse all glassware appropriately GZ Science resources 2013
Indicator selection Before starting the titration a suitable pH indicator must be chosen. The endpoint of the reaction, when all the products have reacted, will have a pH dependent on the relative strengths of the acids and bases. The pH of the endpoint can be roughly determined using the following rules: A strong acid reacts with a strong base to form a neutral (pH=7) solution. A strong acid reacts with a weak base to form an acidic (pH<7) solution. A weak acid reacts with a strong base to form a basic (pH>7) solution. When a weak acid reacts with a weak base, the endpoint solution will be basic if the base is stronger and acidic if the acid is stronger. If both are of equal strength, then the endpoint pH will be neutral. A suitable indicator should be chosen, that will experience a change in colour close to the end point of the reaction. Indicator Acid Base pH range Methyl Orange Red Yellow 3.1 - 4.4 Phenolphthalein Colourless Pink 8.3 - 10.0 GZ Science resources 2013
Standard solutions A standard solution is a solution whose concentration is known accurately. Its concentration is usually given in mol L–1. When making up a standard solution it is important that the correct mass of substance is accurately measured and all of this is successfully transferred to the volumetric flask used to make up the solution. • Making a 1molL-1 of NaCl solution • Calculate the mass of 1mole of NaCl • m (NaCL) = n x M • m (NaCl) = 58.5g • b) Determine the volume of the volumetric flask being used and mass of substance added. • 1L flask = 1mol • 100mL flask = 1/10mol • c) Weigh and add substance to the volumetric flask with wash bottle • d) Continue filling flask with distilled water to line – bottom of meniscus must touch line GZ Science resources 2013
Titration method • First, the burette should be rinsed with the standard solution, the pipette with the unknown solution, and the conical flask with distilled water. • 2. Secondly, a known volume of the unknown concentration solution should be taken with the pipette and placed into the conical flask, along with a small amount of the indicator chosen. The burette should be filled to the top of its scale with the known solution with a funnel. Remove the funnel after the burette is filled. Record the starting volume. • 3. The known solution should then be allowed out of the burette, into the conical flask. At this stage we want a rough estimate of the amount of this solution it took to neutralize the unknown solution. Let the solution out of the burette until the indicator changes colour and then record the value on the burette. This is the first titre and should be excluded from any calculations. • 4. Perform at least three more titrations, this time more accurately, taking into account roughly of where the end point will occur. Record of each of the readings on the burette at the end point. Endpoint is reached when the indicator just changes colour for more than 10 seconds. The titres must be concordant to 0.2ml to gain Excellence ( 0.4ml Merit and Achieved)
Recording Titrations • Read your instructions carefully. Understand clearly which solution goes into the conical flask and which goes into the burette. Make sure you convert all volumes into litres i.e. 10ml aliquots from a pipette is 0.010L • Record the given concentration on your sheet • Concentration of standard sodium hydroxide solution = _____________ mol L1 • 3. Rule up a table to record your titrations. Titre = final reading – start reading GZ Science resources 2013
Concordant titres • At least 3 titrations must be within 0.2ml of each other to be concordant at Excellence level • Any titres not falling within this range must be discarded and not used in the average. • If more there are more than 3 concordant titres within this range they will be included in the average calculation EXAMPLE successive titrations – 24.50 mL, 23.25 mL, 23.35 mL and 23.28 mL. 23.35mL – 23.25mL = 0.10ml This difference is less than 0.2ml allowed, and 23.28 falls within this range so all three are used. 24.50mL falls outside this range so is discarded. v = (23.35mL + 23.28mL + 23.25mL) ÷ 3 = 23.29mL = 0.0233L GZ Science resources 2013
Titration calculations c = n/v EXAMPLEA standard solution of 0.180 mol L1 hydrochloric acid was titrated against 25.0 mL samples of a solution of sodium carbonate. The following volumes of hydrochloric acid solution were used in successive titrations – 24.50 mL, 23.25 mL, 23.35 mL and 23.28 mL. The equation for the reaction is Na2CO3 + 2 HCl 2 NaCl + CO2 + H2O Use this information to determine the concentration of the sodium carbonate solution. Give your answer to three significant figures. Na2CO3 + 2HCl → 2NaCl + CO2 + H2O v = 0.0250L v = 0.0233L (concordant titres) c =? c = 0.180molL-1 Write down the equation with the known information underneath n = c x v n = 0.180molL-1x 0.0233L n = 4.19 x 10-3mol c = n / v c =2.10 x 10-3 mol /0.0250L c = 8.39 x 10-2molL-1 1 1. Calculate moles of known. 2. convert mole ratios. 3. calculate concentration of unknown. 3 2 2 moles of HCl forms 1 mole of Na2CO3 So n (Na2CO3) = n(HCl) ÷ 2 = (4.19 x 10-3) ÷ 2 = 2.10 x 10-3mol GZ Science resources 2013
