A reagent, termed the titrant or titrator, [2] is prepared as a standard solution of known concentration and volume. The titrant reacts with a solution of analyte (which may also be termed the titrand [3]) to determine the analyte's concentration. The volume of titrant that reacted with the analyte is termed the titration volume.
Differences in the temperature between the titrant and the titrand; Evaporative losses from the surface of the rapidly mixed fluid; Heats of solution when the titrant solvent is mixed with the analyte solvent; Heat introduced by the mechanical action of stirring (minor influence); and; Heat produced by the thermistor itself (very minor influence).
Titration is a family of techniques used to determine the concentration of an analyte. [8] Titrating accurately to either the half-equivalence point or the endpoint of a titration allows the chemist to determine the amount of moles used, which can then be used to determine a concentration or composition of the titrant.
The ratio of peak areas between the internal standard and analyte is calculated to determine analyte concentration. [12] A common type of internal standard is an isotopically labeled analogue of the analyte, which incorporates one or more atoms of 2 H, 13 C, 15 N and 18 O into its structure. [13]
Depending on whether the reaction between the titrant and analyte is exothermic or endothermic, the temperature will either rise or fall during the titration. When all analyte has been consumed by reaction with the titrant, a change in the rate of temperature increase or decrease reveals the equivalence point and an inflection in the ...
In thermometric titrations, a constant addition rate of titrant equates to a constant amount of heat being given out or consumed, and hence a more or less constant temperature change up to the endpoint. In a titration, the titrant reacts with the analyte in the sample either exothermically or endothermically.
After enough titrant has been added to react completely with the analyte, the excess titrant may itself be reduced at the working electrode. Since this is a different species with different diffusion characteristics (and different half-reaction ), the slope of current versus added titrant will have a different slope after the equivalence point.
The pH after the equivalence point depends on the concentration of the conjugate base of the weak acid and the strong base of the titrant. However, the base of the titrant is stronger than the conjugate base of the acid. Therefore, the pH in this region is controlled by the strong base. As such the pH can be found using the following: [1]
