Learn how to prepare and standardize a primary standard solution for quantitative analysis, using sodium carbonate to calibrate acids via titration and calculate concentrations.
Learn to perform volumetric titrations, process results, and incorporate dilution factors into calculations for accurate standard solutions and titration data interpretation.
Use back titration to determine calcium carbonate in marble by reacting with excess hydrochloric acid and titrating the leftover with sodium hydroxide. Apply dilution and stoichiometry to compute mass.
Learn how colorimetry uses absorbance to quantify ion concentrations with a colorimeter, build calibration curves from standards, and calculate metal mass and percent by mass from unknown samples.
Explore complexometric titration using EDTA to quantify nickel ions in nickel sulfate, following a 1:1 metal-to-EDTA ratio with the excite indicator.
Learn gravimetric analysis by measuring masses to determine compound formulas, converting hydrated to anhydrous forms, and using precipitation and constant-mass techniques for accurate mole calculations.
In this course you will learn both the processes involved and the common calculations for the major laboratory techniques required for quantitative analytical chemistry. By the end of this course, you will become familiar with the following:
How to make a standard solution using a primary standard.
How to standardise a solution.
How to carry out volumetric titrations and deal with dilution factors.
Why and how to perform a back titration.
