-compounds with different colors in oxidized vs. reduced form -to see mixture of the two forms as one color must have at least 10X excess of one of either the oxidized or the reduced form of the indicator -redox indicators change color over range E^(degree sign) +/- 0.05916/n -absolute value of [E^(standard analyte) - E^(standard titrant)] > 0.4 V to use the color changing indicator *redox indicator needs to be above 0.4 V to be of any use
Carboxylic acids and amines
-carboxylic acids *acetic acid is a good example of a carboxylic acid that is a weak acid *ammonium ions are good weak acids too **R3NH+ -amines *carboxylic anions (RCO2-) and amines (R3N) are good weak bases
preparative chromatography
-carried out on a large scale to isolate a significant quantity of one or more components of a mixture -purification of solutes -use a short and fat column that handles larger qualities of substance better but has worse resolution *may be expensive to buy and hard to operate
Kw

Field Blanks
-collected in field: quality testing
Relative uncertainty
-compares absolute uncertainty with its associated measurement -relative uncertainty = absol. uncert. / mag. of measurement -ex. buret reading is 12.65 +/- 0.02 -- the relative uncert. is 0.02/12.65 = 0.0016

analytical chromatography
-conducted on a small scale to separate, identify, and measure components of a mixture -uses a long thin column to obtain a good resolution -looking at what is in our mixture, what is present? 1. Qualitatively: identify compounds by retention times 2. Quanitatively: identify and quanitfy compounds *how much of each compound is present -small-scale analysis
Saturated solution
-contains all of the dissolved solid possible under given conditions *aka a solution that contains all solid capable of being dissolved*
Faraday constant
-coulombs / moles
base
-decreases the concentration of H3O+ in aq. solution (increases OH- in soluntion, hydroxide ion) -Bronsted/Lowry def: base is a proton acceptor, gains a proton *OH- would accept a proton to become H2O
micropipettes
-deliver volumes of 1-1000 uL
why are larger particles better for gravimetric work
-easy to filter -easy to wash free of impurities -purer than precipitates made up of fine particles
Coulomb
-electrical charge is measured in coulombs -equal to Amperes * seconds (Ampere is a measure of current)
Weak acids and bases
-equil. lies on the side of the weaker acid and weaker base -weak acid where K << 1, Ka and/or Kb << 1 -weaker acid is weaker than H3O+ -must consider equil. with these types of problems -weak acid, reactant side -weak acids: HA and BH+ -weak bases: A- and B
properties of light
-if a color is absorbed by a compound, than that is not the color we will see -the color we will see is the one opposite on the color wheel -- aka the light that will be visble to us is opposite the color wheel to the light that is absorbed -ROYGBV
closed shell molecules
-in the ground state, all the electrons are paired up -ground state -- labeled S0 because it is the singlet state
sources of systematic error
-instrumental -method -personal
Qsp
-it is the same as the solubility constant for a reaction in which a solid salt dissolves into its ions -EXCEPT this Qsp refers to NON-STANDARD conditions, where Ksp refers to standard conditions -same idea as the regular equilbrium constant and Q -in a purely saturated solution, Qsp = Ksp -percipitant starts when Qsp = Ksp -soluibility of a salt refers to mol/L of the solid salt that can be dissolved to give a saturated solution under standard conditions
nucleation
-large number of particles -small size particles -dominant in solutions with increasing relative supersaturation (colloidal solution)
p function
-log[x]
population vs sample
-population: collection of all possible measurements from a whole population -sample: portion of all possible measurements from a population ("sample/selection" from a given population)
coagulation of colloids
-positive ions around lattice attract negative ions in layer and causes double ionic layer which prevents lattice from growing in size and precipitating
particle size of precipitate is influenced by
-precipitate solubility -temperature -reactant concentrations -rate at which reactants are mixed
precipitation from homogeneous solution process
-precipitating agen is generated in a solution of analyte by a slow chemical reaction -local reagent excess do not occur -as result, relative supersaturation is kept low
Standard reduction potential (SRP)
-predicting the voltage when different half-cells are connected to each other; E^degree symbol are measured through a standardized experiment -the SRP is the DIFFERENCE between the standard potential of the rxn of interest and the potential of of SHE (which you can set to = 0)
electronic tranisitions
-promoting an electron from 1 MO to a higher MO -examples: *electronic transition = UV-Vis *vibrational transition = IR *rotational transition = mircowave -EVERY molecule will have lowest E state - aka ground state (1 ground state per molecule) -any higher energy state = excited state -absorbance goes from ground to excited state
Propagation of uncertainty

acids and bases
-the stronger the CA, the weaker the CB -the weaker the WA, the stronger the CB (just a comparison) -strength depends on a Ka but can look at it qualitatively too -pH depends on BOTH Ka and concentration -
Gravimetric titration
-the titrant is measured by mass and not volume -titrant concentration is expressed as moles of reagent/kg of solution -provides 3X more precision than volumetric titration -can use a pipet rather than a buret in gravimetric titration -always better to use gravimetric titration -- should be the standard
***T-test
-there are two different routes you can go with the T-test depending on whether or not you passed the F test -student's t compared the means from experiments to be used in the confidence interval 2 CASES OF THE T-TEST: 1. if we PASS the F-test, standard devs. are statistically the same, we use the t-test where you have to calculate Spooled 2. if we FAIL the F-test, standard devs. are sig. different, we used the t-test where there is no Spooled *need to caculate the degrees of freedom to see where to look on the Ttable What to do with the results: -if the Tcalc > Ttable than the difference is statistically significant *greater than 95% that the difference is sig. -if Ttable > Tcalc, the means are not statistically different *less than 95% confident that the difference is sig.
common ion effect
-there is more than one source of (one of) the ions in the salt -a salt is less soluble in solution if one of its consitient ions is already present in the solution *due to the nature of Le Chatelier's principle -in these types of problems, need to add the M of the ion in solution to the other ion in the ICE table
Blank titration
-there is no analyze present in the solution -you just have your titrant -just gives us how much titrant it takes to react with the indicator -volume at the equiv point = volume at end point - volume of blank *blank is used as a standard
Strong acid and bases
-they completely dissociate in aqueous solution -meanign equil. constants are quite large for these -if a strong acid is when K >> 1, Ka and/or Kb >> 1 -strong acid and base, product side -strong acid is stronger than H3O+ -can assume these reactions go to completion, treat them as at 'equilibrium'
Nernst equation
-this is the Nernst equation at 25 degrees C -there is a different Nernst equation that is not at 25 degrees C -expresses net driving force for a redox reaction -changing the coefficients in a reaction (like changing the balanced equation) -it is an intensive property, it does not matter how much you have but it is the driving force of the redox reaction
Kf
-this is the equilibrium constant for the reaction of a metal with a ligand -called the formation constant or stability constant -formation constants for ETDA complexes are large and tend to be larger for more positively charged metal ions *NOTE: Kf is defined for reaction of the species Y4- with the metal ion, and at low pH, it is not always in this form (Y4- form shown in attached image)
colloidal suspension
-tiny particles (10^-7 to 10 ^-4) cm in diameter -show no tendency to settle from solutions -difficult to filter
pH
-to find pH you need to find the H+ concentration in solution
oxidation and reduction basics
-to say something was oxidized means it lost electrons -to say something was reduced means it gained electrons

Error propagation -- only regarding random error in an experiment
1. Addition and Subtraction -use absolute uncertainties -equation: Easbol. = sqrt( (e1^2 + e2^2 + e3^2....) ) -relative uncertainty can be found at the end of the absolute uncertainty calcs. 2. Multiplication and Division -use percent relative uncertainty to calculate the uncertainty and absolute uncertainty can be calculated at the end of these problems -first you need to convert absolute uncertainties to relative uncertainties, do the calculation and then multiply the relative uncert. by the measurement and that gives you your absolute uncert. 3. Mixed Operations -say you have a problem that has addition and then division -first you convert the numerator to absol. error and then you convert num. and denom. to relative error and solve for relative error -once you have that, just multiply by the numerical measurement answer and that will give you your absol. uncert.

Curve Creation
- linear range or dynamic range - always make a graph - *****six calibration concentration. with three replicate measurements. ******
Mass per unit volume
- mg/L -mg/dL -ug/mL
Never trust a Pipet
- micropipettes can have gross errors - as internal parts wear out, both precision and accuracy can decline by an order of magnitude
Interlaboratory
- multiple labs do analysis
Reagent blanks
- not matrix -doesn't go through analytical process
Samples
- objects or the portions we select and analyze - for a small set of results, we can estimate perameters that describe a larger set
Burets
- precisely manufactured glass tube with graduations - measure the volume of liquid through a stopcock -different classes --> class A: most accurate -read meniscus at eye-level -->parallax error: not read at eye level
Gaussian curve
- probabiity of observing a value within a certain interval is proportional to the area of that interval
Method Validation
- process of proving that an analytical method is acceptable for its intended purpose
performance test sample
- provided unknown checked by someone else - so you arent biased
Robustness
- provides meaningful results even when chemical interference are present - Interference is ignored
confidence interval
- range
Confidence Intervals (CI)
- range of values within which there is a specified probability of finding the population mean --> the pop. mean is likely to lie within a certain distance from the measured mean
analytical balance
- reads from .001 mg -200 g
RSD
- relative standard deviation - = standard deviation /mean
Intermediate precision
- ruggedness - variation when the method is ran by multiple people on the same day
Intra-assay precision
- same person, on the same day, with the same equipment, doing an analysis several times
Calibration curves
- show response of an analytical method to known quantities of an analyte
Uncertainty
- shows range of possible values that the 'true' value might reasonably be expected to have. Every measurement has some uncertainty
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
- shows steps taken, specific to how instruments work and are maintained
Lower LoQ
- signal that is 10 times greater than noise - smallest amount that can be measured with reasonable accuracy 10s/m
LoQ
- smallest amount that can be measured with reasonable accuracy - 10s/m
LoD
- smallest quantity of analyte that is significantly different than the blank and defined by the signal to noise ration
Gaussian Distribution
- smooth bell-shaped distribution superimposed on the data -the most probable in the center
Blank solution.
- solution. containing all reagents and solvents used in the analysis but no analyte is added - blank value is subtracted from measured values of standards prior to constructing the calibration curve
Student's t-Test
- statistical tool used to express confidence intervals and compare results from different experiments Three cases 1) Comparing a measured result with a 'known' value 2-1) comparing replicate measurements with similar standard deviation 2-2) comparing replicate measurements with significantly different standard deviation 3) comparing differences of individual measurements of different samples obtained using different methods
Use Objectives
- tells us why we are getting data - states the purpose for which results will be used
Selectivity
- the capability of responding reliably and measurably to changed in analyte .concentration
the broader the distribution
- the larger the standard deviation
confidence level
- the level at which we choose that confidence
Detection Limit
- the lowest amount of the analyte that can generate a 'significant' signal from the blank - significantly different from the blank GENERAL RULE: -analyte concentration. that give a signal that is 3 times the blank
the smaller standard deviation
- the more percise -data more clustered near the mean
Instrument Precision
- varibility when analyzing the same sample repeatedly on one instrument
Control charts
- visual representation of confidence intervals over time -allows us to watch for deviations - allows us to monitor performance on blanks, calibration checks, and spikes
Volumetric Glassware
- volumetric glassware is colibrated by weighing water contained in or delivered by the vessel - in the most careful work, solution concentrations and volumes of vessels should be corrected for changes in temp -contains a particular vol. of solution -bottom of meniscus should be at the line
Raw data
- what we measure - individual measurements of a measured quantity
False-positive
- would say that the concentration . exeeds the legal limit but is in fact below
False-negative
- would say the concentration. is below the legal limit but in fact exceeds .
As x--> inf.
- x--> mu - s--> sigma
Beer's law
-1 molecule will absorb 1 photon and 1 photon can only be absorbed by 1 molecule -E (molar absorbtivity constant) per bond is = hc/ wavelength *no control over E, constant
Procedure that produces a detection limit greater than blank
-1) estimate detection limit, prepare samples w/ concentration. 1-5 times greater than detection limit 2) measure teh signal from n replicate samples 3) calc. standard deviation 4) measure the signal from n blanks (no analyte) and find mean of Yblanks 5) find minimum detectable signal 6) corrected signal is proportional to the sample concentration.
Carbon isotopes
-13C is only 1.1% of 12C abundance so this is MUCH LESS abundant than 12C -not like Cl or BR isotopes, one has MUCH MORE abundance than other isotopes
***Strong acid
-6 common strong acids 1. HCl, hydrochloric acid 2. HBr, hydrogen bromide 3. HI, hydrogen iodide 4. H2SO4, sulfuric acid -- notes that this is a diprotic acid *only the first proton ionization goes to completion and need to look at equil. for the second one 5. HNO3, nitric acid 6. HClO4, perchloric acid *also note that HF is not a strong acid *Ka >> 1
Why do atomic lines have width? -- Doppler effect
-Doppler effect means atoms moving towards or away from the light source "see" a different wavelength than a stationary atom *energy absorbed remains the same *moving towards the light source, atoms "see" smaller wavelength than the actual wavelength (aka absorbs 532.5nm, but sees 532.5 as 532.4 nm -- no absorption change though) -the faster the atoms are moving, the bigger effect they have -and the higher the temp, the greater the doppler broadening is
Ecell
-Ecell = Ecathode - Eanode *can do this same reaction with SRP -the E with the degree sign signals standard conditions -by convention, E^(standard) = E(standard cathode) - E(standard SHE) = E^(standard cathode)
Accuracy
-How close a "measured" value is to the "true" value *nearness to "the truth"
for MS problems
-If H+ and OH- present as MS in a reaction, limiting reagent problem, using a mole table -If only weak species present: WA uses ICE table with Ka, WB uses ICE table with Kb, and WA and WB uses H-H equation
When using assumptions in solubility problems
-If the assumption is true, it does not create a contradiciton -If the assumption is false, it does create a contradiction -You need to test whethere or not the assumption was correct at the end of a problem -Ex. (x)(2x + 0.030)^2 = 7.9 * 10^-9 *assume that 2x << 0.030 so can eliminate 2x from the problem and just solve (x)(0.030)^2 = 7.9 * 10^-9 *once you solve for x, just multiply it by 2 and see if it is in fact << 0.030 and if it is, than can leave it this way and if not, redo the problem
pka and pH relationship
-If the pH is lower than the pKa, then the compound will be protonated *pka > pH, protonate -If the pH is higher than the pKa, then the compound will be deprotonated *pH > pka, deprotonate -a further consideration is the charge on the compound *acids are neutral when protonated and negatively charged (ionized) when deprotonated
Overloading a column
-If you overload a column with too much solute/mixture or at a too high concentration of that mixture, the solute will not be able to interact with MP particles
Galvanic cell (aka voltaic)
-In this type of cell, a spontaneous chemical reaction generates electricity *aka a spontaneous redox reaction generates electricity (a flow of electrons) -physically sperate oxidized and reduced species -anions flow toward the anode and cations flow toward cathode
Partition chromatography
-Involves a thin liquid stationary phase coated on the surface of a solid support -Solute partitions between stationary and mobile phase to different degrees
Indicator
-Is a compound with a physical property (usually color) that changes abruptly when the titration is complete
Titration
-Is a procedure in which increments of a known reagent -- the titrant -- are added to analyte until the reaction between the titration and the analyte is complete -The analyte has an unknown concentration -Common types of titrations: 1. acid-base 2. oxidation-reduction 3. complex formation 4. precipitiation reactions -In all titration reactions, we need to know when the analyte is completely used up -Titration reactions must be quick and reach completion (which means a high K, strong forward reaction)
buffer
-Is a solution that RESISTS changes in pH when a SA or SB is added -Typically consists of a WA and WB soln. -Contains species that can react with H+ and OH- and turn them into something else *WA and WB conjugate pair normally -The buffering region is about 1 pH unit on either side of the pKa of the conjugate acid -a buffer resists chnages in pH because the added acid or base is consumed by the buffer *as the buffer is used up, it becomes less resistant to changes in pH -pH of a buffer does NOT change very much when a limited amount of strong acid or strong base is added because it is consumed by B or BH+ -FOR BUFFER PROBLEMS, CAN USE MOLES FOR CALCULATIONS INSTEAD OF [ ]'s
temperature stability
-Is most important in atomic EMISSION (AES) -ICP is the best atomizer for AES because most stable temp. -the smaller number of atoms being probed, the bigger temperature fluctuations matter
Equivalence point
-Is reached when the quantity of titrant added is the exact amount needed for stiochiometric reaction with the analyte *where all the analyte is used up and there is no excess titrant -What we actually measure as the equiv. point is the end point = when one of the detection methods signals the end of titration *sudden change of physical property of the solution (normally color change) -Titration error = difference between equivalence point and end point
Precision
-It is a measure of the reproducibility of a result
Weighing by difference
-Necessary for hydroscopic reagents -sample to be used is dried in a weighing bottle -set initial mass of weighing bottle to zero -quickly deliver the dry reagent from the bottle to the receiver -cap and reweigh bottle -the negative reading on the balance is the mass of the reagent delivered from bottle
Titrants used-- Primary Standards
-Primary Standard = is a reagent that is pure enough to weigh out and directly use directly to provide a known number of moles -Common primary standards: 1. sodium carbonate, Na2CO3 (weak base) 2. TRIS or THAM, (CH2OH)3CNH2 (weak base) 3. KHP, KHC8H4O4 (weak acid) 4. potassium hydrogen diiodate, KH(IO3)2 (weak acid) 5. potassium dichromate, K2Cr2O7 (redox standard) 6. AgNO3 -Primary standard should be 99% pure or better and not contmainated with any other species *cannot decompose and should be stable when dried or heated because drying is required to remove traces of water from the atomosphere *most things are not avaiable as primary standard so use secondary standards -NaOH and KOH are NOT PRIMARY STANDARDS
SA and SB reactions
-SA and SB are strong enough to force reaction to completion to need to have a relatively large K vaule to be able to do this *driving forward reaction -the pH of a buffer is nearly independent of dillution
SA/SB Titration
-SA is the analyte -SB is the titrant *the SA is being titrated by the SB -acid/base titration = transfer 1 H+ *so 1:1 stoichiometry *equiv. point: mol acid = mol base -the MS effecting this reaction and pH are H+ and OH- -pH = 7.00 at equiv. point before equiv. pnt., xs SA so pH < 7 after EP, xs SB so pH > 7 -know that the pH at equiv. point is 7 here and after equiv. point, more basic, and before equiv. point more acidic
Titrants used-- Secondary Standards
-Secondary standard: a solution that has approximately the desired concentration is used to tirtate a weighed, primary standard *a solution that is titrated with a primary standard *from the volume of the titrant required to to react with the primary standard, we can calculate the concentration of the titrant *the titrant is the standard solution -Standardization: the process of titrating a standard to determine the concentration of titrant
Sig figs and certainties
-THE FIRST UNCERTAIN FIGURE IS THE LAST SIGNIFCANT FIGURE -even if that makes the result break the sig fig rules -absolute error only have 1 sig fig and its position related to the decimal point dictates the last sig fig in the answer -HOWEVER, when the first digit in the absolute uncert. is 1, we can have 2 sig figs in the absol uncertainty
WA/SB titration
-WA is the analyte (unknown) and SB is the titrant (known) -in a WA problem, the pH is normally more than 7 at equiv. point because it takes so long for analyte to react fully with SB -the pH = pka where the buffer line is (flat line section) -rapid increase of pH to start with and then smooths out
Indicator with acids and bases
-WA/WB conjugate pair where acid and base form present in different colors -if we have a 10 fold excess of one form of WA or WB, can see just that one indicator color -inidcators change color over the pH range -choose this based off which Pka, ind is as close to equiv. point as possible *change color over pH range of +/- 1.00
WB/SA titration
-WB is the analyze and SA is the titrant -rapid fall off of pH to start but rate slows down -this can be a buffer problem -equiv. point is most likely less than 7 -xs SA after the equiv. point
Practicing assigning oxidation numbers in a redox reaction
-When something gets oxidized, its oxidation number increases (gets more positive or less negative) -When something gets reduced, its oxidation number decreases (gets more negative or less positive)
Back titration
-a KNOWN EXCESS of standard reagent is added to the analyte (the excess occurs beyond the equivalence point) -then a second standard reagent is used to titrate the excess of the first reagent (you are determining the amount of excess there is from the first reaction) -back titrations are useful when the end point of the back titration is clearer than the end point of the direct titration of when an excess of the first reagent is required for complete reaction with analyte
Electrolysis
-a chemical reaction in which we apply a voltage to drive a redox reaction that would not otherwise occur *aka applying a current to drive a non-spontaneous rxn -outside power source -electroactive species: is one that can be oxidized or reduced at an electrode
Electrodes
-a device to conduct electrons into or out of the chemicals involved in a redox reaction *aka use electrodes to shuttle electrons in and out of solution -if the electrode is part of the reaction = active electrode -if the electrode is not part of the reaction itself = passive electrode
***EDTA back titration
-a known excess of EDTA is added to analyte -EDTA is then titrated with a standard solution of metal ion -back titration is necessary if analyte percipitates in the absence of EDTA, if the analyte reacts too slowly with EDTA, OR if the analyte blocks the inhibitor -essentially the excess EDTA is the analyte and the metal ion is the titrant (so do not use metal that displaces analyte from EDTA) -an EDTA back titration can prevent precipitation of an analyte Steps: 1. metal ion is your analyte, add excess EDTA 2. the total EDTA = reacts metal ion and excess EDTA 3. now treat excess EDTA as the analyte and use the metal ion as the titrant
masking agent
-a masking agent protects some component of a mixture from reaction with EDTA -a reagent added to prevent reaction of some metal ion with EDTA -demasking: refers to the release of a metal ion from a masking agent -Cyanide is an example of a good masking agent *can form complexes with Cd2+, Zn2+, Hg2+, Co2+, Cu2+, Ag+, Ni2+, Pd2+, Pt2+, Fe2+, and Fe3+, BUT NOT WITH Mg2+, Ca2+, Mn2+, or Pb2+ *so, when CN- is added to a solution containing Cd2+ and Pb2+, the CN- will react with the Cd2+ to form a complex while the Pb2+ will react with EDTA -Fluoride can mask Al3+, Fe3+, Ti4+, and Be2+
Neutralization reaction
-a neutralization reaction is when an acid and a base react to form water and a salt and involves the combination of H+ ions and OH- ions to generate water -the neutralization of a strong acid and strong base has a pH equal to 7
Acidic vs. Basic
-a solution is acidic if [H+] > [OH-], where the pH is below 7 -a solution is basic if [OH-] > [H+], where the pH is above 7 -if the pH = 7, the solution is said to be neutral -- blood pH ~ 7.4
evaluating a spectrum
-cannot determine number of compounds just from the spectrum --spectra by itself cannot tell us much about the mixtures in the solution
chromatography terminology
-aDsorption: sticking to a solid surface -mobile phase: solvent mobing through a column (gas or liquid) *in gas chrom. = MP is a gas *in liquid chrom. = MP is a liquid -stationary phase: the substance that stays fixed inside the column is usually a solid or a liquid and is covalently bonded to solid particles or to the inside wall of of a hollow capillar column -eluent: fluid that is entering the column -eluate: fluid exiting the column -eultion: moving through the column (process or l or g passing through the column) -chrom. can be classified by the type of interaction of the solute with the stationary phase
Systematic error
-also called a determinate error -is repeatable if you make the measurement over again in the same way -in theory, a systematic error can be discovered and corrected if you catch it -error within the system itself -- it could be an error in a buret or pH meter -this type of error skews the data in the same direction by ~ the same amount every time/ every measurement -could be relative or absolute error -can normally eliminate systematic error through the calibration of your instruments
Random error
-also called indeterminate error -this type of error skews from the true value in either direction, different amounts each time -it is hard to determine the source of this error and hard to correct it -- random error cannot be eliminated -mulitple trials of the same experiment could help lessen random error though -could be different people reading the same instrument
Molecular exclusion chromatography
-also called size exclusion, gel filtration or gel permeation chromatography -seperates molecules by size, with the larger molecules passing through the fastest -no attractive interactions between SP and solutes -SP has pores small enough for only small molecules to pass through, excludes the large molecules from passing through -large molecules stream through SP without entering channels/pores -small molecules take longer to pass through column because enter pores and therefore flow through a larger volume
multidentate ligand
-also known as a chelating ligand -meaning the ligand essentially engulfs the metal ion much like a lobster would grab an object
Conditional formation constant
-also known as the effective formation constant -this describes the formation of the metal-EDTA complex at any particular pH -we see that metal-EDTA complexes are less stable at lower pHs
Coulometry
-analysis by electron counting *aka electrons participating in a chemical reaction are counted to learn how much analyte reacted -using a CONSTANT current for a MEASURED amount of time ---> total coulmbs needed ---> moles of electrons transferred ---> moles of analyte (NEED TO USE ALL ANALYTE)
EDTA direct titration
-analyte is titrated with standard EDTA -an auxilary complexing agent may be required to maintain the metal ion in solution in absence of EDTA -analyte: metal ion titrant: EDTA -add titrant to anlyte solution until end point is observed
indirect titration of anions
-anions that precipitate metal ions can be analyzed with EDTA by indirect titration -analyte = nonmetal complex -you react analyte with a metal ion to form a known complex, and then redissolve collected solid and do direct titration on metal ion -precipitate is then reacted with excess EDTA to bring the metal ion back into solution -the excess EDTA is titrated with Mg2+ solution
Voltaic cell basics
-anode: where the oxidation occurs *on the left side of galvanic cell -cathode: where the reduction occurs *on the right side of the galvanic cell -electrons always move towards more positive electric potential -can normally see all half-reactions as reductions
Pressure broadening (one of the main sources of line broadening)
-as atoms collide, electron cloud deforms -the energy of atomic orbitals change (delta E b/t orbitals changes) -higher pressure induces more broadening (PV = nRT)
Equilibrium constant, K
-at equilibrium, both the forward and reverse rates of reaction are equal -the ratio in the equation can be more accurately described as a ratio of activities rather than a ratio of concentrations -the reaction is "favored" whenever K > 1, K being the eqilibrium coefficient -the formula is a ratio of products over reactants -concentrations of pure solids (s) or pure liquids (l) are to be OMITTED from the eqilibrium formula (because they are in unity) -all concentrations used in the formula should be expressed in M (moles per L) -if two reactions are added, the new K is the product of the original two K's (the two reactions or just added and therefore just multiply their K's together) -reversed reaction: 1/K
Ligand
-atom or group of atoms that bind to a metal ion
auxiliary complexing agent and when it is used
-between pH 9-12, it may be necessary to use an auxilary complexing agent which forms a weak complex with the metal ion and keeps it in solution -the auxilary complexing agent is displaced by EDTA during titration -some examples of these complexing agents include ammonia, tartrate, citrate, trethanolamine, etc. -these agents prevent metal ions from percitpating in the absence of EDTA
crystalline suspension
-bigger particles, tenths of a millimiter or greater -tend to settle spontaneously -easily filtered
atomic spectroscopy
-breaking down molecules to atoms and measuring absorption or emission of those atoms
theoretical plates
-can imagine moving through the column as a series of regions of equillibration or plates -number of plates we use/calculate depends on the solute -if N = # of plates and H = plate height, then H = L / N, where L = column length *all plates in a column have the same height -But, if looking at different chrom. columns, the plates with wider heights have wider peaks While, the plates with the smaller heights have narrower peaks -the bigger resolution, the better seperation on the plates *resolution = telling two peaks apart quanitatively -the longer the solute spends on a column, the wider it will be
endpoint with EDTA
-can see the physical change (color change) once all metal ions are bound to the ligand
how to treat polyprotic acids
-can treat as fully protonated form of AA as monoprotic *use ICE table with Kas -and can treat full depronated form as monobasic *use ICE table with Kbs -ka1 is when loses first H and ka2 is when loses second H *lose one H from carboxlyic acid and one H from amino group -ka1 refers to the most acidic ion (which is on carboxyl group)
derivative graph
-equivalence point is point of max rate of change (in these types of graphs, highest curve when looking at y-axis height) -shows the change in slope of the titration curve as a function of the added volume of base -the first deriv. can also be referred to as "the slope," and the second deriv. can be referred to as "the slope of the slope" *end point is at the max slope for first deriv. *for the second derivative, the slope is 0 for the end point -the peaks in deriv. 1 and 2 match up (but look like opposites?)
gaussian distribution
-essentially just a normal, bell-shaped distribution -mean locates the center of the curve (the sample mean) -standard dev. measures the width of the curve (sample standard dev.) *the smaller the s, the more precise (reproducible) your results are, but greater precision does not always mean greater accuracy
phosphorescence
-excited state to ground state with photon emission on a long time scale (relatively) -absorbance is always from ground to excited state while emission could be from excited to ground state -the photons in the HOMO and LUMO diagram are the SAME direction for both arrows
fluorescence
-excited state to ground state with photon emission on a short scale -giving off light around the same time as absorbance of photons -absorbance is always from ground to excited state while emission could be from excited to ground state -the photons in the HOMO and LUMO diagram are OPPOSITE direction for both arrows
Absolute uncertainty
-expresses the margin of uncertainty associated with a measurement -ex. a calibrated buret is +/- 0.02 error -- that is the absolute uncertainty in that buret
Ion exchange chromatography
-features ionic groups such as -SO3- or -N(CH3)3+ covalently added to the stationary solid phase (normally a resin, fir or pine needles) -MP is a liquid -solute ions are attached to stationary phase through electrostatic forces -ionic groups on surface of SP attact some solute groups more than others
spectrophotometric titration
-following a titration by absorbance -follwoing absorbance of the product would give the best results
dissociation constants explained
-for a solution with a very weak K1 and an even weaker K2, can make the assumption that it behaves like a monoprotic acid and does not lose both protons -so Ka = K1 ex. if K1= 4.7 10^-3 and K2 = 1.8 10^-10 -generally, a solution of diprotic acid behaves like a solution of monoprotic acid with Ka = K1
sig figs with logs and antilogs
-for logs and taking the antilog (ln), in the result, only the numbers/units after the decimal place are considered significant so you need to count the sig figs in the answer starting after the decimal place
Sig figs in addition and subtraction
-for numbers with exponents, express all numbers with the same exponent and alig all numbers with respect to their decimal points when setting up the problem -round off the answer according to the number of decimal places in the number with the fewest decmial places (sig. figs. go according to DECIMAL PLACES)
EDTA displacement titration
-for some metal ions, there is never a good indicator, but a displacement titration can still work -analyte is the metal ion, titrant is the metal-EDTA complex -analyte is treated with excess metal ion-EDTA complex to displace the metal ion, which is then later titrated with standard EDTA -so the second half of this is direct titration -requires that original metal-EDTA complex has a higher Kf than xs metal-EDTA complex -need a high K value for this reaction
***dominant form***
-form of acid or base present in highest concentration in soln. -when pH = pka, [base] = [acid] -if the pH > pka, the base is in the dominant form (deprotonated) -if the pka > pH, the acid is in dominant form (protonated)
pH of SB in solution
-get [OH-] from the SB -if [OH-] > 10^-6, ignore [OH-] from water -if [OH-] < 10^-6, need to consider water when figuring out [OH-] concentration
Potentiometry
-getting chemical information by measuring potential differences -using voltage measurements to extract chemical information
confidence interval
-given the sample mean, give a range where we expect the true population value to fall within *in class we use the 95% CI
***"best buffer"
-has equal concentrations of WA and WB and LARGE concentrations too -if do not have WA and WB, the concentration of the WA or WB has to be > than the SA or SB in the solution to make it an okay buffer -choose buffer where pH ~ pka (as close to each other as possible) -need to be careful, as T changes, pka changes
polyprotic acids
-have more than one acidic proton -- can play with more than one H on a particular species -amino acids are polyprotic -- can react with the Hs from the amino group or the Hs from the carboxyl group -zwitterion = contains both positive and negative charges
Reducing and oxidizing agents
-higher (more positive) E^(standard V) are better oxidizng agents *the more positive the E, the more energetically favorable the half-reaction is *bigger tendency to accept electrons = better oxidizing agent and bigger E value *some of the better oxidizing agents are F2 (g) and O3 (g) -lower (more negative) E^(standard) makes it a better reducing agent because most likely to give up electrons *Li(s) and K(s) are the best reducing agents (E(standard) ~ -3)
atomizer -- furnace (oven)
-higher temp than flame and higher sensitivity (less sample and less concentration required) Pros: -allow for the pre-concentrating of the sample -less sample needed so works for cases where you have a limited sample Cons: -poorer reproducitily -- "hot spots in furnance that can shift each time" -more stages to optimize, not as easy to use as flame
Fractional dissociation
-how many acid molecules have dissociated over the total acid molecules -as concentration increases, pH goes down and fract. diss. goes down -[H+] / [F of soln.] *for weak acids I think?
***Major species***
-look at major species in buffer reactions -defined as species with NON-ZERO concentrations in the INITIAL row of an ICE table -want to list major species for most reactions and ALWAYS react strongest acid with strongest base present -list of major species and their categories: 1. SA: H+ (with a garbage base present) 2. SB: OH- (with garbage acid) 3. WA: HA 4. WB: B 5. Ionic: anion, cation
reference electrode
-maintains a fixed (reference) potential -provides a constant half-cell potential to measure up against Ecell = Eindicator - Ereference -common reference electrodes: 1. silver-silver chloride electrode 2. calomel electrode (Hg2Cl2) *you know it is this type of electrode when the cell is saturated with KCl *saturated calomel electrode (SCE)
Adsorption chromatography
-makes use of different adsorption characteristics of solutes for the stationary phase -use a solid stationary phase and l or g mobile phase -solute is absorbed on the surface of the solid particules
Info that a mass spec gives you
-mass spec shows isotope patterning. not the average of molar masses -gives you the nominal mass = is the mass of the MOST abundant isotope -the mass unit in mass spec is the dalton and it gives you the mass of one proton or neutron * dalton (da) = 1/12 for 12C
Strong electrolyte
-means a species mostly dissociates into ions in most soltuions -an example is magnesium chlroide, MgCl2 -- there is almost no MgCl2 present in seawater because it dissociates into Mg2+ and MgCl+ -the molarity of a strong electrolyte can be defined as formal concentration to indicate that the substance is really converted to other species in solution -molecular mass of a strong electrolyte is most correctly defined as formula mass because it is the sum of atomic mass in the formula, even though there may be few molecules with that formula actually present in solution
dual beam spectrophotometer
-measures blank and sample at the same time -contains a rotating mirror of sorts
Mass spectroscopy
-measures the masses and abundance of ions in the gas phase -species must have a charge to show up in the mass spec -you are indentifying compounds by mass here -measure mass to charge ratio for these molecules: Mass / Z (charge) -before separation into mass spec, molecules must be converted into ions and measured through mass to charge ratio
How do we find the end point for EDTA titrations?
-metal ion indicator: ligand with different color depending if bound or unbound to metal ion -for an indicator to be useful, it must bind metal less strongly than EDTA does so that in the reaction the metal ion can react (bind) with EDTA and un-bind with the indicator *the indicator must be able to give up its metal ion to EDTA *if the metal does not freely dissociate from the indicator, the metal is said to "block" the indicator -- the Kf indicator > Kf EDTA-complex, the solution will not change colors -one mole of EDTA reacts with one mole of metal ion
What happens if you want to titrate a mixture of metal ions?
-metal ion indicators can indicate the presence and/or absence of free metal ions -If you have a mixture of Ca2+, Mg2+, and Fe2+, you can only see the color change (endpoint) when all of these metal ions are bound to EDTA in solution -you could use a masking agent here for some of these metal ions if you do not want all of them to bind to EDTA in solution
Metal ions and weak acids
-metal ions with a charge of 2+ or greater are WAs -Fe3+ is a weak acid
Types of ionization methods:
-methods to convert molecules into ions 1. Electron ionization: hit molecule with high energy electron, which knocks off an electron from that molecule -make the molecule have a (+)-charge now -this often forms have energy molecular ions -this can also cause fragmentation which is when some molecules appear in the mass spec and some do not *this can be good because can give us structural info about the compound 2. Chemical ionization -use reagent gas (often methane) and ionize by electron ionization -gaseous ions collide with molecules and the charges get transferred
Minor and major species in a solution
-minor species in a solution = solute -major species in a solution = solvent
metal ions and EDTA
-most metal ions have 6 binding sites to use -EDTA is the most common hexadentate ion -- 6 binding sites -- ligands are lewis bases and donate electron pairs (for binding/bonds?) -kx means adding a single ligand at once and betax means adding multiple ligands at one time
metal ion binding sites
-most metal ions have six binding sites -EDTA is hexadentate (meaning that it has six binding sites and can donate 6 electron pairs at one time)
Affinity chromatography
-most selective kind of chromatography. -employs specific interactions between one kind of solute molecule and a second molecule that is covalently attached (immobilized) to the SP
denstisity
-number of electron pairs a ligand can donate at one time -monodentate: can only donate 1 electron pair at a time
PPM
-parts per million -can be defined as mg/L or micrograms/mL -where parts per billion (ppb) can be defined as micrograms/L or ng/mL -measures the amount/mass of substances per million parts of total solution or mixture -you can approximate 1 g of water with 1 mL of water which is where the units for this are derived from
Electrogravimetric analysis
-plate our analyte on electrode (~ cathode) -- measure mass difference of electrode before and after the reaction -analyte would be deposited on the cathode considerations for this: -need large surface area on electrode -need to know when the reaction is done a. disappearance of color b. do not expose the entire electrode to the solution at once *expose fresh electrode and look for evidence of depsoit *if the newly exposed surface has a deposit, electrolysis is done c. qualitative test for the analyte
chromatogram and how to read it
-results of a chromatography experiment -to = air or something that does not interact with the SP -tr = retention time (which is characteristic of each molecule) *different tr's at each peak in the graph *characteristic or each solute/MP /flow rate combination so changes with each molecule (solute) -tr' = tr - t0 = aka the adjusted retention time -1 peak per 1 solute and 1 solute per 1 peak -peaks in graph should be gaussian (follow "normal" curve distribution) -h = height of curve -W = width of curve -W 1/2 = width at half height where, 1/2 h = half height of curve
Cl mass pattern in mass spec
-see the isotope 35Cl and 37Cl in a 3:1 ratio on the mass spec 35Cl: 75% and 37Cl: 25%
Br pattern for mass spec
-see the isotopes for Br in a 1:1 ratio 79Br and 81Br come in a 1:1 ratio
particle growth
-small number of particles -large sized particles -dominant in solutions with low relative supersaturation (crystalline solution)
Titration of a mixture
-smaller Ksp means less soluble which means that the species with the smaller Ksp percipitates first -when the two Ksps are sig. different, the first ppt. reaction may be nearly complete before the second even begins -the less solube ion, with the lower Ksp is the first to percipitate, hence the first equiv. point
photo diode array
-some wavelengths get absorbed and some do not get absorbed *not wavelength by wavelength *measures all wavelengths that hit the prism but only select wavelengths hit the prism -photodiode measures all wavelengths that hit it -very fast (seconds) -less sensitive instrument (limited to approx. 2nm resolution)
Electrolyte
-species that dissociates into ions in an aqueous solution
Weak electrolyte
-species that only partially dissociates into ions when in solution (typically aqueous solution) *only a small portion of the molecules are split into ions in solution -an example of this is acetic acid -- only 12.4% dissociates with a formal concentration = 0.001 F
Precision
-standard deviation , CI, sigma(m) - Reproducibility (by you) & repeatability (evaluates the method by 3 people) -the reproduciblity or uncertainty in replicate measurements -usually expressed in standard deviation.
Le Chatlier's principle
-states that when a system experiences a disturbance (such as concentration, temperature, or pressure changes), it will respond to restore a new equilibrium state -temperature can have an effect on equilibrium (and so can pressure, as well as changing the concentration of a particular species in soln.) *in exothermic reactions, increase in temperature decreases the equilibrium constant, K, whereas, in endothermic reactions, increase in temperature increases the K value
acid
-substance that increases the concentration of H+ in aq. solution (H3O+, hydronium ion) -H+ is also known as a proton -Bronsted/Lowry def: acid is a proton donor, loses a proton *H3O+ would lose a proton to become H2O
chromatography
-technique for separating compounds in a mixture by passing a mixture through a solumn that retains some compounds longer than others -it is widely used for, 1. qualitative analysis: what is the identity of the compound? 2. quantitative: how much of a component is present?
Grubbs test for an outlier
-the Grubbs test will tell us whether or not we should eliminate a data point from our data set (normally test the max or the min as the outliers) -only remove ONE DATA POINT (only ONE) -use the equation in the image below for the Grubbs test, and if Gcalc > Gtable, than we eliminate that data point from the data set -after you remove a data point from a data set you have to recalculate the standard dev and the mean -if Gcalc > Gtable, <5% chance that the difference is due to random error so we remove this data point BUT, if Gtable > Gcalc, >95% chance that the difference is due to random error so we keep the data point
Absorbance total
-the absorbance at any wavelength is the sum of absorbance for each species in a mixture at that particular wavelength so, Atotal = A1 + A2 -- (ECL)1 (ECL)2 -to measure the concetration of all species in a solution, we need to measure as many absorbance wavelengths as we have solutes *need to be careful with indexing here*
Indicator electrode
-the electrode that responds directly to the analyte, either transferring electrons to or from the species of interest (analyte) -potential varies in response to analyte concentration -responds to analyte concentration -the potential of the indicator electrode is E+
SB/SA titration
-the equiv. point will still be at pH = 7 -it will start with a pH > 7 though because starting out with excess base -will go to pH < 7 after the equiv. point because you will have excess acid -the SB is the analyte and SA is the titrant
***[H+] in a problem***
-the max [H+] from water = 1.0 * 10^-7 -if [H+] from acid > 10^-6, can ignore [H+] from water -if [H+] from acid < 10^-6, calculate totals with concentration from water -calculate H+ using ICE table and then add the x you find to the concentration of the H+ already present
Reducing agents
-the molecule that is oxidized in the overall rxn -the products in the reduction half reaction
Oxidizing agents
-the molecule that is reduced in the overall rxn -these are the reactants in reduction 1/2 reactions
Formal potential
-the potential for a cell containing a specified concentration of reagent other than 1 M (aka the potential at non-standard conditions) -E without the degree symbol in exponent
quantitative separation
-the resolution needs to be greater than or equal to 2 -if greater than or equal to 2, it is said to be fully resolved -increasing the column length increases the resolution -if you double the column length, increases the resultion by ~sqrt(2), which ~ 1.41
single beam spectrophotometer
-the sample and the blank are measured by the detector at different points
Resolution (for chromatography)
-the smaller the plate H, the narrower the peaks, and the better separations you get *meaning, the narrower the peaks = better resolution
ppm (4 equiv)
1 microgram/ml, 1 mg/L, 1 x 10^-6 g/mL, 1 x 10^-3 g/L
Voltaic cells equilibrium
-under concentrated conditions where there is NO net driving force -there is NO VOLTAGE, V = 0.00 when the cell is at equilibrium -in this case, Q = K and the Ecell = 0 so have to rearrange Nernst equation -if there is a positive E(stand.) in standard states, the forward direction of the reaction is spontaneous, K > 1 if there is a negative E(stand) in standard states, reverse direction is spontaneous, K < 1
Helpful rules for mass spec
-use cluster calc., if you have a cluster of peaks, you can subtract the second peak from the original one and use this ratio to calculate your charge and then use the charge to get the entire mass (difference between cluster peaks should be ~ 1) -13C can be used to get amount of carbons in experiment: if you get the relative abund., can use this and the 12C abund. to calculate carbons in molecule 1.1% 13C * 12C [x] = 13 % (rel. abund.) 12C [x] = 11.8 = 12 12C in molecule
Monochrometer
-use diffraction grating to send different wavelengths to different points in space -how far apart two wavelengths are in space depends on the overall change in wavelengths -monchrometer bandwidth magnitude of range of x coming out of monochrometer *for example, monochrometer set to 450 nm with a 5 nm bandwidth -- 447.5 -452.5 coming out of the monochrometer -molecular absorbance bandwidth = range of wavelength molecule absorbs -the banwidth is normally smaller though, around 1cm -trade-off between resolution and signal: the narrower the exit slit, the greater the ability to resolve closely spaced peaks and the noiser the spectrum *thus, resolution of closely spaced bands, which require a narrow width slit, can be achieved at the expense of decreased signal-to-noise ratio -1/5 (absorb. bw) >/= (monochrometer bw)
Amperometry
-use magnitude of current, not the duration, to find the concentration -measure the electrical current between a pair of electrodes that are driving an electrolysis reaction -one of the reactants is the intended analyte and the measured current is proportional to concentration of analyte -at applied voltage, the amount of current is proportional to [ ] -concentration, voltage, and current are all related -single point measurments
Standard Addition
-use when calibration curve is unreliable - known quantites are added to an unknown to increase the concentration. of analyte - signal acquired - standard additions are especially useful when matrix effects are important - standard & analyte are the same substance
Acid/base titrations
-using a standard solution to measure a property of an analyte solution
volumetric titration
-using volume of added titrant (typically in mL)
Potential difference
-volt meters measure difference in potentials between two half cells and their directionality -electrons should flow spontaneously from left ro right, anode to cathode -a negative potential difference indicates spontaneous directionality from right to left, cathode to anode -measure potential DIFFERENCE
concentration cell
-voltaic cell that uses redox couple @ both electrodes -if sit for a long period of time, the concetrations diffuse through the salt bridges through the voltaic cell -either anode or cathode side starts with very low concentration
Note about K, equilibrium constant
-when K is really large, it is sometimes okay to write the reaction SOLELY in the FORWARD direction, ---->, instead of writing the reaction with double-headed arrows *10^9 is large enough for our purposes where can ignore the reverse reaction -just means that the reaction goes to completion very rapidly
Electrical work
-when charge is transferred, energy is involved -energy that results in a change in position = work -if charges spontaneously move away from like/towards opposite charges, energy can be harnessed as work -if charges are forced toward like charges/away from opp. charges, work (energy) must be done -it cost energy to move like charges towards each other and energy is released when opposite charges move away from each other
pka and pH
-when pH = pka, the solution is at the 1/2 equiv. point -buffer capacity is at the maximum when pka = pH -this is where [A-] = [HA], where the [conjugate base] = [the acid] -if [A-] / [HA] changes by a factor of 10, pH changes by one unit (either up or down direction)
isobestic point
-where two species have the same molar absorbtivity constant (E) -for a reaction where A goes to B, no matter the spectra, it would always pass through Isp point -the presence of an isobestic point during a chemical reaction is a good indicator that only two principal species are present
polyprotic acids and equilibrium
-with high enough concentration in intermediate form of species, everything should have ~ pHs regardless of concentration
Terminology with sample vs population problems
-x with a bar over it refers to the mean of a sample *and this approximates the mean of the population -curvy M ("mew") refers to the population mean -s refers to the sample standard dev. while delta (the symbol) refers to the population standard dev. *s approximates delta -accuracy in this case refers to how well the sample mean matches the population mean -precision refers to how well our measured means match each others, so this can be determined by standard dev.
***Indicators and titration***
-you basically are titrating the "indicator" because when the indicator reacts with the titrant, it makes a physical change (a color change) IMPORTANT POINT: -titrant volume at the end point = vol. titrant that reacts with the analyte + vol. of titrant that reacts with the indicator
How to get mmol
-you multiply M of species * mL -and to get back to M, you just divide by mL
Steps to a titration problem
-you need to find the moles of the titrant and then can convert the moles of titrant to the moles of analyte used (via the ratio of these species in the reaction) -then divide by the volume of analyte added to get M -need to be careful and look at stoichiometry -AgNO3 is a primary standard
Molality vs Molarity
1. Molality: mol solute/ kg solvent (not total soln.) *masses of solute and solvent do not change with temp (as long as neither species evaporates), SO molality does NOT change when temp changes 2. Molarity: mol solute/ L solution *DOES change when temp changes because the volume of solution normally increases when it is heated
Types of interference with the light source
1. Spectral interference -absorbance or emission lines over lapping analyte element -eliminate by analyzing a different light 2. Chemical interference -when other things in the sample inhibit atomization -use releasing agent to reduce effects of atomization inhibitor 3. Ionization interference -atomizers can ionize atoms -Fe and Fe2+ have different absorbances and emission -ionization suppressors work by providing something that ionizes easily -- alkaline metals
Comparing the reaction quotient and the equilibrium constant
1. if a reaction is at equilibrium and products that appear in the reaction quotient are added (or reactants that appear in the reaction quotient are removed), the reaction goes in the reverse direction (to the left) 2. if a reacion is at equlibrium and reactants that appear in the reaction quotient are added (or products in the reaction quotient are removed), the reaction goes in the forward direction (to the right) -the only difference between Q and K is that the reaction quotient si evaluated with whatever concentrations happen to exist, even though the solution is not in equilibrium -a species MUST appear in the reaction quotient to affect the equilibrium (solid or liquid species to not effect equilibrium) -the size of K tells us nothing about the reaction or rate of reaction -- big K does not mean that the reaction is fast
steps for external standard calibration
1. prepare concentrated solution (stock solution). 2. dilute different concentrations 3. use machine to evaluate intensity of signal of serial dilution prepared 4. find math relationship between concentration and signal of machine
3 electrode system
1. reference electrode: const. potential to measure against 2. working electrode: indicator electrode from galvanic cells, reaction of interest happens here *1 and 2 measure potential between these two 3. auxiliary electrode: current carrier *2 and 3 measure current between these two
3 Methods of calibration
1. simple calibration curve 2. standard additions 3. internal standards
***5 things to know in a titration problem***
1. the concentration of the titrant 2. the volume of the titrant *use 1 and 2 to calculate moles of titrant 3. concentration of analyte 4. volume of analyte *use 3 and 4 to calc. moles of analyte 5. balanced reaction between titrant and analyte *know the ratio of the moles in the reaction *need to find the moles of analyte in the reaction so use this ratio in your calculations
Detection methods to see if titration is complete
1. voltage change 2. absorbance change 3. indicator color change
uncertainty in pH and H+
1. y = log (x) -absolute error in y = relative error in x / ln(10) 2. y = 10^x -relative error in y = (absol. error in x) * (ln(10))
Indicator errors
1. your indicator choice *you want an indicator that will give you the pH at equiv. point as close to the expected value as possible 2. change color by acting with titrant *could dissociate or something in solution *you are kind of titating the indicator here

A t-test performed on this data at 95% confidence level should lead to THIS conclusion regarding the experimentally obtained mean and the true value for sulfur conc.
Oxidation number rules
Assigning Oxidation Numbers: 1) The oxidation number of an element in an elemental form is zero. Notice in something like N2, O2, or O3, the bonds are between atoms of equal electronegativity. In this case, the shared electrons get split evenly. 2) The oxidation number of a monoatomic ion is equal to the charge on the ion. From here we get into specific atoms based on the most and least electronegative non-metals. Since metals tend to form ionic compounds, they are generally covered by rule 2 above. 3) H in compounds generally has an oxidation number of +1, except in metal hydrides where its oxidation number is -1, or when bound to B, where its oxidation number is again -1. 4) O in compounds generally has an oxidation number of -2, except in peroxides (-O-O- functional group), where its oxidation number is -1, or when O is bound to F. This is because, except for F, O is the most electronegative non-metal that forms compounds, so will always win the competition for shared electrons, again except against F. 5) Halogens usually have an oxidation number of -1, unless they are bound to a more electronegative halogen or O (except F), or have more than one bond. These first five rules give us a starting point for assigning oxidation numbers to all elements in a compound. The last two rules involve finding oxidation numbers for the rest of the elements not already specified. 6) All atoms of a single element are assigned the same oxidation number. 7) The oxidation numbers for all atoms in a compound must add up to the charge on the compound.

Is fluorescence or absorption spectrophotometry more sensitive? Why?
Fluorescence because light source is not measured; it is just emitted photons that are measured in fluorescence, machine does not have to detect small difference.
Displacement titration explained part 2
For metal ions that do not have a good indicator a second titration method is the displacement titration. Here the analyte is treated with an excess of a second metal bound to EDTA. The analyte ion displaces the second metal from the EDTA complex, and then the second metal is titrated with EDTA. A typical displacement titration involves Hg2+ as the analyte and MgEDTA at the displacement titrant.

reducing vs oxidizing agents
These are different than oxidizing agents and reducing agents. Agents are species that cause something to happen. So an oxidizing agent causes something else to get oxidized. To cause something else to lose electrons, it must gain electrons. Therefore, the oxidizing agent contains the element being reduced. This is another important distinction - individual atoms (elements) get oxidized or reduced. Agents are the entire compound containing the elements gaining or losing electrons.
Effect is not signifanct
To investigate the effects of insoluble components on the determination of phosphorus in a detergent, 6 diff samples were analyzed by spectrophotometric method.

Why do bands spread in chromatography?
We know that bands only get wider down the column, but why? (Notes: U = linear flow rate down column) 1. Longitudinal diffusion -molecules diffuse away from the center of the band, an inevitable process -the longer a solute spends in a column, the more time it has to diffuse down that column and the wider the peak it has -broadening due to linear diffusion is inversely related to flow rate: broadening = 1/U *meaning that the faster the flow rate, the less the solute diffuses and the narrower the band (and peak are) 2. Equilibration time -it takes time to equilibrate between the MP and the SP -- aka to reach equilibrium -the faster the MP moves, the broader the peak gets *the rate of mass transfer increases with temp. -here, broadening is directly proportional to flow rate of the MP (called broadening due to the finite rate of mass transfer) -solute requires a finite time to equilibrate between th emobile and stationary phases -- if equilibration is slow, solute in the stationary phase lags behind that in the mobile phase, thereby causing the band to spread -the slower the flow rate, the less the zone broadens due to this mechanism 3. Multiple pathways -independent of flow rate -occurs on a column/path that is packed with solid particles -some of the random flow paths are longer than others and some particles travel faster than others so this does not have to do with linear flow rate -the smaller the SP, the less this problem occurs because solute is having to move around SP particles
