INTRODUCTION TO CHEMISTRY LAB
In all chemistry laboratories chemical analysis is carried out. Chemical analysis is the
resolution of a chemical compound into its proximate or ultimate parts.
It is divided into two types. They are,
I. Qualitative analysis and
II. Quantitative analysis.

I. QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS: It deals with identification and confirmation of the nature


of thesubstances or impurities present in a given sample.

II. QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS: It deals with the determination of how much of each
component or of specified component is present.
QUANTITATIVE CHEMICAL ANALYSIS IS FURTHER DIVIDED INTO TWO
TYPES:

i. VOLUMETRIC ANALYSIS: The process of estimation of a substance based on


volume is called volumetric analysis. The volumetric analysis is carried out by a process known
as Titration. Hence, volumetric analysis is called titrimetric analysis.

LAW OF VOLUMETRIC ANALYSIS:

Whenever two Substances react together, they react in the ratio of their equivalent mass. One
liter of a normal solution of a substance will react exactly with same volume of a normal
solution of another substance. In other words, equal volumes of equal normal solutions will
exactly react with each other. This result is stated in the form law of volumetric analysis. If V 1
mL of a solution of strength N1 is required or complete reaction by V2 mL of the second
solution of strength N2 then,

N1 V1 = N2 V2

If any three factors (V1, V2 & N1) are known, the fourth factor N2 can be calculated. The
following are theimportant formula used in all volumetric estimations
Mass of solute per liter of the solution = Equivalent mass x Normality

ii. GRAVIMETRIC ANALYSIS: The process of estimation of a substance based on weight


is called gravimetric analysis.
Of the two methods gravimetric analysis is more accurate but volumetric analysis is much more
readily carried out.

ESSENTIAL CONDITIONS FOR ACCURATE TITRIMETRY:


i. The equation governing the reaction must be known.
ii. The reaction must go to completion, and there must be no complicating side reaction.
iii. There must be some means to assess the completion of the reaction (usually an indicator
isemployed).
iv. The standard solution must not alter in its strength during the period of experimentation.
Thesolution must be stable to light, atmosphere and must not react with the solvent.
TERMS USED IN VOLUMETRIC ANALYSIS:

(a) TITRATION: It is a process of adding one solution from the burette to another in

the conicalflask, in order to complete the chemical reaction. Out of the two solutions one must

be standard.
(b) TITRANT: The reagent from the burette is called as Titrant.
(c) TITRAND (TITRATE): The substances being titrated is termed as titrand or titrates
(d) EQUIVALENCE POINT OR STOICHIOMETRIC END POINT: It is the point at
which the amount of reagent (Titrant) and substance (titrate) being determined are
chemically equivalent or it is the exact stage at which the chemical reaction involved in the
titration is just completed.
(e) END POINT: The point at which the reaction between Titrant and titrate is just
complete is called Endpoint or Equivalence point.
The determination of end point accurately is very essential in volumetric analysis. Generally,
the endpoint in the titration is detected by using an indicator.
(f) INDICATOR: chemical species which indicate the end-point by a sharp visual color
change is called indicator. There are three types of indicators. They are,
i. Internal indicators,
ii. External indicators and
iii. Self – indicators.

i. INTERNAL INDICATORS:

The indicator added to the titrating solution is called internal indicator.

Ex: Phenolphthalein (or) methyl orange in acid-base titrations.

ii. EXTERNAL INDICATORS:


It is not added to the titrating solution, but used externally to detect the end point.
Ex: Potassium ferricyanide, the most familiar example of external indicator, is used during the
titration of ferrous ions as it gives blue color with ferrous ions and a brown coloration with
ferricions and thus tells us when a ferrous solution has been completely oxidized to the ferric
state. The indicator is used as external since if it is added to the ferrous solution to start with,
it would have been reacted with it.

iii. SELF - INDICATORS:

If one of the reacting solutions is in color, it acts as indicator in the titration. This kind of
indicator is called as Self-indicator. Ex: In the estimation of Mohr’s salt by KMnO4, KMnO4
acts as Self-indicator.
ACIDIMETRY AND ALKALIMETRY TITRATION:

Acidimetric refers to the titration of alkali with a standard acid and alkalimetry refers to the
titration of an acid with a standard alkali.
PERMANGANOMETRY TITRATION:

The titration involving KMnO4 is called permanganometry titration. In presence of dilute


H2SO4,KMnO4 oxidizes ferrous sulphate to ferric sulphate and oxidizes oxalic acid to CO 2
and H2O.

(g)TITRATION ERROR: Ideally, the visible end point and the equivalence point should
coincide but in practice there is always a difference between the two, this difference is
calledthe titration error.

SOLUTION: A solution is a homogeneous mixture of one or more solutes dissolved in a


solvent.
 Solvent: the substance in which a solute dissolve to produce a homogeneous mixture
 Solute: the substance that dissolves in a solvent to produce a homogeneous mixture

STANDARD SOLUTION: A solution of accurately known strength is called as standard


solution.
Standard solution is prepared by dissolving a definite known amount of a substance, called
primary standard substance in a definite volume of solvent.

PRIMARY STANDARD SUBSTANCE SHOULD SATISFY THE FOLLOWING


REQUIREMENTS:

 It must be easy to obtain in high purity and to preserve in a pure state.

 The substance should maintain its composition unchanged during storage and unaltered

inair during weighing; it is neither oxidized by air nor affected by carbon dioxide.

 It should neither be hygroscopic nor efflorescent.

 The total amount of impurities should not in general, exceed 0.01 – 0.02%.

 It should have a high equivalent weight so that the weighing errors may be negligible.

 The substance should be readily soluble in water under the conditions in which it is

employed. In practice, an ideal primary standard is difficult to obtain.


CONCENTRATION OF A STANDARD SOLUTION IS GENERALLY EXPRESSED

INTHE FOLLOWINGCHEMICAL UNITS:

MOLARITY (M):
Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute present in one literof solution at given
temperature.

Weight of the Solute 1000


Molarity (M)=Gram Molecular weigh * V (in mL)

NORMALITY (N):
Normality is defined as the number of gram equivalents of solute present in one liter of
solution at given temperature.

* 𝑽 (𝒊𝒏 𝒎𝑳)
CLASSIFICATION OF VOLUMETRIC TITRATIONS:
Volumetric titrations are classified into four classes depending upon the type of reaction taking
place during the titration. They are

1. Acid – base titrations (neutralization titrations)


2. Red-ox titrations (oxidation-reduction)
3. Precipitation titrations
4. Complexometric titrations
1. ACID – BASE TITRATIONS (NEUTRALIZATION TITRATIONS):
Titrations based on neutralization reactions are called neutralization titrations or acid-base
titrations. In neutralization reaction an acid and a base react with each other and both become
neutral.

Ex: Estimation of HCl by using Na2CO3

ACID – BASE INDICATORS:

An acid-base indicator is a substance which has one color in acidic medium and a completely
different color in the base medium. In fact, the change in color of an acid-base indicator does
not take place at a particular pH value but takes place within a small range of pH (usually about
2 pH units). This range of pH is known as “color change interval” of the indicator. This is
different for different indicators.

2. REDOX TITRATIONS (OXIDATION-REDUCTION):


Titrations based on oxidation-reduction reactions are called oxidation-reduction titrations or
Redox titrations. The reactions which proceed with simultaneous loss and gain of electrons
among the reacting substances are called red-ox reactions or oxidation-reduction reaction.

Ex: Estimation of Oxalic acid by using KMnO4


COMMON OXIDIZING & REDUCING AGENTS:

OXIDIZING AGENTS: Potassium permanganate and potassium dichromate

REDUCING AGENTS: Mohr’s salt and oxalic acid.

INDICATORS FOR REDOX TITRATIONS:

These are of three types:

a. Self- indicators
b. External indicators
c. Redox indicators
3. PRECIPITATION TITRATIONS:
Titrations based upon the formation of insoluble precipitates when the reacting solutions are
brought together, such titrations are called precipitation titrations.

Ex: Estimation of Zinc using standard Potassium ferrocyanide solution.

4. COMPLEXOMETRIC TITRATIONS:
The titrations involving the formation of complex compounds are called complexometric

titrations.

Ex: Determination of hardness of water by using EDTA

EDTA forms very stable metal chelates with many metals. To simplify the representation of
EDTA, reactions with various metals, it is assigned the formula H4Y. Hence the disodium salt
of EDTA written as Na2H2Y which gives the complex forming ion H2Y2- in aqueous
solution, the reaction with differentcations may be written as:

M2+ + H2Y2- MY2- + 2H+

DETERMINATION OF TOTAL HARDNESS OF GIVEN WATER


SAMPLE
AIM: To determine the total hardness of given water sample using standard (0.01 M) EDTA
solution.
APPARATUS REQUIRED: Burette, burette stand, pipette, conical flask, volumetric flask,
beaker, glazed tile and wash bottle.
CHEMICALS REQUIRED: Standard EDTA Solution, pH 10 Buffer (NH4Cl + NH4OH),
EBT (Eriochrome black T) indicator, Water sample
INDICATOR: EBT (Eriochrome black T) indicator
ENDPOINT: Wine red color to blue color.
INTRODUCTION:
Hardness of water is due to the presence of bicarbonates, chloride and sulphates of calcium and
magnesium. Hard water does not give lather easily with soap, as the hardness causing ions
react with soap to form insoluble precipitate (scum).
C17H35COONa + Ca+2 / Mg+2 → (C17H35COO) 2 Ca / Mg 
(Sodium stearate) (Insoluble scum)
Temporary hardness is due to the presence of bicarbonates of calcium and magnesium which
canbe removed by boiling the water. On boiling, the bicarbonates are converted into insoluble
carbonates of calcium and magnesium.

Ca (HCO3)2 → CaCO3↓ + H2O + CO2 (Boiling)


Mg (HCO3)2 → Mg (OH) 2 + CO2 + 2H2O

Permanent hardness is due to the presence of chlorides and sulphates of calcium and
magnesium which can be removed by only chemical treatment.The sum of temporary hardness
and permanent hardness is known as total hardness. The hardness is expressed in ppm (parts
per million).Hardness of water can be expressed as CaCO 3 equivalents as it is highly insoluble
salt and its Molecular Weight is 100.
PRINCIPLE:
Hardness of water is determined by titrating a known volume of water sample with EDTA
using EBT as indicator in the presence of pH10 buffer. EDTA is a strong Complexing agent
reacts quantitatively with the metal ions to form soluble stable 1: 1 complex.

Metal ion stable complex

When a few drops of the indicator EBT are added, it forms a wine-red complex with metal
ions.
M2+ + EBT  [M – EBT] +2 Complex
(Blue color) (Wine Red color)
When the solution is titrated, EDTA reacts, preferentially with the free metal ions present in
the solution. Near the end point, when the free metal ions are exhausted in the solution, further
addition of EDTA dissociates the [M-EBT] Complex, consumes the metal ions and releases
free indicator, which is blue in color. Therefore, the color change is from wine red to blue.

[M – EBT] + EDTA [M – EDTA] + EBT

Wine red color colorless colorless blue color


The indicator EBT shows the color change at pH range 9 – 11. Therefore, the pH of the solution

is maintained at about 10, using pH 10 buffers. EDTA being insoluble in water, it is generally

usedas a disodium salt of which readily dissolves in water.

METAL EDTA COMPLEX: EDTA is a hexadentate ligand and forms complexes with many
metal ions and the general structure of which is shown as follows.

DETERMINATION OF CHLORIDE CONTENT OF WATER BY


ARGENTOMETRY (MOHR’S METHOD)
Aim: To estimate the chloride content present in given water sample using standard AgNO 3
solution.
Apparatus: Burette, Measuring jar, Pipette, Conical flask, Burette stand
Chemicals: Sample water, silver nitrate solution, potassium chromate (K2CrO4) solution.
Principle: -
The amount of chloride in water can be simply determined by titrating the water sample with
silver nitrate solution by using potassium chromate indicator. The reaction is quantitative. The
AgNO3 reacts with chloride ion in a 1:1 ratio.
When silver nitrate solution is gradually added into the flask, then silver ions react with
chloride ions and forms silver chloride. It is precipitated in bottom of the flask. The
precipitation is white in color.
AgNO3 (aq) + Cl–(aq) → AgCl(s) + NO3- (aq)

The end point of the titration takes place when all the chloride ions reacts and precipitated.
Then slightly extra silver ions react with the chromate ions and form a brownish-red precipitate
of silver chromate.
2AgNO3 (aq) + K2CrO4 (aq) → Ag2CrO4(s) + 2KNO3 (aq)

Procedure:
Determination of chloride content of water.

 All the apparatus were washed with tap water and rinsed with Distilled water.
 Burette is rinsed and filled with Silver Nitrate solution, including burette nozzle
without air bubbles.
 20 mL of water sample pipetted out into a clean conical flask.
 2-3 drops of Potassium chromate (K2CrO4) indicator was added to the conical flask,
the solution turns into Light Yellow color.
 The Resultant yellow color solution is Titrated against silver nitrate present in the
burette, turns into Permanent brick Red Color.
 Repeated the titrations to get concurrent values.

Determination of Dissolved Oxygen in a Water Sample


Aim: To determine the dissolved Oxygen content present in the given sample of water
Apparatus: Burette, Pipette, Conical flask, volumetric flask, DO bottle
Chemical Required: Potassium dichromate solution, Hypo solution, Manganese sulphate
solution, Alkaline Iodide- Azide solution, Starch Indicator, 10% Potassium Iodide solution.
Theory & Principle:
Dissolved Oxygen is one of the essential constituents for the existence of fish & other
aquatic life. The maximum amount of Oxygen, which can be dissolved in one liter of water, is
8.15mg and the minimum of D.O, which must be present per liter of oceans, is 5-8mg.
Dissolved Oxygen is basis of determining B.O.D which is a measure of pollution in water. It
can be determined iodometrically by Winkler’s method. The dissolved Oxygen present in water
Oxidizes Potassium Iodide liberating an equivalent amount of Iodine which is titrated against
a standard Hypo (Hypo) using starch as an Indicator. Oxygen carrier like Manganese
Hydroxide must be used to bring about the reaction between Potassium Iodide and dissolved
Oxygen because dissolved molecular Oxygen in water is not capable of reacting with
Potassium Iodide. Manganese Hydroxide is produced by the action of Potassium hydroxide
and manganese sulphate.

The Nitrates present in water interfere with the estimation of dissolved Oxygen of water, since
these ions liberate Iodine from Potassium Iodide, Sodium Azide is added to remove nitrate.

 All the apparatus were washed with tap water and rinsed with Distilled water.
 250mL of water sample is taken in a bottle having stopper to prevent possible contact
with air and is not agitated as there may be a change in the dissolved Oxygen
concentration.
 2mL of Manganese Sulphate and 2mL of Alkaline Iodide- Azide solutions are added to
the water sample.
 The contents in the bottle are shaken well and allowed to stand so that brown precipitate
of basic manganese oxide MnO (OH)2 (Manganic Hydroxide) settles down.
 2mL of concentrated H2SO4 is added drop wise with stirring to dissolve the precipitates
and again allowed to stand for 5minutes.
 Now 50mL of above solution is taken and titrated against standardized Hypo solution
till a pale-yellow color is obtained.
 1-2mL Starch solution is added which turns the solution into blue color and titrated
against Hypo solution until blue color disappears.
 The titrations are continued until 3 concurrent readings are obtained and the readings
are tabulated in Table.

CONDUCTOMETRIC TITRATIONS BETWEEN STRONG ACID AND STRONG BASE

AIM: To determine the strength of strong acid (HCl) by titrating with strong base (NaOH)
conductometrically.

APPARATUS REQUIRED:

Conductivity meter, conductivity cells, micro burette, volumetric flasks and

beaker. CHEMICALS REQUIRED: HCl, NaOH and Conductivity water

PRINCIPLE:

When an acid is added to an alkali the conductance of the solution is initially high because HCl is
a strong electrolyte and dissociates to give the fast-moving H + ions. However,when NaOH solution
is added to the HCl solution fast moving H + ions are replaced by the slow-moving Na + ions and
hence the conductance of the solution decreases. The conductance goes ondecreasing on the addition
of NaOH solution till whole of the H+ ions are replaced by Na+ ions.

After the end point has reached, further addition of NaOH results in increase in conductance, since
the OH- ions are no longer used up in chemical reaction. At the neutral point the conductance of the
system will have a minimum value from which the equivalence point can be determined. Therefore,
when the conductance of the solution is plotted against the number of mL of the base added two
curves are obtained. The point of intersection of the two curves gives the end point of the titration.

PROCEDURE:
 All the apparatus were washed with tap water and rinsed with Distilled water.
 50 mL of acid is taken in 100 mL beaker.

 Then conductivity cell is kept in the beaker.

 The conductance of the solution is determined using conductivity meter.

 The titrating solution which is 10 times more concentrated than the acid is taken in a micro
burette and is allowedto run down in small quantities (0.5mL) and after each addition the
solution is well stirred and the conductivity is measured.

 This is continued up to neutral point is reached.

 The corrected conductance can be obtained

POTENTIOMETRIC TITRATIONS BETWEEN STRONGACID AND
STRONG BASE
AIM: To determine the end point of an acid base reaction [HCl & NaOH] by potentiometer.

APPARATUS REQUIRED: Potentiometer, Wheatstone bridge, calomel electrode, Battery,


Quinhydrone, Platinum electrode, magnetic stirrer, micro burette.

CHEMICALS REQUIRED: HCl solution (unknown), 0.1N NaOH solution and distilled
water.

PRINCEPLE: The following cell,


H2 (pt)/ Acid solution // Aq. KCl /calomel electrode
Have its E. M. F dependent on the pH of the solution. On adding small Quantities of the
standard solution of an alkali to the acid, the E.M.F of the cell vary slowly at first, because the
change in the electrode potential depends on the fraction of Hydrogen ions removed. As the
amount of alkali added approaches equivalence to the amount of Hydrogen ions in the solution,
the fraction of the Hydrogen ion concentration removed by each drop of the alkali rapidly
increases and there is a correspondingly rapid change in the E.M.F thus the endpoint of the
reaction is characterized by the sudden jump in the potential.
PROCEDURE:
 All the apparatus were washed with tap water and rinsed with Distilled water.

 Exactly 50 mL of the acid is pipetted out into a 100 mL beaker and it is saturated with
Quinhydrone and a Platinum electrode is dipped into the solution.

 A calomel electrode is placed in the solution and the cell thus formed is connected to a
potentiometer.

 The beaker is placed under a burette filled with standard Sodium hydroxide solution.

 A magnetic stirrer is used to stir the solution uniformly and effectively.

 The E.M.F of the cell is measured by means of the potentiometer.

 The alkali is added from the burette at the rate of 1mLfor rough titration and the
approximate end point is noted.

 Then the titration is repeated by adding 0.1mLof the alkali near the end point and the
E.M.F is measured after each addition.

DETERMINATION OF STRENGTH OF SULFURIC ACID IN Pb-ACID


BATTERY

AIM:
To determine the strength of a sulfuric acid solution in Pb-acid battery by titration with standard
NaOH solution

CHEMICALS REQUIRED: H2SO4, NaOH, Phenolphthalein indicator

APPARATUS REQUIRED: Burette, Pipette, Conical Flask, Flask, Burette Stand.

PRINCIPLE:
Titration is the process, of determining the concentration of a substance in solution (The
analyte) by adding it to a standard reagent of known concentration (the Titrant) in carefully
measured amounts until a reaction of definite and known proportion is completed, as shown by
a color change or electrical measurement, and then calculating the unknown concentration. In
this experiment, sulfuric acid is titrated with sodium hydroxide.
2 NaOH + H2SO4 → Na2SO4 + 2 H2O
The titration is done in the presence of phenolphthalein indicator that is colorless in acid
solution but turns pink in basic solution. At the equivalence point, all of the analyte has reacted,
and only a tiny excess of Titrant has been added, just enough to change the color of the
indicator.
PROCEDURE:
 All the apparatus were washed with tap water and rinsed with Distilled water.
 The burette is rinsed with the given acid solution and filledwith same without air
bubbles, including nozzle.
 10ml standard sodium hydroxide solution is pipetted outinto a clean conical flask
carefully. Two drops of phenolphthalein indicator are added directly to the contents
of conical flask.
 The conical flask contents are titrated with given acid solution after noting the initial
reading.
 The titration is continued till the color changes from pink to colorless. The final
reading of burette is noted.
 A number of titrations are repeated for getting concurrent results.

ESTIMATION OF Mn IN PYROLUSITE

AIM: To estimate the Mn content present in the given sample of pyrolusite

APPARATUS: Pipette, burette, conical flask, beaker, Bunsen burner

CHEMICALS REQUIRED: Pyrolusite, Oxalic acid, dilute H2SO4, KMnO4

INDICATOR: KMnO4 acts as self indicator

END POINT: Colourless – Pale Pink

PRINCIPLE:

MnO2 occurs in the nature in the form of pyrolusite. Pyrolusite is not only used as asource of
mangane4se but also as an oxidizing agent in many industrial processes. For such purposes, ore
is graded on the basis of its available oxygen content rather than on itspercentage of manganese.

The percentage of MnO2 is usually determined by treatment with an excess of acidified solution
of a reducing agent, oxalic acid. The excess of reducing agent isdetermined by titration with
standard KMnO4 where KMnO4 acts as a self-indicator with pale pink color as the end point.

MnO2 + H2C2O4 + H2SO4 MnSO4 + 2CO2 + 2H2O

2 KMnO4 + 3 H2SO4 + 5 H2C2O4 → 2MnSO4 + K2SO4 + 10CO2 + 8H2O

PROCEDURE:
 All the apparatus were washed with tap water and rinsed with Distilled water.
 Rinsed burette and it is filled with KMnO4 solution.
 0.25 g of pyrolusite sample is finely grounded and dissolved in 100 mL.
 10 mL of Pyrolusite solution is pipetted out into a conical flask, 20 mL of Oxalic Acid
solution and 5 mL of Diluted sulfuric acid is added to the conical flask solution.
The conical flask contents were heated to about 600C to increase the rate of reaction.
 The Resultant solution is titrated against KMnO4 solution until permanent pink color
is observed.
 Titration was repeated with another sample of Pyrolusite
 Amount of Mn present ion Pyrolusite can be calculated from the volume of oxalic acid
reacted equivalently with pyrolusite.
