 Primary and Secondary Standards


 Stoichiometric Calculation
 Methods of Expressing Concentration
Primary standard

 Primary standard is a reagent which is very pure,


representative of the number of moles the substance contains
and easily weighed Or

 A Primary standard is a reagent  that is extremely pure,


stable, it’s not a hydrate /has no water of hydration, and has a
high molecular weight.

 Primary standards are typically used in titration to determine


an unknown concentration and in other analytical
chemistry techniques.
 high level of purity, low reactivity (high stability), high
equivalent weight (to reduce error from mass measurements)
 not hygroscopic (to reduce changes in mass in humid versus
dry environments), non-toxic, inexpensive and readily
available
E.g NaCl used as primary standard for AgNO3 reactions
KHP to standardize perchloric acid
Oxalic acid to standardize NaOH
Secondary Standard
Secondary standard is a chemical that has been standardized
against a primary standard for use in a specific analysis.
Secondary standards are commonly used to calibrate analytical
methods.
Stoichiometry
• Predicts how much product is obtained from given amount of
reactant

• Predicts how much reactant is needed to give required amount


of product

• Predicts how much of one reactant is required to give


optimum result with given amount of another reactant
Concept of Mole
 Unit to count the chemical entity by weighing them

 Mole is the SI unit of the amount of substance


 1 Mole contains 6.022 X 1023 entities (Avogadro’s number) or 1
gram atom an element contains 6.022 X 1023 atoms
 The number of atoms or molecules in one mole of a substance,
equal to 6.022 X 1023 .
As per definition Avagadro’s number is equal to the number of
carbon atoms present in exactly 12g of C12
1 gram atom of an element = Atomic weight expressed in gram
Atomic weight-The mass of a given atom, measured on a
scale in which the hydrogen atom has the weight of one. 
That means 1 g atom of sodium is 23g of sodium and this
would contains 6.022 X 1023 sodium atoms
No. of g atom= Wt. of the element in g/ Atomic weight of the
element
1 g molecular weight of any substance contains 6.022 X 1023
molecules of that substance
Gram molecular weight of a substance means its molecular
weight expressed in grams
• E.g 1 mole of water means 18 g of water and this would
contains 6.022 X 1023 water molecules
• N2+ 3H2 2NH3

No. of moles = Wt of substance in g/ Mol wt


E.g- NaOH (Mol wt 23+16+1= 40)

Gram Formula Weight- Weight of a substance obtained by


adding atomic weights of all atoms in the chemical
formula
Generally same as Molecular weight
E.g- NaCl (23+35.5= 58.5)
Molarity-(M) is defined as the number of moles of solute
per liter of solution.
Molarity = moles of solute/liters of solution

Molality (m) is defined as the number of moles of solute


per kilogram of solvent.
Molality = moles of solute/kilograms of solvent

Normality (N)-  is defined as the number of mole


equivalents per liter of solution:
Normality = number of mole equivalents/1 L of solution

Equivalent Weight- Parts by weight of that substance which


chemically equivalent to 1.008 parts by weight of hydrogen or 8
parts by weight of oxygen
 Concept of equivalence weight
• Parts by weight of that substance which is chemically
equivalent to 1.008 parts by weight of hydrogen or 8
parts by weight of oxygen
• How many g of that substance are directly or
indirectly chemically equivalent to 1.008g of
hydrogen or 8g of oxygen
Like molarity, normality relates the amount of solute to the
total volume of solution; however, normality is specifically
used for acids and bases. The mole equivalents of an acid
or base are calculated by determining the number of H+ or
OH- ions per molecule:
N = n × M (where n is an integer)

E.g 1M H2SO4 = 2N H2SO4 and 1M Ca(OH)2 = 2N Ca(OH)2


1M HCl= 1N HCl and 1M NaOH= 1N NaOH
Note: The normality of a solution is NEVER less than its
molarity!
Methods of expressing Concentration
Amount of solute dissolved in unit amount of solvent or of solution

 Qualitative  Semi Quantitative


Dilute- Contains small Unsaturated- a solution
proportion of solute in which more solute
relative to solvent will dissolve

Concentrated- Saturated- a solution in


Contains large which no more solute
proportion of solute will dissolve
relative to solvent
Quantitative expression

1) Percentage- Amt of solute per 100 parts of the


solution (parts per hundred-pph)
 Weight to Weight ( % w/w)
Wt of a solute/ Wt of a solution* 100
 Weight to Volume (% w/v)
Wt of a solute/ volume of a solution* 100
 Volume to Volume (% v/v)
Volume of a solute/ volume of a solution* 100
 Volume to Weight ( %v/w)
Volume of a solute/ weight of a solution* 100
2) Parts per million (ppm) or Parts per billion (ppb)
Used when solutes are present in trace quantities
It is the number of parts of a solute per million or per
billion
ppm = mass of solute component/ total mass of solution* 108
ppb = mass of solute component/ total mass of solution * 109

(3) Strength: The strength of solution is defined as the


amount of solute in grams present in one litre of the
solution. It is expressed in g/litre.
4) Normality-It is defined as the number of gram equivalents
(equivalent weight in grams) of a solute present per litre of the
solution.
Unit - gram equivalents litre–1
When a solution is diluted n times, its normality also decreases
by n  times

N- Normal solution N/2- seminormal


5N- pentanormal 10N- Decanormal
N/5- Pentinormal N/10- Decinormal
N/100- Centinormal (0.01N)
N/1000- millinormal (0.001N)
