are one of the primary methods used in the determination of content of many pharmaceutical substances and excipients
Acid-base titrations
Acid-base titrations
- Titrations of this nature follow the concept that acids and bases when combined will form its corresponding ______________________, where at completion will have a shift in pH, to which equivalency and endpoints depend on.
salt and water
These are chemical processes in which an acid (proton donor) reacts with a base (proton acceptor).
NEUTRALIZATION REACTIONS
NEUTRALIZATION REACTIONS
- Products
salt and water
Any ionic solid such as ammonium chloride is called ______________
salt
Most salts are strong _________________
- i.e. they dissociate almost completely into their component ions when dissolve in water
electrolytes
The products of a reaction between an acid and a base are also acid and base
Conjugateacids and bases
A substance that increases the concentration of H3O+ (hydronium ion) in aqueous solution.
ACID
A substance that decreases the concentration of H3O+ in aqueous solution
BASE
Increase OH-concentration

RULES FOR THE USE OF INDICATORS
- Use HOW MANY drops of indicator test solution for a titration unless otherwise directed.

RULES FOR THE USE OF INDICATORS
- Strong acid + strong base
1. Methylorange
2. Methyl red
3. Phenolphthalein
RULES FOR THE USE OF INDICATORS
- Weak acid + strong base
phenolphthalein
RULES FOR THE USE OF INDICATORS
- Strong acid + weak base
methyl red
RULES FOR THE USE OF INDICATORS
- A weak alkali should never be titrated with a weak acid, or vice versa, since no indicator will give a ______________________.
sharp endpoint
RULES FOR THE USE OF INDICATORS
- The appearance of a _________________ is more easily observable than is the disappearance

This essentially involves the direct or residual titrimetric analysis of alkaline substances (bases) employing an aliquot of acid and is provided usually in the analytical control of a large number of substances included in the various official compendia.
