What are the different methods used to detect the equivalence point?
Methods of determining the equivalence point include color change, pH change, formation of a precipitate, change in conductivity, or temperature change. In a titration, the equivalence point is not the same as the endpoint.
How do you find the equivalence point without an indicator?
a) We can see that equivalence point can also be determined by plotting pH vs. volume of the titrant. We could use a pH meter to determine the pH per addition of titrant, plot the graph, then determine equivalence point by checking the steep part of the curve. b) Endpoint is relatively close to the equivalence point.
What can be used to replace phenolphthalein?
Copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate has been standardized as an advantageous indicator substitute to phenolphthalein in neutralization titrimetry.
Are there different types of titration?
Titrations can be classified as: Acid-base Titrations. Redox Titrations. Precipitation Titrations.
Why is phenolphthalein an appropriate indicator for titration?
Which indicator is used in acid-base titration? Using a phenolphthalein indicator, a strong acid- strong base titration is performed. Phenolphthalein is selected because it changes colour between 8.3-10 in a pH range. In basic solutions, it will appear pink, and clear in acidic solutions.
How do you do titrations without indicators?
If you want to execute an acid base titration without any indicator, then you could use a pH meter. On the meter you must continuously check the (changing) pH values: In the equivalence point, the pH change is at its maximum; a sudden big pH change shows up.
Which titration can be done without using indicator?
redox titrations
Some redox titrations do not require an indicator, due to the intense color of the constituents.
What is Trimetric method?
Titrimetric analysis is a method of analysis in which a solution of the substance being determined is treated with a solution of a suitable reagent of exactly known concentration. The reagent is added to the substance until the amount added is equivalent to the amount of substance to be determined.
What indicator is best for titration?
indicator phenolphthalein
The indicator phenolphthalein, whose range spans from pH 8 to 10, therefore makes a good choice for this type of titration.
Why is universal indicator not used in titration?
The universal indicator is not used in titration because they have different pH ranges. It becomes difficult to determine the exact pH of the solution. Therefore, universal indicator is not used in titration.
What is indirect titration method?
For determining the concentration of an analyte, one can use Indirect Titration also. It includes the process of reacting the analyte with moles of a particular excess reagent and thereby titrating this reagent with a second reagent. Indirect titration is also known as Back Titration.
Why universal indicator is not suitable for titration?
Does titration always need indicator please explain?
Acid-base titrations often require color-changing indicators. In this titration type, an acidic solution reacts with a basic solution, and you don’t know the concentration of one of them. The indicators for these titrations will change color at a certain point on the pH scale.
Why do you repeat titration without indicator?
A universal indicator is commonly found in the chemistry laboratory and is often used to test a solution to determine an approximate pH. However, the universal indicator is not used in titrations because it changes color over a wide range of pH values and the color changes are less abrupt than other indicators.
Can we choose any other indicator instead of phenolphthalein for performing this titration?
If you use phenolphthalein, you would titrate until it just becomes colourless (at pH 8.3) because that is as close as you can get to the equivalence point. On the other hand, using methyl orange, you would titrate until there is the very first trace of orange in the solution….
| indicator | pKind |

What are different methods of titration?
What is the use of titrimetric method?
The titrimetric solution is used for a defined, complete chemical conversion with the materials that are to be measured. Adding a reagent until one can recognize the end point of the reaction is known as titration. The reagent is called the titrant, and the material to be tested is the sample (or analyte).
What is the difference between titration and equivalence?
Titrant: solution of a known concentration, which is added to another solution whose concentration has to be determined. Titrand or analyte: the solution whose concentration has to be determined. Equivalence point: point in titration at which the amount of titrant added is just enough to completely neutralize the analyte solution.
What is the equivalence point in an acid-base titration?
At the equivalence point in an acid-base titration, moles of base = moles of acid and the solution only contains salt and water.
What is a titration curve used for?
A titration curve can be used to determine: 1) The equivalence point of an acid-base reaction (the point at which the amounts of acid and of base are just sufficient to cause complete neutralization). 2) The pH of the solution at equivalence point is dependent on the strength of the acid and strength of the base used in the titration.
How do you prepare titration solutions?
Place a known quantity (volume) of the solution of unknown concentration (the analyte) in an Erlenmeyer flask and fill the solution of known concentration (the titrant) in the burette.
