Definition

Â¥ Pharmaceutical analysis is a branch of practical chemistry or Quantitative Pharmaceutical
chemistry.

Â¥ Pharmaceutical analysis may be defined as application of analytical procedures used to
determine the purity,safety,quality of drugs & chemicals.

TYPES
There are two types of chemical analysis.

1. Qualitative (identification)
2. Quantitative (estimation)

1.Qualitative analysis :

>Â» Completely unknown sample is taken & analysed to presence or absence particular
substance.

Â» Various qualitative tests are detection of evolved gas, formation of precipitates, limit
tests, cooler change reactions, melting point and boiling point test etc.

2. Quantitative analysis :

>Â» Analytical techniques are mainly used to quantify any compound or substance in the
sample.

Â» These techniques are based in (a) the quantitative performance of suitable chemical
reaction and either measuring the amount of reagent added to complete the reaction or
measuring the amount of reaction product obtained, (b) the characteristic movement of a
substance through a defined medium under controlled conditions, (c) electrical
measurement, (d) measurement of some spectroscopic properties of the compound.

>Â» Examination of raw material

Â» Analysis of various drug sample

Â» Qualitative / Qunatitative analysis of sample.

Â» Diagnosis of various disease by using chemical analysis.

Â» Determination of radioactive compounds.

>Â» Determination of naturally occurring phytoconstituents (chemical compound )
>Â» Determination of different sample of water.

METHODS OF EXPRESSING CONCENTRATION :
Concentration of solution is the amount of solute dissolved in a known amount of the solvent or solution.
Concentration = Amount of solute / Amount of solvent
The three different ways to represent the concentration of solution are:
1) Percent concentration
2) Chemical methods of expressing concentration

3) Solubility Expression

SOLUBILITY EXPRESSION:
1 gram of substance in

+ Very soluble: less than 1 ml of solvent or solution.

Â«+ Freely soluble: 1-10 ml of solvent or solution

â€œ+ Soluble : 10 â€” 30 ml of solvent or solution

%Â° Sparingly Soluble: 30-100 ml of solvent or solution

% Slightly soluble: 100 -1000 ml of solvent or solution

â€œ* Very slightly soluble : 1000 â€” 10,000 ml of solvent or solution

Â«+ Practically Soluble (or) insoluble : greater than 10,000 ml of solvent or solution

Percent concentration:

Percentage: It refers to the amount of the solute per 100 parts of the solution. It can also be called as
parts per hundred (pph). It can be expressed by any of following four methods,

(i) percent w/w (% w/w) percentage weight in weight
_ Wt. of solute x 100
% whw Wt. of solution

Example: 100%(w/w)Nacl solution is made by weighing 100g Nacl & dissolving in 100g of solution

(ii) Percent w/v (%ow/v) Weight to volume percent

Wt.of solute

% wily . Volume of solution .

Example: 4% (w/v) Nacl solution is 4g of Nacl in 100ml of solution

> A primary standard is a reagent that is extremely pure (99.95-100.05%),
> Stable

>Â» has no waters of hydration, and

>Â» has a high molecular weight.

>Â» Inchemistry, a primary standard is a reliable, readily qualified substance.

ideal requirments of primary standard :

= It should be easily obtained,purified,dried,& preserved in pure form.
= It should not change due to effect of air during weighing.

= It should be non-hygroscopic

= It should have high relative molecular mass

= It should rapidly soluble

= Free from impurities.0.01%-0.025

Some features of a primary standard are;

. High purity ,Non toxic, cheap, readily available.
Â° Less rective & stable

. Low hygroscopicity and efflorescence

. High solubility (Gf used in titration)

. High equivalent weight

EXAMPLES OF PRIMARY STANDARD :

SECONDARY STANDARD:

> Secondary standards are substance used for standardisations and their content of the active
substance has been found by comparing against a primary standard.
Â» Asecondary standard is a chemical or reagent which has certain properties such as

(a) It has less purity than primary standard
(b) Less stable and more reactive than primary standard
(c) But its solution remains stable for a long time

(d) Titrated against primary standard anhydrous sodium hydroxide (NaOH).

It is extremely hygroscopic.

Definition of errors:

Â» The difference between the Observed value Or calculated value and true value is
known as Error.

> If the error in an analysis is large, serious consequences may result as reliability,
reproducibility and accuracy are the basis of analytical chemistry.

SOURCES OF ERRORS :

1.Improper samplings :

Error may occur due to improper samplings.

2.Errors during sample preparation :

Error may occur during sample preparation.

3.Error by the analyst:

Analyst can do error during analysis,it is also known as manual error.
4.Error by the equipments :

Error occur due to improper function of the equipment.
5.calibration error:

Error may occur if proper calibration is not done.
6.Reporting Error :

Error occurs due wrong or improper data or observation.
7.Calculation Error:

Error occurs due to wrong calculation.

www.remixeducation.in

PHARMACEUTICAL ANALYSIS UNIT-I

8.Error in method selection :

Error may occur due to wrong method selection.

9.Error during transport & storage :

Error may occur due to improper handling of materials during transport & storage.
10.Error due to Laboratory Environment :

Due to unsuitable laboratory environment.

TYPES OF ERRORS:

1) Determinate or systematic or constant error and

2) Indeterminate or random or accidental error

DETERMINATE OR SYSTEMATIC OR CONSTANT ERROR

> Known to be analyst
Â» Usually one sided & preplanning these errors can be Eliminated

EXAMPLES OF DETERMINATE ERROR :
1) Error in the calibration and the operation of measuring instruments.
11) Impurities in the reagents and drugs
ii) Biased personal errors.
-Reading the meniscus
-Pouring and mixing
-In weighing operation
-In matching colours

-In making calculation

www.remixeducation.in

PHARMACEUTICAL ANALYSIS UNIT-I

Determinate Error can be classified into
1.Personal errors

2.Instrumental errors

3.Reagent errors

4.Additive/constant errors

5.Proportional error

6.Error in method

Operational and Personal errors:

Â» These are due to an individual analyst is responsible and are not connected with the method or
procedure they form part of the personal equation of an observer.

>Â» Examples are:

Mechanical loss of materials in various steps of analysis.

Underwashing or over washing of precipitates.

Ignition of precipitate at incorrect temperatures.

SAMAK

Some analyst is unable to judge color changes sharply in visual titrations, which may
result in slight overstepping of the end point.

Some other analyst â€” related errors are : Carelessness Transcription errors, i.e. copying
the wrong information into a lab notebook or onto a label.

Â¥ Proper training, experience, and attention to detail on the part of the analyst can correct
these types of errors.

Reagents and instrumentation:

> Contaminated or decomposed reagents can cause determinate errors.

Â» Prepared reagents may also be improperly labeled.

Â» Impurities in the reagents may interfere with the determination of the analyte, especially at the
ppm level or below.

>Â» Numerous errors involving instrumentation are possible, including Faulty construction of
balances, Incorrect instrument alignment, Incorrect wavelength settings, Use of uncalibrated or
improperly calibrated weights.

Â» These problems can be eliminated by a systematic procedure to check the instrument settings and
operation before use.

> Such procedures are called std. operating (SOPs) in the many labs.

> There should be a written SOP for each instrument and each analytical method used in the
laboratory.

www.remixeducation.in

PHARMACEUTICAL ANALYSIS UNIT-I

Instrumental error:

Due to defect in the instrument or non calibrated instrument is uesd.

Example:use of defective pipettes.

Electrical line voltage fluctuations are a particular problem.

This is especially true for automated instruments running unattended overnight. Instruments are
often calibrated during the day, when electrical power is in high demand.

At night , when power demand is lower, completely changing the relationship between conc. Of
analyte and measured signal.

Additive /constant errors:

Sometimes error will be constant throughout the analysis irrespective of amount/volume of
sample.

Ex:10.1, 20.1, 30.1ml

0.1 ml of error irrespective of volume.

Proportional Error:

>
>

proportionally increment in the absolute error.
Ex:10.1,20.2,30.3ml.
Absolute error 0.1 ml, 0.2ml , 0.3ml.

Errors in method:

> Wrong method selection
>Â» Example if any synthesis takes 3hrs to complete by we have given only 2hrs,then final

product will be defective.

INDETERMINATE OR RANDOM OR ACCIDENTAL ERROR :

>
>
>

These are random errors & may be known or not known to the analyst.
This error is unpredictable and difficult to identify
Sources of random error are :
Â¥ Samples handled improperly
Â¥ Inefficient or inappropriate equipment(E.g : A balance of low resolution or low grade
glassware )
Incorrect parameters of the method are employed
Presence of bubbles in burettes
Less trained operators
Fluctuation in environmental conditions like temperature & humidity

PHARMACEUTICAL ANALYSIS UNIT-I

MINIMIZATION OF ERRORS:

By the following ways errors can be minimized:

Calibration of apparatus and application of corrections
Running a blank determination

Running a control determination

Use of Independent method of analysis

Running of parallel determinations

Standard addition

Internal Standards

Amplification methods

LLL LKR

Isotopic Solutions

Calibration of apparatus and application of corrections:

> Calibration of instruments, apparatus and applying necessary corrections

Â» Instruments commonly used in lab, such as spectrophotometer, electrical balance etc must be
calibrated before use.

Â» Pipettes, burettes, volumetric flasks, thermometers must be calibrated.

Â» The response of most of the instruments changes with time because of wear corrosion or
mishandling, etc.

Â» The determinate personal errors may be eliminated by care, practice and self discipline

Running a blank determination:

> By using blank determination analyst can determinate impurities present in reagents &

ACCURACY:
Â» The difference between calculated value & accepted real value is known as
accuracy
Â» It refers to the closeness of a measured value to a standard or known value.
>Â» Eg: In lab, you obtain a weight measurements of 3.2kg for a given
substance, but the actual or known weight is 10kg.
Â» Then the measurement is not accurate. In this case, your measurement is
not close to the known value
PRECISION:

>Â» It is measureof reproducibility of data within a series of measurements of
the same quantity

Â» The results within series are closly with one another are said to be
precise.

Â» Precise results are not necessarily accurate.

>Â» Eg: If you weigh a given subsatance five times and get 3.2kg each time,
then your measurement is precise but inaccurate.

IMPURITIES

Impurities in pharmaceutical substances :

Â» Chemical purity means freedom from all foreign material.

>Â» Itis not possible to obtain an absolutely pure compound.

>Â» And even analytical pure samples contain minute trace of other
substances which are called as impurities.

>Â» Purification of chemicals is expensive and much costly.

>Â» Refined sugar contains more than 99.9% of sucrose, vacuum salt
made by purification of rock salt, contains more than 99.9% of
sodium chloride.

Disadvantages of Impurities :

1. Impurities which have a toxic effect and cause unpleasant reaction in the body
when present beyond certain limits.

E.g. Lead and Arsenic.

2. Impurities which, though otherwise harmless,are present in such proportions that
is not desirable.

E.g. presence of sodium bromide in the more expensive potassium bromide is not
likely to cause harm to the patient.

Â» However, potassium bromide should contain only potassium bromide and
not contain large amount of sodium bromide.

3. Impurities which lessen the keeping properties of the substance.

E.g. a small amount of moisture may cause many substances to be easy oxidized or
to undergo hydrolysis.

4. Impurities which render the substance incompatibility with other substances.

www.remixeducation.in

PHARMACEUTICAL ANALYSIS UNIT -I

5. Impurities which cause technical difficulties in use of the substance.
e.g. presence of potassium iodate in a sample or potassium iodide.

Â» Such a sample will liberate iodine on being mixed with a mineral acid due to
the interaction of both the substances

6. Impurities which impart a different odor or color to the main substance and so
are desirable.

e.g. sodium salicylate is often discolored due to phenolic impurities.

Â» Sodium chloride becomes damp due to the presence of traces of deliquescent
magnesium salts.

SOURCE OF IMPURITIES :

1. Raw material used in manufacture :

>Â» A good example is the presence of tin, lead ,silver, copper, cobalt, and gold
in bismuth salts.

Â» These metals occur along with bismuth in bismuth ores.

> Rock salt contains small amounts of calciumsulfate and magnesium
chloride, so that sodium chloride prepared from this source will almost
certainly contain trace of calcium and magnesium compounds.

2. The Methods of Manufacture :

* Contaminating by reagents and solvents during manufacturing process.
i. Reagents employed in the process

11. Reagents added to remove the other impurities

1. Solvents

iv. The Reaction Vessels

www.remixeducation.in

PHARMACEUTICAL ANALYSIS UNIT -I

i. Reagents employed in the process :

> lead as an impurity may results from the sulfuric acid used as
reagent, especially if it has prepared by the lead chamber process.

>Â» Soluble alkali may be an impurity in calcium carbonate if the
calcium carbonate is made by the reacting calcium chloride and

sodium carbonate and not properly washed.

ii. Reagents added to remove the other impurities :
>Â» Potassium bromide is liable to contain trace of barium which is
added in the course of the manufacturing process to remove the

excess sulfate.

ii. Solvents :

>Â» Water is the solvent easily available and cheap.
>Â» Itis used in manufacturing of inorganiccompounds.
Â» This can rise to a trace impurities such as sodium,calcium,

magnesium, carbonate, chloride and sulfate ions.
>Â» These difficulties do not arise in the use ofpurified or distilled or

demineralized water.

iv. The Reaction Vessels :
>Â» The vessels used in the manufacturing process are of metals like
copper, iron, aluminum, zinc, nickel and tin though these days

many of them are replaced with stainless steel.
>Â» The above metals are introduced as impurities due to the solvent

action of the raw materials.
>Â» Glass vessels may give rise to traces of alkali.

www.remixeducation.in

PHARMACEUTICAL ANALYSIS UNIT -I

3. Atmospheric contamination :

>Â» Atmospheric contamination may take place through dust, Sulphur
dioxide, hydrogen Sulfide etc.

>Â» Carbon dioxide and water vapor are possible contaminants of
substances which are affected by their action.

4. Decomposition of products during storage :

Â» Many chemical substances undergo changes due to careless
storages.

>Â» Ferrous sulfate is slowly changed into ferric oxide by air and
moisture.

>Â» Solution of potassium hydroxide absorbs carbon dioxide on
exposure to air and exerts a solvent action on lead glass.

> Bismuth carbonate turns black on exposure to sunlight for long
time.

5. Deliberate Adulteration with usless materials :

>Â» This still a common occurrence in some parts of the country where
the drugs and cosmetic act has not yet been properly enforced.

>Â» Therefore one has to be vigilant and purchase drugs only from
reputed manufacturers.

ACID BASE TITRATION (NEUTRALIZATION TITRATION) UNIT-II
SYLLABUS :
ACID BASE TITRATION

Theories of Acid Base Indicators, Classification of acid base titrations and theory involved in titration s of

strong ,weak, and very weak acids and bases, neutralization curves.
ACID BASE TITRATION

DEFINITION :
A Procedure used in quantitative chemical analysis to determine the concentration of either acid or a base.
A quick and accurate method for determining acidic or basic in many sample.

Titrant is the solution added from the burette.

The equivalent point is the point at which the amount of acid and base present exactly neutralizes one another.
(number of moles of OH - ions and number of moles of H + ions are equal)

Indicator is a substance that is generally added to the solution in the receiving vessel an which undergoes some
sort of colour change when reaction is over.

The end point of titration is the point when the indicator changes colour.
ACIDS: Substance that issloved in water to produce H + Ions

BASES: Substance that dissolve in water to produce OH- Ions.

ACID BASE TITRATION (NEUTRALIZATION TITRATION) UNIT-II
Theories:
There are three theories which explain the concepts of acid and bases..
1.Arrhenius theory
2.Bronsted-Lowry theory
3.Lewis theory
CONCEPT OF ACID AND BASE

There are number scientist framed the concept of acid and base, but they failed to prove. Finally Arrhenius
framed a successful concept of acid and base.

ARRHENIUS CONCEPT :
They defined acids and bases interms of the effect of the substance in water.

ACID:
A Substance when dissolved in water, it relese hydrogen ions [H+] in water. (or) it increase the
concentration of hydrogen ion.

Eg: HCl ~~ ----- > H+ + Cl-
BASE:

A substance when dissolved in water, it relese hydroxy] ion[OH-] in water. (or) it increase the concentration of
hydroxy ion.

Eg: NaOH ----- > Nat + OH-
The hydrogen ion is not a bare proton but it chemically bonded to water ie, H30+(hydronium ion) Eg: perchloric
acid.
HCIO4 + H20 wenn nen nne== > H30+ + Clo4
Arrhenius Acid
Any substance that releases hrâ€™ ions as the
only positive ion in the aqueous solution

ADVANTAGES:

Â» It is the first scientific theory giving definitions for acid and base.
Â» It classifies acids and bases according to their strength.

Â» It is characterized by simplicity.

Â» It is helpful in aqueous media.

LIMITATIONS OF ARRHENIUS CONCEPT

FREE H+ AND OH- IONS DO NOT EXIT IN WATER

Â¥ The ions[H+] and [OH-] produced by acid and base are do not exit in water in the free state. It associate with
water molecule to form complex ion through hydrogen bonding.
Â¥ Similarly, OH- ions form complex of H302-

ACID BASE TITRATION (NEUTRALIZATION TITRATION) UNIT-II
i) LIMITED TO WATER ONLY:
Here they explain the acid and base in water only. But acid and bases are appropriate to other solvents also.
iii) SOME BASES DO NOT CONTAIN HYDROXY ION[OH-] :

Arrhenius base- produce OH- ion in water. But there are compounds like Ammonia(NH3) and Calcium oxide(CaO)
are bases but contain no OH- ions

iv IT CANNOT EXPLAIN THE ACIDIC CHARACTER OF SOME SALT:

Eg: AIC]3 is a salt â€” in aqueous solution they fails to explain the acidic character of aluminium chloride.
BRONSTED-LOWERY CONCEPT

ACID:

Any molecule or ion that can donate a (H+)proton. (OR) A substance which has tendency to loss a proton.
BASE:

Any molecule or ion that can accept a proton. (OR) A substance which has tendency to gain a proton.
Simply,

CONJUGATE ACID BASE PAIRS:

In an acid base reaction the acid[HA] gives up its proton [H+] and produce a new base[A-]. A new base that related to

ACID BASE TITRATION (NEUTRALIZATION TITRATION) UNIT-II

ADVANTAGES OF BRONSTED LOWERY CONCEPT:

i)Has much wider scope because it embraces all molecules and ions that can donate proton and accept the proton.

ii)Not limited to aqueous solution.
Eg: NH3 + HCl â€” ----- > NH4+ + Cl-
iii)Relese of OH- not necessary to qualify as a base.
Eg: NH3 + H+ = ------- > NH4+
(ammonia)

LIMITATIONS OF BRONSTED CONCEPT

i)It cannot explain the reaction between acidic oxides like CO2, SO2, SO; etc... and basic oxides like CaO, BaO,

Mg0 etc which take place even in the absence of the solvent.
ii)Substance like BF3,AICl; etc..behave as acid but they do not have proton to loose or donate.

LEWIS CONCEPT

Â¥ The acid and base concept of bronsted and lowery are further extended by G.N.Lewis.
vÂ¥ They include many organic and inorganic reaction in which a proton is not involved.
Â¥ Lewis proposed the acid base concept by the electron pair theory of covalent bond.

ACID(LEWIS ACID) â€” Any species(molecule or atom or ion) which can accept a lone pair of electron to form
covalent (or) coordinate bond. (or) simply ACID is an electron pair acceptor.

Lewis acid are electrophilic.

Eg: all cations â€” Al3+,Mg2+,Cu2+,H+,7n2+.

BASE(LEWIS BASE) - Any species which can donate a lone pair of electrons to form covalent or coordinate bond.

(or) simply BASE is an electtron pair donor.
Lewis base are nucleophilic.

Eg: all anions â€” SO4-,Cl-,Br-,02-.

Boron trifluoride accepts the electron pair, soitisa
Lewis acid. Ammonia donates the electron pair,
so itis the Lewis base

BF3 has 6 valence electrons with B atom which can accept an electron pair and is a Lewis acid. The N atom of

NH3 has a lone electron pair and is a Lewis base.

ADVANTAGES:

>Â» All transfer or gain of a proton in bronsted acid base reaction are accompained by the loss or donation of

an electron pair of the reaction.
Â» More reactions of the reactants which do not have proton are involve in the acid base reaction.

Eg: BF3 + NH3 2 wee > BF3 â€” NH3

LIMITATION:

Â¥ Relative strengths of acids and bases are not explained by lewis.
Â¥ It does not explain the behaviour of well known protonic acid like HCl, H2S04 etc.. Which do not form

covalent bond with bases.

BUFFER
A solution has ability to resist changes in pH of the solution when limited amount of acid or base are added to it.
i)ACIDIC BUFFER:

YA Buffer solution which has a pH less than 7.
Â¥ These solution are commonly made from a weak acid and it salts.
Â¥ Eg: acetic acid and sodium acetate.

YA Buffer solution which has a pH more than 7.
Â¥ These solution are commonly made from a weak base and it salts.
Â¥ Eg: ammonia and ammonium chloride.

INDICATOR
Â¥Y An indicator is a substance which is used to determine the end point in a titration

Â¥ In acid-base titrations, organic substances (weak acids or weak bases) are generally used as indicators.
Â¥ They change their colour within a certain pH range.

Phenolphthalein

Phthalic anhydride react with phenol in the presence of conc.sulphuric acid forms a phenolphthalein

Phenolphthalein's common use is as an indicator in acid-base titrations.It is a white crystalline powder.It is insoluble

in water,but readily soluble in alcohol.

THEORY OF INDICATORS

An acid base indicator is a substance which a possesses one colour in acid solution and a different colour in alkaline

solution.
Two theories explain these colour changes

Â¥ Ostwald theory
Â¥ Quinonoid theory

OSTWALDS THEORY:

It based on ionization reaction.

VVV WV

According to this theory, colour of a solution is due to coloured ions.
Indicators are either weak organic acid or weak organic base.
Undissociated molecule has a different colour from dissociated ions.

-- ph ions so produced combine with Na+ ions to forms strongly ionized sodium salt(Naph) and thus
remain in solution in the ionc stage and impart a pink colour.

Ephedrine HCl

DEFINITION:

> It is the titration of substances dissolved in solvents other than water.
>Â» It is suitable for titration of very weak acid and very weak bases.

LIMITATIONS OF ACID BASE TITRATION

Â¥Y It is impossible to define the substance which are insoluble in water.

Â¥ It is impossible to titrate for a mix of acids or the bases.

Â¥ The substance which are too weakly acidic or too weakly basic cannot give sharp end point in
water.

ADVANTAGES OF NON AQUEOUS TITRATION

This titration is simple and accurate.

Organic acid and base that are insoluble in water are soluble in non aqueous solvent.
In a mixture of acid, an individual acid can separate end point in different solvents.
Weak acid and weak base can easily titrated.

UNIT-IIT PRECIPITATION TITRATION (OR) ARGENTOMETRIC TITRATION

SYLLABUS:

Precipitation titrations: Mohrâ€™s method, Volhardâ€™s Method, Modified Volhardâ€™s Method, Fajans
method, estimation of sodium chloride.

It is derived from a Latin word ARGENTUM which means Silver.
Definition of Precipitation Reaction:

A precipitation reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which two soluble salts in aqueous solution
combine and one of the products is an insoluble salt called a precipitate.

Precipitation Titration:

Titration involving precipitation at end of process is called as precipitation titration. most of metallic
halides are titrated by precipitation method.

Solubility:

The molar concentration of solute dissolved in solution at saturated condition at any temperature is
called solubility.

Eg: out of 5 moles of solute suppose 2moles of solute is ionized in a one liter solution at any fixed
temperature .therefore ,here solubility of solute is equal to 2moles.

Solubility product :

The product of molar concentration of ions raised to the power equal to its stoichiometric coefficient
presents in the ionic equation in saturated solution at a fixed tempreature is called solubility product.

Factors affecting the solubility of precipitate:
a) Effect of temperature
b) Effect of solvent
c) Effect of acid

d) pH of the solution

www.remixeducation.in

UNIT-IIT PRECIPITATION TITRATION (OR) ARGENTOMETRIC TITRATION

A) EFFECT OF TEMPREATURE :
with increased temperature solubility of precipitate increases
B) EFFECT OF SOLVENT :

By adding organic solvents(methyl,ethyl,.)the solubility of most of the organic compounds can be
reduced.

C) EFFECT OF ACID:

the solubilityof the salt of weak acid is affected by the addition of acid hydrogen ion of added acid
combines with the anions of the salt and forms weak acid thereby increasing the solubility of the salt .

D) EFFECT OF pH:
decreases pH increases solubility.
Methods of Precipitation Titration :

According to end point detection method, three main procedures are widely used depending on the type of
application. These are :

a) * Mohrâ€™s Method (Direct titration method)
b) Â¢Volhard Method ,Modified volhardâ€™s method(Indirect or back titration)

c) * Fajans Method (Direct titration).

Mohrâ€™s method (Karl Friedrich Mohr)

>Â» In 1856 Mohr introduced it.

Â» Mohrs method is used to determine the chloride & bromides .Eg.Nacl,NaBr,Kcl,KBr etc.....

Â» Todides cannot be determined by Mohrs method,because Iodide will also produce coloured
precipitate with Ag+

It is especially useful for the determination of chloride.
This is direct titration where,

The titrant is: 0.1M AgNQOs.

Analyte is : Cl (eg NaCl)

Indicator : potassium chromate (K2CrO4)

www.remixeducation.in

UNIT-IIT PRECIPITATION TITRATION (OR) ARGENTOMETRIC TITRATION

Principle:

In this method CI ion solution is directly titrated against AgNO3 using potassium chromate (K2CrO4 )
as the indicator.

Nacl + AgNOQ3 â€” ------------ > Agcl v + NaNO3
(Sodium chloride) (Silver nitrate) (Silver chloride) (Sodium Nitrate)
(White ppt)

At the end point, when all the chloride ions are removed. The yellow colour of chromate (indicator)
changes into reddish brown due to the following reaction. when the precipitation of cl- is complete,the
first excess of Ag+ reacts with the indicator to precipitate red silver chromate.

KoCrO4 + 2 AgNO3 0 ------------------ > AgeCrO4 + 2KNO3
(Yellow Solution) (Red ppt)

Reaction is carried out in neutral medium for determination of chloride,bromide & not used for Iodide
because of Agl & Ag2CrO4 is same(Reddish brown).

Procedure:

1.Filled burette with 0.1M AgNO3

2.Pipette out 25ml of Nacl solution on 250ml conical flask

3.Added 5 Drops of K2CrO4 as the indicator

4.Titrated with 0.1M AgNO3 Solution till the first colour changed .
5.At the End point formation of brick colour precipitate.
Conditions for Mohrâ€™s method

> Very dilute solution of pot chromate should be used

Â» The titration should be carried out neutral or slight alkaline condition i.e. pH 6.5 to 9.

>Â» In acidic condition, hydrogen chromate will be formed and in highly alkaline condition
silver hydroxide(Ksp =2.3 X 10-8)

Â» Solubility product of silver chromate increase with rise in temperature.

>Â» Ammonium salt, iodide salts and thiocyanate salt can not be done by Mohrâ€™s method
because In the presence of ammonium salt, the ammonia do have effect of solubility of
silver salt due to increase in pH

Â» Agl and AgSCN adsorb chromate strongly hence false , indistinct end point results

www.remixeducation.in

UNIT-IIT PRECIPITATION TITRATION (OR) ARGENTOMETRIC TITRATION

There is always some error in this method because a dilute chromate solution is used due to the
intense colour of the indicator.This will require additional amount of Ag+ for the Ag2CrOa to
form.

VOLHARD'S METHOD:
Described by Jacob Volhard, a German chemist in 1874.
This method is also known as the indirect method or back titration method.
So,Two types of titrant is used
Type I titrant is: 0.1M AgNO3.(added in excess to analyte)
Type IT :0.1 M KSCN(Potassium thiocynate ) or
0.1M NH4SCN(Ammonium thiocyanate) filled in burette.
Analyte is : Cl- (eg NaCl)
Other halides like Cl-,I-, & Br- can be determined by volhards method.

ADVANTAGES OF VOLHARDâ€™S METHOD:

Â» This method is useful where the titrations have to be performed at low pH.

Â» The strong acidic environment give advantage for halide analysis because ions like
carbonate, oxalate and arsenate do not interfere.

Â» Give accurate results due to back titration.

LIMITATIONS OF VOLHARDâ€™S METHOD:

> Can not be used where the solution has to be neutral
> Time consuming.
> Sometimes adsorption of Ag* may give false end point.

REASONS FOR THE VERSATILITY OF DISODIUM EDTA
>Â» It forms soluble stoichiometric 1:1 complex with metal ions.

On the basis of stability constants and control of pH of the solution, the metal ion in EDTA
titration are divided into 3 types:

I â€” metal ion titrated in basic condition (pH- 8-11)

Eg: magnesium, calcium and barium.

II â€” metal ion titrated in acidic to neutral condition (pH -4-7)
Eg: manganese, iron, copper, zinc.

III â€” metal ion titrated in acidic condition(pH -1-4)

Eg: mercury, bismuth, cobalt, titanium.

TYPES OF COMPLEXOMETRIC TITRATIONS

> Direct titration

> Back titration

> Replacement or substitution titration
> Alkalimetric titration

Direct titration :

Â©

Â» In this type of titration take a metal ion solution in conical flask and maintain necessary
pH by adding buffer solution(pH =10 with NH4Cl + NH1OH)

Then titrate with standard EDTA Solution in the presence of suitable indicator .

At the endpoint fast & big change obtain in the conc.of the metal ion.

Thus indicator gives colour change.
During the titration, if hydroxide of metal ion precipitated,the solution of citrate,tartret or

triethanol amine is added to prevent precipitation of metal hydroxide.
Â¢ Eg: Zn** .Mg* can be titrated by direct titration method.

Back titration:

â€œ* Back titration is used when
(i) Reaction is very slow as well

(ii) Indicators are not available.

(111) Sometimes metal ions is more stable than M- EDTA complex,so cannot be titrated by
direct titration method.

â€œ+ In such cases an excess of standard EDTA Solution is added & maintain necessary pH
by adding buffer solution.

â€œ* Excess of the EDTA is back titrated with a standard metal ion solution like Magnesium
sulphate / Magnesium chloride or Zinc sulphate / Zinc chloride solution in the presence
of suitable indicator.

â€œ+ By substracting volume of EDTA & unreact volume of EDTA,the volume of used

EDTA is calculated.

This type of titration is called back titration.

Eg. Co*?, Al** Cu Niâ€� can be titrated by back titration method.

Substitution or replacement titration may be used...,
(i)For meal ions that do not react with a metal indicator.

(ii) For Metal ions which form EDTA complexes that are more stable than those of other
metals such as Mg * or Zn*â„¢

Suppose concentration of M*" ion would be measure in the following way

For this solution of complex of Mg **, or Zn * with EDTA is added to Mâ„¢ meal ion
solution,therefore following reaction takes place

Mnâ€� +MgEDTAÂ® --------------- > MnEDTAâ€� + Mgâ€�

When solution of complex of Mg - EDTA Or Zn â€” EDTA is added to the solution of M*"
metal ion,equivalent amount of Mg * ions will be free,which will titrated by standard
EDTA Solution in the presence of suitable indicator by direct titration method.This
titration is called replacement titration.

y This is called as Masking and reagent is to be added for masksing its called as Masking

agent.
DEFINITION :

UNIT-IT =DIAZOTIZATION TITRATION

Types of Diazotization Titrations (or) Methods of Diazotization Titrations
There are mainly three types of methods based on the titration procedure. They are as follows:

1.Direct method: In this method is to treat the amino group containing drug with the acid
solution. The Obtained solution is immersed in the ice water bath at the temperature 0-5 Â°C. The
cooled solution is titrated with the sodium nitrite solution. The end point is determined by the
several methods.

2.Indirect method: In this method is that the excess nitrous acid is added to the titration sample
solution and it is back titrated with the another titrant. This method is mainly used for the
titration of insoluble diazonium salts.

3.Other method: The main principle involved in this method is the formation of the diazo oxide
which is more stable than the diazo compounds. For example, the aminophenol is readily
oxidized by the nitrous acid and converted to the quinones in the presence of copper sulphate
solution and forms the diazo oxide compounds.

ADVANTAGES:

Â» Selective for the all types of sulphonamides.
Â» Sensitive
> Reproducibility

DISADVANTAGES:

Applicable for a very less variety of samples.

Relatively slow when compared to other methods.

Temperature conditions to be properly maintained throughout the reaction.
The end point detection is very difficult.

The colour produced is not stable.

Lack of specificity.

VVVV VV

APPLICATIONS :

Â¥ Animportanat pharmaceutical application of sodium nitrite titration is the analysis of
sulphonamides by diazotization of primary aromatic amino group usually present in this
class of drug.

Â¥ Several sulphonamides require the formation of primary amine prior to diazotization step

Â¥ Eg.Phthalyl sulphathiazole & succinyl sulphathiazole are first hydrolyzed to give primary
aromatic amine & determined by sodium nitrite titration method

Â» This reaction between indicator & the analyte may sometimes be an irreversible one & in some
cases may lead to precipitation.

> So the end point is marked by failure.

> Such indicators are called as external indicator.

Example:
1.Potassium hexacyano ferrate

>Â» It used in titration of iron( II) by potassium dichromate.

Â» Drops of the solution removed to a spotting tile during the titration will give a deep Prussian blue
colour with Potassium hexacyano ferrate , because ferrous ions are still present

Â» At the end point,Iron only is present and this does not give a colour with potassium hexacyano
ferrate .

SELF INDICATOR:

>Â» Many times the titrant itself may be so strongly coloured that after he equivalence point.a single
drop of the titrant produce an intense colour in the reaction mixture.

> Such indicators are called self indicators.

IODIMETRIC TITRATION :
Definition:

Â¥ Oxidation & Reduction process involving Iodine is called in general Iodimetric titrations.
Â¥ Determination involving direct titration with iodine due to the oxidizing power of iodine
in aqueous solution is called as iodimetry.

Principle:

Â¥ Jodine is a mild oxidizing agent.

Â¥ The reversible reaction can be applied in analaysis of reducing agent such as thiosulphate
and arsenites by iodine.

Â¥ In most of direct titration with iodine of iodine in potassium iodide is employed, the
reactive species is tri iodide ion

SILVER/SILVER CHLORIDE REFERENCE ELECTRODE

>
>
>

Changes in ionic concentrations also change the reference potential.
Silver chloride is slightly soluble in strong potassium chloride solutions,
so it is sometimes recommended that the potassium chloride be saturated with silver
chloride to avoid stripping the silver chloride off the silver wire.
The silver-silver chloride reference electrode develops a potential proportional to the
chloride concentration, whether it is sodium chloride, potassium chloride, ammonium
chloride or some other chloride salt and remains constant as long as the chloride
concentration remains constant.
Most of reference electrodes use a saturated KC] solution with an excess of KCl crystals.
The extra KCI dissolves into the electrolyte as the potassium and chloride ions diffuse out
through the liquid junction in normal use.

Â» These are very simple indicator electrodes

In potentiometry ,the following 3 types of metal electrodes are used:

1. First Order Electrode : These electrodes are composed of a metal rod immersed in its
metal solution and are responsible for the ionic activity of the electrode.

For example :

Copper electrode dipped in copper sulphate solution Cu? +2e ----> Cu

Silver electrode dipped in silver nitrate solution Agt +e ------- >Ag

2. Second order Elecrodes: These electrodes are made up of the metal wires coated with

the salt precipitates .They respond to the changes in the ionic activity by the complex
formation.

For example :
Ag/ Agcl/ kel, and Hg/ Hgoclo/ Kel.

3. Third order electrodes: These electrodes are also named as redox or inert electrodes
They are consists of an inert metal electrode dipped in a redox solution.

UNIT-â€”V POLAROGRAPHY

SYLLABUS:

Principle ,[Ikovic equation,construction and working of dropping mercury electrode and rotating
platinum electrode,applications

DEFINITION OF POLAROGRAPHY :

> Itis an electroanalytical method.

Â» Itis used to identify & Estimate the electroactive material like metal ion present in the
solution.

Â» It involves the study of current voltage relationship at a dropping mercury electrode
under certain controlled condition

Â» Jaroslav Heyrovsky developed an apparatus called Polarograph which increases the
applied voltage at a steady rate & record the current voltage curve called polagram.

>Â» The term polarography is used when a dropping mercury electrode is used as the
working electrode (Cathode)

>Â» General name for this method is voltammetry

PRINCIPLE OF POLAROGRAPHY :

> During an electrolysis the reduction containing metal ion undergo reduction.

Cd** 42e 0 ---------- > Cd
>Â» The metal ion undergoing reduction may reach the surface of the electrode by
polarographic currents such as Migration,diffusion & convection current.

POLAROGRAPHIC CURRENTS

1.Residual current

2.Migration current

3.Diffusion current

4.Limiting current or Kinetic current

159

www.remixeducation.in

UNIT-â€”V POLAROGRAPHY

1.Residual current
Â» Combination of current produced by reduction of impurities,current produced by
Helmholtz double layer.
Ir =If + 1c
ir = residual current
if = Faradic current â€” due to impurities
ic = Non faradic current or capacitive current â€” due to electric double layer(Helmholtz double
layer) (OR)
The point from A to B a small current flow this is known as Residual current is carried by

supporting electrolyte & impurities present in the sample.
2. Migration current

>Â» The charged particles migrate towards the electrode surface under the influence of the

applied voltage.
3.Diffusion current

>Â» The particles (charged or not) present in the solution diffuse towards the electrode surface
under the influence of concentration gradient.
>Â» The value of diffusion current using dropping mercury electrode is given by IIkovic

equation

IIkovic equation

id=607ncDâ€�? m~ t'â€�

id = Diffusion current

607 = A combination of numerical constants ; n = number of electrons
D = Diffusion coefficient of metal ion ; C = Concentration of metal ion
M = Mercury flow rate ; t = Drop time in sec

Diffusion current is directly proportional to the concentration of electroactive metal present in

the solution( DIFFUSION CURRENT Of CONCENTRATION )

at each and every second in the on going analytical procedure
The reservoir is filled with mercury

Fine drops of mercury is allowed to flow from the tip of the capillary tube.
The capillary is connected to mercury reservoir by rubber tubing
Capillary tube of about 8 â€” 30 cm

Diameter of the mercury drop should be 0.5 to 1 mm.

A Platinum wire is inserted into the mercury for electrical contact

New mercury drop forms,grows and fall for every 2 to 6 seconds

At the applied voltage above + 0.4V mercury is oxidized to mercury I

Nitrogen gas Inlet & outlet are provided in the cell for expelling the
dissolved oxygen

Otherwise it will reduce at the DME & Produce its own polarogram in
addition to the original polarogram

Remove Oxygen by passing N>( 10 mins before the reaction)
Galvanometer measures the current

Voltmeter measure the applied potential

The drop time can be controlled by a mechanical knocker that will help to
dislodge the drop at a fixed time after the drop begins to form.
Then,gradually increasing voltage is applied to the polarographic cell &
current is recorded.

Graph is plotted between voltage applied & current

This graph is called polarography and the apparatus is known as polarogram

ADVANTAGES OF DME

>
>

Mercury being a noble metal ,it do not react with constituent of electrolytic
solution

It is responsible for the formation of amalgam with various metals,which
leaves clean surface.

Due to high hydrogen over voltage of mercury, DME is widely used.

It also provides a smooth,fresh surface for reaction

DISADVANTAGES OF DME

>
>
>
>
>

Capillary is very small and thus can be easily blocked

Mercury is highly toxic and poisonous

Mercury has measurable vapour pressure

Continual dropping of mercury make this method costly

Mercury used in DME must be highly pure,this make this method costly.

ROTATING PLATINUM ELECTRODE

>
>
>

It is also known as Rotating platinum Micro Electrode ( RPME) .

Instead Dropping Mercury Electrode RPME can be used.

DME has disadvanages that it cannot be used at high potential due to
Oxidation of mercury.

Therefore,Platinum electrode is used in such cases.

Platinum electrode is stationary then diffusion current will be slowly
attained,so to overcome this problem platinum electrode rotated at a constant
speed,which increasing sensitivity and rate of attaining steady diffusion
current.

Construction & Working of rotating platinum electrode :

>
>

The electrode is constructed from a standard seal.

It consists of about 5 mm platinum wire having 0.5mm diameter below
standard mercury seal by passing through small hole.

A wire from mercury seal is connected to the source that applies voltage.
The tubing forms steam of the electrode which is rotated at a constant speed
of 600 rpm.

Rotating platinum electrode is used as an indicator electrode.

Elecrical connection is made to the electrode by copper wire passing through
tubing to the mercury covering the platinum wire seal

To the analyte solution supporting electrolyte like Kcl is added.(1.e., 50 -100
times of sample concentration.

Pure Nitrogen Gas is bubbled through the solution to expel out the dissolved
oxygen.

Potential is applied across the electrodes and titration is started.

A Graph is plotted between the volume of solution added v/s diffusion
current & End point is detected.

UNIT-â€”V POLAROGRAPHY

ADVANTAGES :

>Â» The electrode is simple to construct.

Â» The rotating platinum micro electrode can be used at positive potential upto + 0.9V
Whereas DME range -2V to +0.4V.

Â» It is more sensitive because diffusion current is 20 times larger than in the case of DME.
