science note acidimetry and alkalimetry
Acidimetry / Alkalimetry It is a type of volumetric analysis. It is based on neutralization reaction. If the concentration of acid is to be determinded, certain volume of acid is taken in conical flask, which is allowed to react with standard solution of alkali which is taken in burette. The volume of alkali required for complete reaction is determined. The completion of reaction is detected by using a indicator. Therefore by using equation V1N1=V2N2, we can calculate the concentration of acid. In short, Acidimetry is the process of determining the concentration of acid by reacting it with standard solution of alkali. Similarly, Alkalimetry is the process of determining the concentration of Alkali by tit rating it with standard solution of acid. --> Principal of volumetric analysis During chemical reaction, substances react in definite ration of their equivalent weight. Hence principle of volumetric analysis is supposed to be based on chemical equiv...
