In a simple acid-base titration,a base (reagent) is added in a known quantity greater than the amount required for acid neutralization.
The system has gone from being ACID, past the equivalent point to the BASIC (excess base), and back to the equivalent point again. The final titration to the equivalent point is called BACK TITRATION.
Back titration
reaction is slow.
The system has gone from being ACID , past the equivalence point to the BASIC side (excess base), and then back to the equivalence point.
SET UP EXPERIMENT
React with the excess volume of reactant which has been left over after completing reaction with the analyte from the normal titration
The substance or solution of unknown concentration of excess intermediate reactant is made to react with known volume and concentration of intermediate reactant solution in back titration
Properties of back-titration
Throughout back titration, the reaction can reach the completion quickly as the excess reactant that react with the NaOH (as example) heated, and is much easier to measure
the proportion consumed in the reaction of back titration being obtained by difference
Back titration is designed to resolve some of the problems encountered with forward or direct titration. Possible reasons for devising back titration technique are :
3: The analyte reacts slowly with titrant in direct or forward titration. The reaction with the intermediate reactant can be speeded up and reaction can be completed say by heating. 4: Weak acid weak base reactions can be subjected to back titration for analysis of solution of unknown concentration. Recall that weak acidweak weak titration does not yield a well defined change in pH, which can be detected using an indicator.
useful if the endpoint of the reverse titration is easier to identify than the endpoint of the normal titration
useful when trying to work out the amount of an acid or base in a nonsoluble solid.
Instruments have to be properly calibrated since it will give affected the final result.
Reactivity of the elements to be titrated should be well researched since this may affect the end point.
Example 1 150.0 mL of 0.2105 M nitric acid was added in excess to 1.3415 g calcium carbonate. The excess acid was back titrated with 0.1055 M sodium hydroxide. It required 75.5 mL of the base to reach the end point. Calculate the percentage (w/w) of calcium carbonate in the sample.
CALCULATION
2. Write balanced equation 2HNO3 + CaCO3 Ca(NO3)2 + CO2 + H2O ------ 1 HNO3 + NaOH NaNO3 + H2O ------- 2 2 mole of HNO3 react with 1 mole of CaCO3 1 mole of HNO3 react with 1 mole of NaOH
3. Calculate no of mole Initial amount HNO3: No of mole of acid = 0.2105 x 150 = 31.575 mole acid. Excess acid No of mole of excess acid = 0.1055 x 75.5 = 7.965 mmole acid
mole of acid reacted with CaCO3 = ( 31.575 7.965 ) = 23.61 mole acid 4. Mole ratio 2 mole of HNO3 react with 1 mole of CaCO3
Thus,23.61 mole of HNO3 react with (23.61) mole of CaCO3 mole of CaCO3 = x mole acid = x 23.61 = 11.805 mole CaCO3.
5. Find mass Gram CaCO3 = mole x molar mass = 11.805 x 10-3 x 100 = 1.1805 g. 6.Find percentage
weight CaCO3

= 87.99 % (w/w)
A 0.500g sample containing Na2CO3 is analyzed by adding 50.0ml of 0.100M HCL, a slight excess, boiling to remove CO2, and then back-titrating the excess acid with 0.100M NaOH . If 5.6ml NaOH is required for the back titration, what is the percent Na2CO3 in the sample? Molar mass for Na2CO3 = 106 Answer: 47.1%
