The phosphorus in a 4.

258 g sample of plant

food was converted to PO43- and precipitated
as Ag3PO4 by adding 50.00 mL of 0.0820 M
AgNO3. The excess AgNO3 was back-titrated
with 4.06 mL of 0.0625 M KSCN. Expess the
results of this analysis in terms of %P2O5
 KJELDAHL METHOD

A 0.917 g sample of canned tuna was analyzed by

the Kjeldahl method. A volume of 20.59 mL 0.1249
M HCl was required to titrate the liberated
ammonia. Calculate the percentage of nitrogen in
the sample.
A 0.5843 g sample of a plant food preparation was analyzed
for its N content by the Kjeldahl method, the liberated NH3
being collected in 50.00 mL of 0.1062 M HCl. The excess acid
required an 11.89 mL back titration with 0.0925 M NaOH.

A 50.00 mL aliquot of 0.0500 M NaCN
(Ka for HCN = 6.2 x 10-10) is titrated with 0.1000 M HCl.
The reaction is

CN- + H3O+ HCN +H2O

Sulfuric acid is unusual in that one of its protons
behaves as a strong acid in water and the other as a
weak acid (Ka2 = 1.02 x 10-2 ). Let us consider how
the hydronium ion concentration of sulfuric acid
solutions is computed using a 0.0400 M solution as
an example.
A solution contains NaHCO3, Na2CO3, and NaOH, either
alone or in a permissible combination. Titration of a
50.0 mL portion to a phenolphthalein end point
requires 22.1 mL of 0.100 M HCl. A second 50.0 mL
aliquot requires 48.4 mL of the HCl when titrated to a
bromocresol green end point. Determine the
composition and the molar solute concentrations of
the original solution.
 If the solution contained only NaOH, the volume of acid required would be the
same regardless of indicator. Similarly, we can rule out the presence of
Na2CO3 alone because titration of this compound to a bromocresol green end
point would consume just twice the volume of acid required to reach the
phenolphthalein end point. Actually the second titration requires 48.4mL.
Because less than half of this amount is used in the first titration, the solution
must contain some NaHCO3 in addition to Na2CO3. we can then calculate the
concentration of the two constituents.
EDTA Titration curves when a
complexing agents is present
We can describe the effects of an auxiliary complexing reagent by a
procedure similar to that used to determine the influence of pH on
EDTA titration curve. In this case, we define a quantity αM that is
analogous to α4:
