Shiundu P.M. Chemistry 3: Volumetric Chemical Analysis

African Virtual University, 2018. — 149 р.This module covers introductory topics that are fundamental to analytical chemistry; the branch of chemistry that deals with qualitative and quantitative aspects of chemical analysis. In this module, we shall examine the quantitative aspects of reactions in aqueous solution. These quantitative dimensions are sometimes referred to as solution stoichiometry. The focus will be on volumetric chemical analysis and specifcally titration, which is one of the techniques for studying solution stoichiometry. Through titration, the quantitative studies of acid-base neutralization reactions will be covered. In addition, a review of the basic concepts of chemical equilibria and specifcally, acid-base equilibria will also be treated.
