A secondary standard solution is a solution that is, made specifically for a certain analysis. A secondary, standard is a substance whose active agent contents have, been found by comparison against a primary standard. This, means it is usually standardized against a primary standard., Secondary standard solutions are used to calibrate, analytical equipment and analytical techniques., However, the purity of these solutions is less, compared to primary standards and the reactivity is high., Due to this high reactivity, these solutions get contaminated, easily. Some common examples are anhydrous sodium, hydroxide and potassium permanganate. These compounds, are hygroscopic., , Units: In analytical chemistry, a standard solution is a, , solution containing a precisely known concentration of an, , element or a substance. A known mass of solute is, dissolved to make a specific volume. It is prepared using a, standard substance, such as a primary standard. Standard, solutions are used to determine the concentrations of other, substances, such as solutions in titration., The concentrations of standard solutions are nonnally, expressed in units of moles per litre (mol/L, often, abbreviated to M for molarity), moles per cubic decimetre, (mol/dm3), kilomoles per cubic metre (kmol/m3) or in, terms related to those used in particular titrations (such as, titres A simple standard is obtained by the dilution of a, single element or a substance in a soluble solvent with, which it reacts., , 136

compound to act like (proton) acceptor. The basicity of a, chemical compound is expressed by the acidity of the, , conjugate acid, Primary standard and secondary solution: Primary Standard Solution, Primary standard solutions the solutions made fonn, primary standard substances. These substances have a high, purity which nearly equals 99.9% purity. We can dissolve, this substance in a known volume of solvent in order to, obtain the primary standard solution. These solutions can, involve chemical reactions. Therefore, we can use this, , reagent to determine the unknown concentration of a, solution that undergoes a particular chemical reaction., These solutions have specific chemical and physical, properties. For example, these solutions have a high purity, and are highly stable. In titrations, we should standardize, all the solutions we use for the titration before doing the, experiment. This is because, even though we take the exact, amounts of substances to make those solutions, they may, not have the exact concentration that we expect because, , those substances are not that much pure. Some examples of, primary standards include potassium bromate (KBr03),, sodium chloride, zinc powder, etc., , Secondary Standard Solution?, Secondary standards solutions are the solutions made, from secondary standard substances. We prepare these, solutions for a specific analytical experiment. We should, determine the concentration of these solutions using, primary standards. Most of the times, these solutions are, , useful for the calibration of analytical instruments., , 135

8. If the reagent or reactant that we use is to be made into, a standard solution then we can weigh and dissolve the, reagent into a solution, so that it is in a definitive, volume within a volumetric flask., Basic principles of volumetric analysis, , The basic principle of the titration is the following: A, solution - a so called titrant or standard solution - is added, to sample to be analyzed. The titrant contains a known, concentration of a chemical which reacts with the substance, to be determined. The titrant is added by means of a, bu.rette., 1. The solution to be analyzed contains an unknown, , 2., , 3., 4., , 5., , amount of chemicals., The reagent of unknown concentration reacts with a, chemical of an unknown amount in the presence of an, indicator (mostly phenolphthalein) to show the endpoint. It's the point indicating the completion of the, reaction., The volumes are measured by titration which completes, the reaction between the solution and reagent., The volume and concentration of reagent which are, used in the titration show the amount of reagent and, solution., The amount of unknown chemical in the specific, volume of solution is determined by the mole fraction, of the equation., , When the endpoint of the reaction is reached, the volume of, reactant consumed is measured and applied to carry, volumetric analysis calculations of the analyte by the, following formula,, Ca= Ct Vt M I Va, 132

In other words, measuring the volume of a second, substance that combines with the first in known proportions, is known as Volumetric analysis or titration. It is this, method of quantitative analysis that allows us to determine, the concentration of the analyte., , Procedure for Volumetric Analysis, I. A typical titration starts with a beaker or flask, containing a precise volume of the analyte and small, amount of indicator placed underneath a calibrated, burette or pipette containing the titrant., 2. The solution that needs to be analysed needs to have an, accurate weighed in the sample of +/- 0.0001g of the, material to be analysed., 3. Choosing the right kind of material to be analysed is, also very important, as choosing the wrong type of, titrant will give us the wrong results. A substance that, reacts rapidly and completely to produce a complete, solution is chosen., 4. Small quantities of titrant are added to the analyte and, indicator till the indicator changes colour in reaction to, the titrant saturation threshold reflects the arrival at the, endpoint of the titration., 5. The titration has to be continued up until the reaction is, complete and the amount of reactant added is exactly, the amount that is needed to complete the reaction., 6. Another important step is in measuring the right volume, of the standard solution since molarity is a standard, metric to calculate the number of moles present in a, solution., 7. Based on the desired endpoint, single drops or less than, a drop of the titrant makes a difference between a, permanent and temporary change in the indicator., 131
