Seguimiento de una titulación mediante conductividad eléctrica

Objetivo

Realizar una titulación ácido-base usando mediciones de conductividad en lugar de un indicador, y determinar el punto final a partir de un gráfico conductividad-volumen.

Antecedentes

In a conductometric titration, electrical conductivity of the solution is measured as the titrant is added. Since different ions have different molar conductivities (H+ and OH- are exceptionally mobile), the conductivity changes non-linearly during titration. The endpoint is found where two straight-line segments of the conductivity curve intersect.

Advertencias de seguridad

  • HCl and NaOH are corrosive
  • Wear safety goggles and gloves
  • Keep the conductivity probe away from the magnetic stirrer bar

EPP requerido

Materiales

  • Hydrochloric acid (HCl) (100 mL)
    0.1M
  • Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) (100 mL)
    0.1M
  • Distilled water (200 mL)

Equipamiento

50 mL burette Burette stand and clamp 250 mL beaker Conductivity meter with probe Magnetic stirrer 25 mL pipette Graph paper

Procedimiento

1

Pipette 25.0 mL of 0.1M HCl into the beaker. Add 50 mL of distilled water to increase volume for the probe.

3 min Handle HCl carefully
2

Place the beaker on the magnetic stirrer. Insert the conductivity probe and the stir bar.

2 min
3

Record the initial conductivity reading. Fill the burette with 0.1M NaOH.

3 min
4

Add 1.0 mL of NaOH from the burette. Stir for 30 seconds, then record the conductivity and cumulative volume.

2 min
5

Repeat step 4, adding 1.0 mL increments, recording conductivity after each addition. Continue until well past the expected endpoint.

25 min
6

Plot conductivity (y-axis) versus volume of NaOH added (x-axis). Identify the two linear regions.

8 min
7

Draw best-fit lines for the two regions and find their intersection. This is the endpoint.

5 min

Resultados esperados

Conductivity initially decreases as highly mobile H+ ions are replaced by less mobile Na+ ions. After the endpoint, conductivity increases as excess OH- ions accumulate. The V-shaped graph clearly shows the equivalence point.

Limpieza

Remove and rinse the conductivity probe carefully. Neutralize waste solutions before disposal. Rinse all glassware.
