Determination of Equivalent Weight (or Neutralization Equivalent)
Molecular Weight Determination
Generally, any acid (or base) can be titrated using standard solutions of base (or acid). The neutralization equivalent obtained is usually a simple fraction of the molecular weight (1, 1/2, 1/3, etc). In the titration of an acid with standard base, the endpoint is reached when all the acid is neutralized and a drop of excess base is added. If phenolphthalein is used as the indicator, it will tu red at this instant. For a dicarboxylic acid such as malonic acid, the endpoint is reached when the last of the acid is converted to the carboxylate anion. The neutralization equivalent will be one-half its molecular weight.
CH2 (CO2H) 2 + 2 NaOH ----- CH2(CO2Na) 2 + 2 H2O
Equivalent weights must be done in duplicate and the values obtained should agree within a few percent. If not, do a third determination.
The equivalent weight (neutralization equivalent) can be calculated as follows:
V (ml) x M (mmol/ml)= wt (mg)/equivalent weight (mg/mequiv); V = volume of standard base used measured accurately to at least 3 significant figures; M= molarity of s Identify Carboxylic acids , amines and amino acids...
