FORM 3 CHEMISTRY TOPIC: STOICHIOMETRY
Stoichiometry is the study of the
relative quantities of reactants and products in chemical reactions. It involves calculations, so the application of mathematical skills is essential. LESSON STANDARD SOLUTIONS SUCCESS CRITERIA By the end of this lesson, you must be able to: Describe the preparation of a standard solution by dissolution method, Describe the preparation of a standard solution by dilution method. DEFINING STANDARD SOLUTION
accurate measurements must be taken with regard to: Masses of solutes by using accurate weighing balances. Volumes of solutions by using volumetric apparatus, e.g. pipette, burette, measuring cylinder and volumetric flasks. ELECTRONIC WEIGHING BALANCE TRIPLE BEAM BALANCE VOLUMETRIC GLASSWARE PREPARING STANDARD SOLUTIONS BY:
DISSOLUTION DILUTION METHOD METHOD
A specific amount A more
of solid substance concentrated is dissolved in solution is diluted distilled water. to give a less concentrated solution. 1. DISSOLUTION METHOD
Example: How to prepare 250𝑐𝑚3 sodium
hydroxide (NaOH) solution of concentration 0.4M. RAMs: Na = 23, O = 16, H = 1. Calculate mass of NaOH to be dissolved as follows: Number of moles = molarity × volume in 𝑑𝑚3 = 0.4mol/𝑑𝑚3 × 250 𝑑𝑚3 1000 = 0.1mol CALCULATION OF MASS Continues…
Molar mass (𝑀𝑟 ) of NaOH = 23 + 16 + 1 = 40g
This means mass of 1mol of NaOH = 40g Mass of 0.1mol of NaOH = 0.1mol × 40g 1mol = 4g 4g is the mass of NaOH to be dissolved. See the procedure on the next slide. DISSOLUTION PROCEDURE
Use an accurate balance to weigh out exactly 4g
of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in a beaker. Add a little distilled water and stir or shake. Transfer the solution into a 250𝒄𝒎𝟑 volumetric flask. (See picture of flask on next slide). Add more distilled water up to the mark and close the flask with a stopper. Label it 0.4M NaOH. 𝟑 250𝒄𝒎 VOLUMETRIC FLASK 2. DILUTION METHOD
A more concentrated solution is diluted to
give a less concentrated solution. The initial and more concentrated solution is also called stock solution. Dilution involves adding distilled water to a specific volume of the stock solution. FORMULA OF DILUTION
It is also called the law of dilution.
It is as follows: 𝑪𝟏 × 𝑽𝟏 = 𝑪𝟐 × 𝑽𝟐 Where 𝑪𝟏 is initial concentration 𝑽𝟏 is initial volume 𝑪𝟐 is new or final concentration 𝑽𝟐 is new or final volume DILUTION METHOD BY EXAMPLE
How to prepare a 500𝑐𝑚3 hydrochloric acid
(HCl) solution of concentration 0.2M from a 2M HCl solution.
2M hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution using a measuring cylinder. Transfer the measured volume into a 500𝒄𝒎𝟑 volumetric flask. Add distilled water and shake the solution thoroughly. DILUTION PROCEDURE Continues…
Add more distilled water up to the mark of
the volumetric flask. Close the flask and label it 0.2M HCl.
Note: When using the formula of dilution,
it is not necessary to convert units, e.g. 𝑐𝑚3 to 𝑑𝑚3 or ml to litres (l). SUMMARY
Two main ways of preparing standard
solutions are: 1. Dissolution method, which involves dissolving a solute in distilled water. 2. Dilution method, in which distilled water is added to a concentrated solution. REVIEW EXERCISE
1. Describe how a 500𝑐𝑚3 solution of
0.2M potassium chloride (KCl) could be prepared (RAMs: K = 39, Cl = 35.5) 2. Describe how a 250ml volume of 0.4M lithium hydroxide (LiOH) solution could be prepared from a 5M LiOH stock solution. END OF LESSON
