5.4.4.5 Operate potentiometer according to SOP.
5.4.4.6 To neutralize analyte add titrant fixed
volume (1ml, 0.5ml or 0.1ml) from burette every time note the reading of change
in potential difference (millivolts) for each addition in given annexure-1.
5.4.4.7 Plot a graph, volume used v/s millivolts.
5.4.4.8 Find out the END POINT. Read the volume
added between the 2 points of inflexion.
5.4.4.9 Peak of graph indicates END POINT i.e. the
point at which maximum millivolts. Note down volume used at that point.
5.4.4.10 Perform blank titration without using
sample. Similarly, as sample titration performed. Record observations in
annexure-1.
5.4.4.11 Calculate volume used by substance by
using formula:
Volume
used by substance = Blank titration - Sample titration.
5.4.4.12 Calculate percentage purity of the sample
by using formula:
%age
purity = volume used by substance x factor x 100
Weight of sample
5.4.5
Factor:
5.4.5.1 1ml of 0.1M sodium hydroxide is equivalent
