Solution
Correct Answer:
Analyte reacts slowly or incompletely; excess standard added then back-titrated
- The Problem: Sometimes the direct titration between an analyte and a titrant is too slow, lacks a sharp endpoint, or is otherwise incomplete.
- The Procedure: A known, excess amount of a standard reagent is added to the analyte.
- Step 1: Allow the analyte to react completely with the excess reagent.
- Step 2 (The Back Titration): Titrate the remaining (unreacted) amount of that standard reagent with a second standard titrant.
- Calculation: Analyte reacted=Total added−Remaining. This indirect method is common for analyzing insoluble carbonates or amines.
