PHOTOMETRIC TITRATION OF WEAK BASES IN NON-AQUEOUS MEDIA

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4211101

The photometric titration technique is used for the determination of weak bases using perchloric acid in acetic acid as titrant and acetic acid or acetonitrile as solvent. Differentiating titration of as many as four components in a single mixture is shown to be possible. Comparison with potentiometric titrations in the same media shows the photometric technique to be preferable in many instances where the bases to be differentiated are very similar in strength. The versatility of the photometric procedure in differentiating bases is greatly increased by the device of changing wavelength during titration of mixtures. (auth)
