Determination of the Solubility Product
Constant of an Organic Salt
prepared by Judith C. Foster, Bowdoin College
Purpose of the Experiment |
| Determine the solubility and solubility product constant of Potassium hy-
drogen tartrate by titrimetry,
Background Information
A complete characterization of a chemical system in-
volving substances dissolved in water includes study-
ing the relevant equilibria. For the generalized chemi-
cal reaction aA + DB == cC + dD, the equilibrium
constant expression is: ,
¢
= rer (Eo. 1)
[AB
In the case of an acid salt, such as sodium hydro-
gen oxalate monohydrate (NaHCO, + HO} dissolving
in water, an equilibrium is established among solid sa-
dium hydrogen oxalate (NaHCO, ), sodium ion (Nat),
and hydrogen oxalate ion (HC,0,7}, as shown in
Equation 2.
NaHC,0,(s} = Na*(aq) +HC,0, (aq) (Eq. 2)
A quantitative characterization of this equilibrium
would invoive determination of the amount of dis-
solved NaHC,,0,(aq) in the presence of excess solid
NaHC,0,(s). From Equation 2, we see that one mole
of Na* and one mole of HC,0,- would be present in
solution if one mole of NaHCO, dissolved. The molar
ratio of dissociated NaHCO, to Nat in solution to
HC,0,7 in solution would be 1:1:1, Thus, by determin-
ing the concentration of HC.0,” in solution, we can
find the amount of dissolved NaHC,0,. The concen-
tration of HC2O,” in solution could be determined by
the direct titration of the filtered solution with a stan-
dard NaOH solution, as hydrogen oxalate ion is a
weak acid. Since the molar ratio of HC,Q,7 to
NaHC,0, is 1:1, the solubility of the acid salt will be
numericaily equal to [HC,0,.7J.
Asis the case with all equilibrium constant expres-
sions, the amount of solid present does not affect the
equilibrium concentrations, se jong as some solid is
Present. The process involved in the dissolution of so-
dium hydrogen oxalate is shown in Equation 2. The
concentrations of all solids are assigned a value of 1.0,
and therefore the concentrations of solids do not ap-
Pear in the equilibrium constant expressions.
The equilibrium constant for solids dissolving in a
solvent is termed the solubility product constant,
K,,. For the reaction in Equation 2, Kg, is written as
shown in Equation 3.
Keg = [Nat*YHC,04°1 (Eq. 3)
The true Kop expression involves a correction for the
behavior of ions in solution, Most ionic solutions are
not dilute, and their behavior is not always ideal. The
vaiue calculated using Equation 3 is a close approxi-
mation of the actual K,,.
