coulometric titration graph
« on: December 09, 2009, 04:22:00 PM »
i titrated 2 ml of a monoprotic acid to find its concentration, and repeated it  5 times.
i used a computer program to do that and got a graph which shows amplitude against time elapsed.
the time measured between two points on the graph with the same amplitude was about 90 sec.
is there a way of finding the acid concentration without knowing the current?
(in the preperation for this lab it says that the current is between 20 and 50 mA)

You don't have to know current, but you have to know charge.

the charge of which molecule should i know?
i know that the electrode produced OH- ions, and the acid produce one H+
i dont understand what should i do next.

Not charge of the molecule, but charge that passed through the solution. Please read in your textbook what the coulometric titration is about.
