Finding out the concentration of an acid or base

AI Thread Summary
To determine the concentration of an acid or base without using titration, two effective methods discussed are freezing point depression and density measurements. Freezing point depression and boiling point elevation can provide insights into concentration levels. For density measurements, specific gravity can be utilized, with existing literature offering concentration versus specific gravity data. Additionally, a creative approach involves diluting the acid with water and measuring the heat released during the reaction, which can also indicate concentration levels. The discussion also touches on the pharmaceutical applications of acid-base titration, highlighting its relevance in various chemical analyses.

Hello I really need help for working out the concentration of an acid / base.

1) How can we use a simple thermochemistry measurement and a density measurement, to find the concentration of an acid or alkali? (other than titration)

2) How do you devise an experiment to estimate the concentration of an acid / alkali?
 
Chemistry news on Phys.org
1) freezing point depression; 2) look at the question again --- most people include the answer in the question statement.
 
I have 1 question?

What is the pharmaceutical application of acid-base titration?

Can anyone help me please?
 
Freezing point depression/boiling point elevation is one way to do it. As far as density measurements go, simply measure the specific gravity. Concentration vs. specific gravity data is widely available in literature.

Another more creative way to measure concentration is by adding water to the acid and measuring the heat that is released.
 
I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
