Resonance in Chemistry, Equivalent Concept & Titration
For Class 11/12, Entrance Exams (NEET, JEE), and University Basics
1. Resonance in Chemistry
Definition:
Resonance is the delocalization of electrons in a molecule where a single Lewis structure cannot accurately represent the molecule.
In simple terms:
Resonance occurs when more than one structure can be drawn for a molecule by only changing the position of electrons, not atoms.
Key Points:
-
The actual structure is a resonance hybrid, not any one of the individual forms.
-
Resonance increases the stability of the molecule.
-
Shown by double-headed arrows (โ).
Example: Benzene (CโHโ):
Resonating Structures:
C=CโC=CโC=C โ CโC=CโC=CโC
The real structure is a hybrid with equal bond lengths between carbon atoms.
2. Equivalent Concept in Chemistry
Definition:
An equivalent is the amount of a substance that will react with or supply one mole of Hโบ ions (acid-base) or one mole of electrons (redox).
Formula:
Equivalent weight (E) =
Molar Mass (M)n-factor\frac{\text{Molar Mass (M)}}{\text{n-factor}}n-factorMolar Mass (M)โ
Where:
-
n-factor = number of Hโบ ions replaced (acid-base)
โโโโโ= number of electrons transferred (redox)
Examples:
-
HโSOโ (Sulfuric acid):
Molar mass = 98 g/mol, n-factor = 2
โ Equivalent weight = 98 / 2 = 49 g/eq -
NaOH:
Molar mass = 40, n-factor = 1
โ Equivalent weight = 40 g/eq
3. Titration (Acid-Base Reaction Method)
Definition:
Titration is a quantitative chemical analysis used to determine the concentration of an unknown solution using a solution of known concentration.
Types:
-
AcidโBase Titration
-
Redox Titration
-
Complexometric Titration
-
Precipitation Titration
Basic AcidโBase Titration Equation:
N1V1=N2V2N_1V_1 = N_2V_2N1โV1โ=N2โV2โ
Where:
-
Nโ = Normality of acid
-
Vโ = Volume of acid
-
Nโ = Normality of base
-
Vโ = Volume of base
Used to find unknown normality or volume.
Indicators Used:
Titration Type | Indicator |
---|---|
Strong Acid + Strong Base | Phenolphthalein / Methyl orange |
Weak Acid + Strong Base | Phenolphthalein |
Strong Acid + Weak Base | Methyl orange |
In Summary:
Topic | Concept Summary |
---|---|
Resonance | Electrons delocalized in multiple forms; actual structure is a hybrid |
Equivalent | Mass that reacts with 1 mol Hโบ/eโป; depends on n-factor |
Titration | Volume-based method to find concentration using a standard solution |
