Determination of the acidity of lithium tetrafluoroborate
Thread Content
I want to determine the acidity of lithium tetrafluoroborate. Since its concentration is low (only a few dozen ppm), acid-base titration requires a large amount of sample; are there any other methods? Thank you
Why is the acidity of lithium tetrafluoroborate expressed in ppm? If it is expressed in this way, that is, if it is already known with certainty that the acidity of this material is caused by a specific acid, can’t we simply analyze that acid radical?
Lithium tetrafluoroborate hydrolyzes upon contact with water, producing hydrofluoric acid and fluoroboric acid. Its acidity is very weak, so only its total acidity can be determined.
