surface groups/area
« on: August 18, 2010, 04:22:45 PM »
I just got done performing a back titration in order to determine the number of carboxylic acid groups on the surface of my substrate. So knowing the volume and concentration of the titrant (also having performed a titration on a blank) and the surface area of my substrate with carboxylic acid groups on the surface, how do I go about computing the number of carboxylic groups per surface area? Also,

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks! Looking forward to everyone's suggestions and comments.

Calculate number of moles of -COOH groups, convert to number of -COOH groups, divide by surface.
