Titration

• What is the purpose of titration?

  To work out the concentration of an acid or alkali
• What is placed in the burette during a titration?

  An acid or alkali with a known concentration
• What is contained in the conical flask during a titration?

  An acid or alkali with an unknown concentration
• What is the role of the indicator in a titration?

  To show a color change at the end point
• What is the end point in a titration?


  The point at which a color change indicates neutralization
• How should you add the chemical from the burette as you approach the end point?

  Add drop by drop
• How do you read the volume of liquid in the burette?

  At the bottom of the meniscus at eye level
• How should results from a titration be recorded?

  To 2 decimal places
• What is the significance of obtaining 2 concordant results in titration?

  It ensures accuracy and reliability of the results
• What is the balanced equation for the reaction between HCl and KOH?
