Titration

• What method do all titrations follow?

  The same overall method
• What should you pour into a burette during titration?

  One solution, such as an acid
• Why is it important to use a funnel when filling the burette?

  To ensure the jet is filled properly
• What should you do after removing the funnel from the burette?

  Read the initial burette volume
• How do you add a measured volume of another solution during titration?

  Use a pipette to add the solution
• What is the purpose of adding a few drops of indicator to the solution?

  To visualize the endpoint of the titration
• What should you do when the indicator changes color during titration?

  Stop adding the titrant solution
• What should you read after completing the titration?

  The final burette volume
• How do you calculate the volume of titrant used?

  Final volume minus initial volume
• What is the significance of repeating the titration?

  To ensure accuracy and reliability
• What should you do if the indicator color change is not clear?

  Repeat the titration for clarity
• What is the purpose of a pipette in titration?

  To measure a specific volume of solution
• Why is it important to stop adding acid when the indicator changes color?

  To avoid overshooting the endpoint
• What should you do if you accidentally add too much titrant?

  Start the titration over again
• How does the use of a conical flask benefit the titration process?

  It allows for easy swirling of the solution
• What is the final step after completing the titration?

  Calculate the concentration of the solution
• What are the key steps in performing a titration?

  1. Prepare the burette with one solution.
  2. Use a pipette to add a measured volume of another solution to a conical flask.
  3. Add a few drops of indicator to the flask.
  4. Slowly add the titrant from the burette while swirling the flask.
  5. Stop when the indicator changes color.
  6. Record the final burette volume and calculate the volume used.
  7. Repeat for accuracy.
• What are the differences between using a pipette and a burette in titration?

  • Pipette: Measures a fixed volume of solution.
  • Burette: Dispenses variable volumes of titrant.
  • Pipette: Used for initial solution.
  • Burette: Used for titrant addition.
• What is the role of an indicator in titration?

  • Indicates the endpoint of the titration.
  • Changes color at a specific pH level.
  • Helps visualize when to stop adding titrant.
• How do you ensure accuracy in titration results?

  • Repeat titration multiple times.
  • Use precise measuring equipment.
  • Record all measurements carefully.
