Volumetric Analysis Titrations

• Volumetric titration


  A technique that allows you to work out the volume of acid required to neutralise a certain volume of alkali
• Apparatus required for titration

  • Burette
  • Pipette
  • Pipette filler
• Performing a titration


  1. Carry out a rough titration to find the approximate end point

  2. Use a pipette to measure solution into conical flask

  3. Add indicator to conical flask to see colour change at end point

  4. Use a burette

  5. Perform an accurate titration

  6. Repeat until results are concordant (within ±0.2 cm³)
• A pipette is used to measure the solution into the conical flask because it is accurate and very
• Indicator is added to the conical flask to allow us to see the end point of the reaction, shown by a colour change
• Your teacher will show you how to use a pipette and pipette filler, use a burette, perform a rough titration, and perform an accurate titration
• Every titration reaction should be carried out until results are concordant (within ±0.2 cm³)
