Practical steps (method) for a titration
3 ways to improve accuracy of titration
Describe method of heating in a cubicle
Volumetric pipette or measuring cylinder
Volumetric pipette because more accurate and smaller uncertainty
Conical flask or beaker
Conical flask because it is easier to swirl the mixture without spilling the contents
Why add distilled water during a titration to a conical flask
Use larger mass of solid
So larger titre reading will be needed
Suggest a source of error using a burette
Air bubble
Inside of conical flask rinsed with deionized water, why does this improve accuracy of titration
Returns reagents on side of mixture
Ensures all reagents are able to react
Explain why adding water does not affect volume required in titration
Added water does not affect amount of moles
