Q

Give the 5 steps to prepare a standard solution

A
  1. weigh solid
  2. dissolve solid in a beaker using less distilled water than will be needed to fill the volumetric flask to the mark
  3. transfer to volumetric flask, rinsing last traces of solution into the flask with distilled water
  4. carefully fill to graduation line (bottom of meniscus) dropwise with distilled water at eye-level
  5. invert several times to mix

Q

Give a method for an acid-base titration procedure

A
  1. add a measured volume of one solution to a conical flask using a pipette
  2. add the other solution to a burette and record the initial burette reading
  3. add a few drops of indicator to the conical flask
  4. run the burette solution into the conical flask swirling throughout. the indicator changes colour at the end point (indicates when the volume of 1 solution reacts exactly with the volume of the second solution)
  5. record the final burette reading
    A quick, trial titration is carried out first to find the approximate titre. The titration is then repeated accurately, adding the solution dropwise as the endpoint is approached. Further titrations are carried out until two accurate titres are concordant.
