6.3 Quantitative Analysis: Titration Flashcards
what is titration
volumetric/quantitative technique to find [unknown] using [known “standard”] in acid-base neutralisation reaction
what is a standard solution
solution with a precisely known concentration
what’s a volumetric flask
measuring flask
what is the analyte
solution in conical flask
what is the aliquot
VOLUME of solution in pipette (into conical flask later)
what is a burette
long glass tube to deliver solutions
how many d.p. can you read off glassware
2 dp
ideal indicators for the titrand
phenolphthalein (basic)
methyl orange (acidic)
what is the titrant
solution added from burette
what is the titrand
leftover titrant
what is the titre
VOLUME of solution added from burette
5 steps: how to prepare standard solution from solids
(1) distilled water on beaker and rod
(2) weigh solid with beaker
(3) dissolve in water using stirring rod
(4) transfer to solution using volumetric flask
(5) add water and shake
rinse all equipment with distilled water to…
get rid of contaminants
pipette and burette are finally rinsed with…
liquid they will contain (base in pipette, acid in burette)
assume …sig figs for pipette and flask

how to see colour change in conical flask easier
use white paper underneath
what is a primary standard
solution MADE by dissolving accurate solute in solvent
what is secondary standard
solution whose concentration is determined by titration against a primary standard
