Q

How do you prepare a standard solution

A

1) weigh solid accurately
2) solid dissolved in beaker
3) solution transferred to volumetric flask and beaker contents rinsed into flask
4) flask filled to graduation line using pipette until bottom of meniscus line up with mark
5) volumetric flask inverted several times

Q

How do you do an acid-base titration?

A

1) Add measured volume of solution to conical flask using pipette
2) Add other solution to burette and record initial reading
3) add few drops of indicator to solution in conical flask
4) run solution in burette into solution in conical flask, swirling conical flask, until indicator changes colour at end point of titration
5) Record final burette reading
6) Quick trial titration is carried out and then it’s repeated more accurately until two concordant results
