Q
How to carry out a Titration
A
- Measure a known volume of alkali into a flask using a volumetric pipette. Measure from the bottom of the Meniscus.
- Add a few drops of indicator (phenolphthalein- Pink in alkali, colourless in acid)
- Pour acid into a Burette. Drop into alkali until alkali changes colour.
- Measure how much acid it took, an repeat until you get two identical results.
13
Q
Where does the alkali go in a Titration?
A
The flask.
14
Q
sums to remember
A
conc = mol/ vol and mol = mass/ Mr
