Q

How to prepare standard solutions

A
  • solid is weighed
  • solid is dissolved using less distilled water than needed to fill the volumetric flask
  • solution is transferred to volumetric flask
  • remaining solution is rinsed into flask with more distilled water
  • more distilled water is added drop-wise to reach meniscus
  • flask is slowly inverted to make sure the solution is mixed

Q

Acid base titration procedure

A
  • add a measured volume of 1 solution to a conical flask
  • add other solution to burette, record initial reading (0.05)
  • add indicator
  • when the indicator changes colour at the end point stop the tap
  • record final burette reading
  • calculate titre by subtracting initial from final
  • further titrations are carried out until titres are concordant (0.1)
