Q

Explain how to prepare a standard solution

A

1) use a precise balance to measure the required amount of solid
2) transfer the solid into a beaker rinsing any excess into the beaker also, using distilled water
3) add more distilled water to the beaker to dissolve the solid and stir with a glass rod
4) transfer to a volumetric flask and rinse the beaker and rod with distilled water into the flask
5) fill the flask with distilled until the bottom of the meniscus meets the graduation line
6) put on the lip and invert several times

Q

Explain how to carry out a titration

A

1) add a measured volume of one solution to a conical flask using a pipette
2) add the other to a burette and take the initial reading to the nearest 0.05 cm^3
3) add a few drops of indicator to the conical flask
4) run the solution into the flask while constantly swirling until you see a colour change
5) record the final reading and calculate the titre
5) repeat accurately until you get concordat results , which are within 0.1cm3 and calculate a mean titre
