How to carry out a titration
1.Wash burette using acid and then water
2. Fill burette to 100cm3 with acid with the meniscus’ base on the 100cm3
line
3. Use 25cm3 pipette to add 25cm3
of alkali into a conical flask, drawing alkali into the
pipette using a pipette filler
4. Add a few drops of a suitable indicator to the conical flask (eg: phenolphthalein
which is pink when alkaline and colourless when acidic)
5. Add acid from burette to alkali until end-point is reached (as shown by indicator)
6. The titre (volume of acid needed to exactly neutralise the acid) is the difference
between the first (100cm3
) and second readings on the burette)
7. Repeat the experiment until you get concordant results
