Making a Volumetric Solution Flashcards
Volumetric analysis is a process that
the volume and concentration of one chemical reactant (a volumetric solution) to determine the concentration of another unknown solution
The technique most commonly used is a titration
The volumes are measured using two precise pieces of equipment
volumetric or graduated pipette and a burette
Before the titration can be done, the standard……….. must be made
solution
Specific apparatus must be used both when preparing the standard solution and when completing the titration, to ensure that
volumes are measured precisely
Some key pieces of apparatus used to prepare a volumetric solution and perform a simple titration
Beaker
Burette
Volumetric Pipette
Conical Flask
Volumetric Flask
The concentration of a solution is the amount of
solute dissolved in a solvent to make 1 dm3 of solution
The solute is the substance that dissolves in a solvent to form a solution
The solvent is often water
