Titration Method

Question 1

Step 1 of a titration

Answer 1

1) Rinse volumetric pipette with distilled water and rinse conical flask

Question 2

Step 2 of a titration

Answer 2

2) Add our known solution volume into the conical flask

Question 3

Step 3 of a titration

Answer 3

3) Rinse the burette with distilled water + a little bit of known solution then proceed to fill the burette with a funnel until it’s above the 0 mark then take the funnel out

Question 4

Step 4 of a titration

Answer 4

4) Open up the tap and drain until below 0cm3, if air bubbles are trapped you keep draining

Question 5

Step 5 to a titration

Answer 5

5) Read off initial reading at eye level from the bottom of the meniscus once it’s attached to the burette stand

Question 6

Step 6 to a titration

Answer 6

6) Add indicator to the conical flask

Question 7

Step 7 to a titration

Answer 7

7) Place on top of a white tile

Question 8

Now the rough trail run starts - step 8

Answer 8

8) Slowly decant until you reach a rough end point and read off

Question 9

Step 9 to a titration

Answer 9

9) Rinse out the conical flask + refill

Question 10

Step 10 to a titration

Answer 10

10) Read off initial reading at eye level

Question 11

Step 11 to a titration

Answer 11

11) Quickly add until 2 cm3 above end point

Question 12

Step 12 to a titration

Answer 12

12) Slowly dropwise until a permanent colour change

Question 13

Step 13 to a titration

Answer 13

13) Read off the final reading before re-setting up

Question 14

What do you look for within titration values?

Answer 14

The titres should be within 0.1cm3 of each other = concordant. If not concordant it should be repeated until you reach concordant results
