Q

Endpoint

A

when the indicator changes colour

17
Q

Factors to consider when choosing an indicator

A

End point of the indicator must be close to the equivalence point of the reaction

18
Q

What does CONCORDANT mean?

A

0.10mL between the lowest and highest titre

19
Q

Why should we use concordant titres?

A

Increases reliability and precision of results, minimizing effects of random errors

20
Q

STRONG ACIDS

A

HCl, NO3, H2SO4

21
Q

WEAK ACIDS

A

Carboxylic acids

22
Q

STRONG BASES

A

NaOH, KOH, Ba(OH)2

23
Q

WEAK BASES

A

NH3

24
Q

What are TITRATION CURVES?

A

Graph of Burette Volume versus pH in the titration flask

25
Q

What are the types of experimental errors in a volumetric analysis?

A
  1. Rinsing Errors
  2. Indicator Errors
26
Q

What are rinsing errors?

A

Lead to either overestimations or underestimations of analyte concentration
Effects size of the titre delivered

27
Q

What should the volumetric flask be rinsed with?

A

Distilled Water

28
Q

What should the pipette be rinsed with?

A

The solution it is to contain

29
Q

Why shouldn’t we rinse the pipette with water?

A
  • decrease the concentration of solution in the pipette
  • hence a smaller titre of would be delivered by the burette to react completely
  • leading to a lower calculated concentration (underestimation)
30
Q

Why shouldn’t we rinse the pipette with a more concentrated solution?

A
  • Increase the concentration of solution in the pipette
  • Larger titre required to react completely
  • Higher calculated concentration (overestimation)
31
Q

What should the burette be rinsed with?

A

With the solution it is to contain

32
Q

Why shouldn’t the burette be rinsed with water?

A
  • dilute the concentration of solution in burette
  • larger titre required to react completely
  • higher calculated concentration of analyte
33
Q

Why shouldn’t the burette be rinsed with a more concentrated solution?

A
  • increase the concentration of solution in the burette
  • smaller titre required to react completely
  • lower calculated concentration of analyte
34
Q

What should the conical flask be rinsed with?

A

Distilled water

35
Q

Why shouldn’t you rinse the conical flask with the solution it is to contain?

A
  • Increases the concentration of solution
  • Greater titre required
  • Overestimation
36
Q

Poor Indicator Choice

A

Incorrect indicator choice can lead to overestimations and underestimations of final concentration

37
Q

Missed Indicator Endpoint

A

If titration is stopped after endpoint, the size of the titre will be bigger than it should be
