💡 Exam Tips for Titrations
🎯 Common Question Types:
- Describe the titration method for the required practical (4-6 marks)
- Calculate unknown concentration from titre data (3-4 marks)
- Identify concordant results and calculate the mean titre (2 marks)
- Explain a source of error and how to reduce it (2 marks)
- Explain why a particular indicator is chosen (1-2 marks)
📝 Key Command Words:
- Describe: Give all steps of the method in logical order
- Calculate: Show n = c × V, then ratio, then c = n ÷ V
- Explain: Give a scientific reason (e.g., rinsing prevents dilution)
- Suggest: Identify a possible source of error from the data given
⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid:
- Forgetting to convert cm³ to dm³ (÷ 1000) before using n = c × V
- Averaging the rough titration with the concordant results
- Forgetting to use the mole ratio from the balanced equation
- Reading the top of the meniscus instead of the bottom
- Not rinsing the pipette with the solution it will transfer
