- Titration = adding one solution to another to find an unknown concentration
- Burette measures the solution added (±0.05 cm³ precision)
- Pipette measures a fixed volume into the flask (e.g., 25.0 cm³)
- Indicator shows when reaction is complete (end point)
- Concordant results = titres within 0.10 cm³ of each other
- Calculate mean using only concordant results (ignore anomalies)
- Read burette from bottom of meniscus at eye level
- Key equation: n = c × V (V in dm³, so divide cm³ by 1000)

Quick recall flashcards
What is a titration?
A technique to find an unknown concentration by adding a solution of known concentration until the reaction is complete
You measure exactly how much was added
What are concordant results?
Titration results within 0.10 cm³ of each other
These are the reliable results used to calculate the mean
